IQM’s State of Quantum 2025: Quantum Industry Must Solve Talent Shortage and Software Platforms, Not Just Qubits>

(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers in collaboration with analyst firm Omdia (LON:INF), today unveiled the third edition of its State of Quantum Report, revealing that the quantum industry must address talent shortages and software development kits (SDK) gaps in order to scale beyond just qubit count. As quantum computing shifts from theoretical promise to practical integration, the report projects that the global quantum computing market will reach over $22 billion by 2032 as commercial deployments accelerate. The findings also show that 75% of respondents believe that defining the right applications is the most critical factor for adoption. As Dr. Jan Goetz, Co-CEO and Co-founder of IQM, noted in his foreword, “Quantum’s promise is clear, but fulfilling it requires orchestrated progress across the hardware and software stack—transforming these powerful machines from niche tools into drivers of real-world outcomes.” The report also argues that progress hinges on synchronising hardware industrialisation with software platform maturity. Today, software development kit fragmentation hampers portability and slows adoption in multi-vendor s...(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers in collaboration with analyst firm Omdia (LON:INF), today unveiled the third edition of its State of Quantum Report, revealing that the quantum industry must address talent shortages and software development kits (SDK) gaps in order to scale beyond just qubit count.
