CCTV News:This morning (May 18th), China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association released the White Paper on the Development of Satellite Navigation and Location Service Industry in China in 2021. According to the white paper, the total output value of China’s satellite navigation and location service industry will reach 403.3 billion yuan in 2020, an increase of about 16.9% compared with 2019.
In 2020, the opening of Beidou-3 global system and the implementation of the national "new infrastructure" development strategy further stimulated and stimulated the demand and investment of Beidou satellite navigation technology application in various industries, and the domestic satellite navigation and location service industry gained significant development opportunities, and the industrial growth rate returned to the fast lane.

Yu Xiancheng, President of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association:In 2020, China’s Beidou-3 system was fully completed and provided global services, which indicates that China’s Beidou industry has entered a golden period of development, especially the wide application of Beidou+and Beidou+in various fields. (This year) It has maintained a double-digit growth for 10 consecutive years, which also indicates that the industrial development is full of stamina.

The white paper shows that the core output value of chips, devices, software, navigation data, terminal equipment and infrastructure directly related to the development and application of satellite navigation technology has reached 129.5 billion yuan. As a strategic resource and an important guarantee for national security and an indispensable basic information resource for economic construction, Beidou will fully serve the major strategies of national defense, diplomacy and economic and social development in the future.
Yu Xiancheng, President of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association:The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly stated that it is necessary to promote the large-scale application and industrial development of Beidou. Therefore, in the next step, we should actively advocate the priority of Beidou and continue to promote the deep application of Beidou in all walks of life, especially to vigorously promote the technological autonomy, system localization, application scale, service industrialization and market globalization of Beidou, so as to promote the healthy and rapid development of Beidou industry.

In addition, with the completion of Beidou global system and the rapid development of industry, the annual number of satellite navigation patent applications in China continues to increase. By 2020, the total number of satellite navigation patent applications in China has exceeded 85,000, ranking first in the world. It is expected that satellite navigation technology patent applications will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend.
According to the white paper, the Beidou system has fully served the transportation, public safety, disaster relief and disaster reduction industries, and has been integrated into the national core infrastructure such as electricity, finance and communications, reflecting the trend of Beidou’s wide application and full cross-border integration in various fields.
According to the latest data, by the end of 2020, the Beidou system has been applied to over 7 million road vehicles, over 30,000 postal express trunk vehicles and 1,400 official ships in China, and the comprehensive traffic management efficiency and transportation safety level have been comprehensively improved, and the number of serious accidents has dropped by 93%; The comprehensive application demonstration project of Beidou railway industry was officially launched, and nearly 8,000 Beidou terminals of various models were promoted. In addition, "forest protection+Beidou" and "public security patrol+Beidou" have also been widely deployed.

Liu Dake, Executive Vice President of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association:In fact, all fields are actively entering the Beidou industry, such as communication, water conservancy, electric power and transportation, and special Beidou industrial institutions or Beidou enterprises have been set up one after another, making the scale of industrial development bigger and bigger, especially they are actively exploring Beidou as a technology to empower various industries, making the application scenarios wider and wider.
According to the white paper, Beijing, Shanghai, Hebei and other provinces and cities have successively introduced policies to develop new infrastructure, carried out "Beidou +5G" application demonstration, promoted the in-depth application of Beidou technology, and created an ecosystem of Beidou industrial integration application.

Not only in China, Beidou system has been applied in many countries and regions around the world, providing services for users above 100 million. Beidou-based land confirmation, precision agriculture, digital construction, vehicle and ship supervision and smart port solutions have been successfully applied in ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia, Africa and other regions.

Liu Dake, Executive Vice President of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association:At present, the operation of Beidou system is stable and good, and the performance of each function meets the requirements of the index, which provides strong support for the development of all walks of life and greatly improves the production efficiency and quality. The circle of friends who use Beidou is also getting bigger and wider.
In addition, Beidou has also widely entered the fields of e-commerce, mass consumption, sharing economy and people’s livelihood, profoundly changing people’s production and lifestyle.
According to the white paper, in 2020, the total sales volume of domestic satellite navigation and positioning terminal products exceeded 436 million units, among which the shipments of smart phones with satellite navigation and positioning functions reached 296 million units. At present, mainstream chip manufacturers at home and abroad have launched integrated integrated chips compatible with Beidou, and smart phones have become one of the most important application fields of satellite navigation systems. The terminal sales in the automobile navigation aftermarket reached 2.81 million units, and the terminal sales in the automobile navigation front market reached 4.37 million units.

Zhang Quande, Secretary General of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association:The main application scenarios include intelligent networked cars, agricultural machinery, surveying and mapping instruments, robots and Internet of Things terminals, which can be said to be high-level and high-precision applications. The products of international mainstream chip manufacturers, including smart phone device suppliers, widely support Beidou, and most of the mobile phones of major domestic brands support Beidou function.

With the rapid development of mobile location services and smart city construction, Beidou’s application in the public domain, represented by high-precision drones, has also made a comprehensive breakthrough. During the fight against the epidemic in 2020, the UAV mapping scheme based on Beidou high-precision technology realizes real-time data collection, transmission, analysis, push and scheduling, which greatly shortens the time of preliminary survey and measurement for medical infrastructure construction in Hubei, Shaanxi and other places, and significantly improves the construction efficiency.


The reporter also learned that after years of development, the industrial structure of China’s satellite navigation and location services has matured, and the internal circulation ecology of independent and controllable and benign development of the industrial chain has basically taken shape. In particular, Beidou system is deeply integrated with new technologies such as new generation communication, blockchain, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, and a complete industrial chain integrating chips, modules, boards, terminals and operational services is built.
