ForewordEmpowering a New Era of QuantumSecurity IndustryIn 2026, the global quantum security industry is transitionind from a phase of technological capability building toward a stageof systematic formation. After vears of accumulation instandardization efforts, technical validation, and pilot deploymentsquantum securitv is proaressivelv beina intearated into the diaitainfrastructure uparade frameworks of various countries. Its role isshittina from a forward-lookina technoloay reserve to a practicalsecurity capability. The core logic of industry development isunderooing a fundamental transformation-from being driven byisolated technological breakthroughs to being propelled by aimplementation, and industrial collaboration.From aaloballandscaoe nersoective.maior economies haveall elevated quantum security to a key component of nationalstrategy and cy bersecurity systems. The United States, followingthe finalization of its Post-Ouantum Cryptography (PQC) standardsis accelerating the migration of federal systems and supportingindustrialimolementation. Europe, under a unified strategicframework, is strengthening its standards system whileconcurrently advancing the deployment of quantumcommunication infrastructure. China, quided by national planningemphasizes the intearated development of auantum securitv withnext-generation information infrastructure. Other countries-including Canada, Japan, South Korea, and India-are also pursuing deployments centered on critical infrastructure securityand advanced communication frameworks. In summary, althoughnational nathwavs differ. all exhibit a converaing trend of policyquidance, standards implementation, and enqineerinoadvancement. The global quantum security industry has entered aphase of institutionalized and svstematic proaression.
ForewordLooking ahead, as quantum comoutina capabilities continue to advance and the risks to traditional public-kev crvntosvstems are progressively incorporated into long-term assessmentframeworksquantum security will evolve from phased deployment towardlarae-scale svstematic implementation. The miaration pace of Post-Ouantum Crvotoaraphy and the networking capacity buildingof Quantum Key Distribution will form a layered and coordinatedarchitecture, with hybrid security frameworks emerging as a pragmatic pathway. Industry growth will be closely tied to the paceof national institutional advancements infrastructure upgradecycles, and sector-specific migration demands. It is expected toenter an accelerated growth phase around 2030, and over a longe. horizon. wil reshape the architecture of global digital securityThis report adopts a global perspective, providing a systematicreview and comprehensive analvsis of the policv environmenttechnoloaical evolution. industrial structure, and market size trendsIt aims to present the overallstate of the quantum security industry ...
