Hello Q-Day
Expect growth from $1.2 billion in 2026 to $13 billion in 2035.
Juniper Research suggests there are two primary forces driving the 30% compound annual growth rate of post-quantum cryptography.
- The rapid evolution of standards and regulations designed to prepare for Q-Day.
- Sustained R&D (research and development) investment that is accelerating algorithm maturity through rigorous, real-world testing.
What is Q-Day? It is the point at which quantum computers can compromise today’s encryption, and it is on the radar of governments and other organizations.
Enter cryptography.
This is a technological domain that is heavily reliant on interoperability across infrastructure, with many systems required to operate across borders.
Quantum attacks are on the horizon. But didn’t we say quantum was safe? Attention: we must be prepared.
