The company joins fellow honorees Snowflake, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, MongoDB, and Cloudflare driving outsize growth and returns

COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2025-- IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world’s leading quantum company, today announced it is the only quantum company on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 31st year.

IonQ revenue grew nearly 2000% from 2021 to 2024 due to the accelerating adoption of the company’s quantum platform technologies in the US and around the world. The company’s rapid expansion reflects its progress in delivering enterprise-ready quantum systems, expanding its global footprint with commercial and government customers, and advancing its roadmap across quantum computing, quantum networking, quantum sensing, and quantum security.

“IonQ has experienced tremendous growth in 2025, significantly outperforming revenue expectations and delivering on key technology milestones months ahead of schedule,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ. “Being the only quantum company named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 affirms the increasing commercial advantage of IonQ's quantum technologies.”

The 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 companies achieved revenue increases with an average growth rate of 1,079%. The ranking is based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2021 to 2024.

“This year’s rankings highlight both enduring leadership and breakthrough momentum,” said Wolfe Tone, US Deloitte Private & Emerging Client Portfolio leader and partner, Deloitte Tax LLP. “More than half of the winners are prior honorees, yet the majority of the top ten are first-time entrants — demonstrating the staying power of established leaders alongside the accelerating growth of new innovators across key sectors. As in previous years, private companies continue to dominate, underscoring the agility that private enterprises bring to competitive markets, enabling the exceptional triple and quadruple digit growth reflected in these rankings.”

IonQ’s recognition in the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 follows other recent awards and listings in Forbes’ Most Successful Mid-Cap Companies, Newsweek’s Excellence Index 1000, Built In’s Best Midsize Places to Work, and Fortune’s Future 50 award.
