- Integrated quantum optical circuits are miniaturized photonic devices that manipulate quantum states of light for applications in computing, communication, and sensing. These circuits leverage materials such as silicon photonics and lithium niobate to achieve scalability, energy efficiency, and high-fidelity signal transmission
- The growing demand is primarily driven by the need for high-speed, secure data transmission, advances in quantum computing architectures, and ongoing R&D initiatives by governments and tech firms to commercialize quantum technologies for real-world use cases
- North America dominated the integrated quantum optical circuits market with a share of over 35% in 2024, due to strong research investments in quantum technologies, the presence of major tech firms, and increasing collaborations between academic institutions and industry
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the integrated quantum optical circuits market during the forecast period due to rising investments in quantum research, strong semiconductor infrastructure, and supportive government policies in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea
- Quantum computing segment dominated the market with a market share of 39.6% in 2024, due to a surge in global investments and R&D initiatives aimed at developing scalable quantum processors. Integrated photonic circuits are being leveraged to generate, manipulate, and detect quantum states of light, providing the necessary scalability, noise resilience, and compactness required for building practical quantum computers
