In 2025, Quantum computing has emerged as a major trend in the IT industry and is ready to revolutionize data processing and reshape technological landscapes, according to Fuelled Networks. The United Nations has even designated 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. One of the most critical implications for IT departments in 2025 is the impact of quantum computing on cryptography. Quantum computers have the theoretical potential to break widely used cryptographic algorithms, such as RSA 2048, in mere hours. This poses a severe cybersecurity risk. Consequently, quantum-resistant cryptography/PQC is a top priority for IT security experts. IT teams are actively auditing existing systems to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize high-risk areas like customer data and intellectual property for PQC implementation.
A key development democratizing access to quantum computing within the IT industry in 2025 is the expansion of cloud-based quantum services, or Quantum as a Service/QaaS. This model allows IT departments and developers to experiment with quantum computing without needing significant on-premises infrastructure investments. Major tech players are offering QaaS platforms and providing on-demand access to diverse quantum hardware from various vendors. Grand View Research reported that the global IT services market size was estimated at $1.50 trillion in 2024 and is projected to reach $2.59 trillion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2025 to 2030.
