DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

Web traffic, app reach and release cadence

How the China companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.

Busiest websites

26 of the 828 companies on this page carry a measured traffic record (3.1%); these are the largest of those, by monthly visits. The median among them is 310,609 visits.

Visits and authority are third-party web estimates, not company-reported figures.

Most-installed apps

58 of these companies (7%) publish at least one Android app — 98 apps in all, carrying 512.8M installs between them.

Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.

App reach by segment

The busiest app inside each of this page’s own segments, with the quarterly release trend behind it (2023Q2–2026Q2).

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.

Release cadence by quarter

New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.

2023Q1: 12023Q1: 02023Q12023Q2: 32023Q2: 02023Q22023Q3: 52023Q3: 12023Q32023Q4: 32023Q4: 02023Q42024Q1: 12024Q1: 32024Q12024Q2: 62024Q2: 42024Q22024Q3: 32024Q3: 42024Q32024Q4: 12024Q4: 32024Q42025Q1: 22025Q1: 12025Q12025Q4: 32025Q4: 222025Q4

Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 95 of 98 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2025Q4, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.

DEMAND, SUPPLY & PLACE

Where demand signals run ahead of mapped supply — China

Compare demand signals in China’s newsflow with the cybersecurity categories mapped to each signal.

Expand panel +
HOW TO READ THE GAP

Signal percentile − supply percentile = gap in percentile points. Positive gaps highlight questions to investigate. A high signal can reflect spending pressure or access friction, as well as potential demand.

The comparison is relative to the signal families on this page. A supply percentile of zero means the lowest relative reading, not zero companies. It is a prioritisation clue, not measured market size or unmet demand.

UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE

Cybersecurity in China: key questions

Clear definitions for making better comparisons.

What does this landscape measure?

It measures the tracked company ecosystem, recorded funding, hiring and other available evidence. It is not a market-size estimate.

Can segment counts be added together?

No. A company can belong to several segments, so segment counts and funding can overlap.

What does a missing figure mean?

A dash or unavailable panel means the current reviewed source snapshot does not support that figure.

Company ecosystem snapshot: 1 September 2026. Funding is recorded in USD; filed accounts retain their stated currency and reporting basis. Each section identifies its own coverage. The news and research behind these sections is explorable in Prism.
