Quantum Random Number Generators: A Ten-year Market Assessment

Report: IQT-QRNG-0121
Published January 19, 2021

Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) have taken on an important new role in the quantum technology business in the past year or so. They have proved to be a key enabling technology for quantum-level security in mobile devices, data centers and medical implants, to name just a few key areas. QRNGs have also provided a welcome improvement for standard RNGs, which have been used for years in scientific research, in gaming, etc.

In addition the advent of QRNGs also provides an entry strategy for many firms into the quantum technology space. But while the QRNG space is relatively easy to enter, this creates the issue of how QRNG firms can best distinguish their offerings in the marketplace. QRNG positioning is currently being achieved through form factors. throughputs, chip sizes, pricing certifiability, health checks, marketing focus and more.

The report includes a quantitative ten-year forecast for QRNGs, with breakouts by form factor (chips, extension cards and standalone devices), as well as application (smartphones, IoT, finance, telecommunications, government and military, data centers, gambling, and R&D. Forecasts are provided in volume and value terms. The report also profiles 13 firms currently producing QRNGs setting out their products, market strategies, markets targeted, financing, etc.

This report is intended for market planners and strategists at firms in the quantum technology, cybersecurity, gaming, and data communications sectors to name a few. We also believe the report will make essential reading for investors and quantum specialists at research institutes and universities.
