This includes core quantum computing as a service as well as enabling and adjacent quantum computing as a service.
"For many critical problems, classical computing will run out of steam in the next decade and we will see quantum computing take over as the next generation of performance-intensive computing," said Peter Rutten, global research lead for performance intensive computing at IDC.
The research firm stated that major breakthroughs in quantum computing technology, and the growth of performance intensive computing workloads suitable for quantum technology will drive the majority of the growth .
IDC also expects investments in the quantum computing market to reach around $16.4 billion by the end of 2027, growing at an annual growth rate of 11.33%
