Market snapshot

These figures describe Quantum Computing (9.2.8), the segment that Quantum Computing Hardware Platforms sits within. They are not figures for Quantum Computing Hardware Platforms on its own.

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

Not separately classified, and genuinely pre-commercial. Revenue today is research contracts and cloud access, not production workloads. The near-term commercial impact is defensive: post-quantum cryptography migration is a real, funded program across finance and government well ahead of any working machine at scale.
