Enterprise quantum computing spending hits $300M in 2025, surpassing research labs and governments combined for the first time
↗
BCG reports that enterprise users spent $300M on quantum computing in 2025, the first year corporate spending exceeded the combined total of research labs and governments.
This marks a shift in who funds quantum computing, with enterprises now the dominant spenders rather than public-sector or academic institutions. For engineering teams, it signals that quantum computing budgets are increasingly coming from commercial lines rather than research grants. The crossover suggests companies are moving beyond exploratory pilots toward programs they believe confer a competitive edge.
