The total scale of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System has steadily increased and a new chapter in marketization has been fully opened

On May 18, China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association released the White Paper on the Development of China's Satellite Navigation and Location Service Industry in 2023. The White Paper shows that the total output value of China's satellite navigation and location service industry will reach 500.7 billion yuan in 2022, up 6.76% year-on-year.

Since the BeiDou-3 global system was opened in 2020, it has further stimulated and stimulated the demand and investment of Beidou technology application in various industries. In 2022, China's satellite navigation and location service industry continued to maintain a steady growth trend, its structure continued to be optimized, and its industrial scope further expanded.

Data show that the core output value of chips, navigation data, terminal equipment and infrastructure directly related to the research and development and application of satellite navigation technology has reached 152.7 billion yuan. As a strategic resource and important guarantee of national security and an indispensable basic information resource for economic construction, BeiDou will fully serve China's economic and social development in the future.

BeiDou system fully empowers national infrastructure

According to the White Paper, since 2022, BeiDou system has accelerated its integration into infrastructure construction in power, natural resources, agriculture, communication, transportation and other industries, greatly improved the capability level of high-precision location services, and gradually formed a good situation of deep application and large-scale development.

In 2022, the power industry will continue to vigorously promote the application of BeiDou. By the end of 2022, the whole industry has completed the construction and deployment of more than 2,000 electric BeiDou ground-based enhanced reference stations, and promoted more than 500,000 BeiDou application terminals, providing reliable, accurate and stable high-precision location services for intelligent equipment in business applications such as unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous inspection, substation robot inspection and tower monitoring. At present, all vehicles in the power industry are equipped with BeiDou vehicle terminals.

Application of Beidou system

In the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, up to now, the universal geological disaster monitoring and early warning system with BeiDou high-precision technology as the core has been monitored in more than ten provinces such as Yunnan and Sichuan. The system combines BeiDou high-precision receiver, raingauge and other sensors to monitor the deformation, cracks and groundwater level of hidden danger of disaster, and realize remote online real-time monitoring, analysis and early warning.

Zhao Jicheng, executive vice president and spokesperson of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said that Beidou landslide early warning instruments with low price and low energy consumption have been installed in more than 22,000 hidden danger points in 17 provinces in China, realizing "civil air defense + technical defense", improving disaster early warning ability and effectively ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.

Application of Beidou system

In the field of agriculture, according to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, there are more than 50 agricultural machinery enterprises with BeiDou terminal as the standard configuration in China, and nearly 1.6 million sets of remote operation and maintenance terminals such as automatic driving system of agricultural machinery, operation monitoring and positioning fishing of fishing boats have been installed, realizing the integration of agricultural machinery operation data across enterprises, and the 24-hour dynamic monitoring of harvesting of major food crops such as rice, wheat and corn and tractor operation.

Yu Xiancheng, president of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said that BeiDou system application demonstration has also been launched in civil aviation, railway, forestry and emergency industries. With the continuous popularization of "plus BeiDou" application, BeiDou technology and time-space information have been deeply applied in some industries, and a new unmanned and automated production operation mode has been formed.

BeiDou system is applied on a large scale in the field of mass consumption

BeiDou system not only fully empowers the national infrastructure, but also realizes large-scale application in mass consumption fields such as sharing economy and smart phones, which profoundly changes people's production and lifestyle.

According to the White Paper, in 2022, the total sales volume of domestic satellite navigation and positioning terminal products exceeded 376 million units, among which the shipments of smart phones with satellite navigation and positioning functions reached 264 million units. The sales volume of various positioning terminal equipment including Internet of Things, wearable, vehicle-mounted and high-precision exceeded 100 million units/set. In addition, many domestic navigation map suppliers officially switched to BeiDou priority positioning, and the average daily usage has exceeded 360 billion times.

Zhao Jicheng said that by the end of 2022, the sales volume of domestic Beidou compatible chips and modules had exceeded 300 million pieces, and the total social ownership of terminal products with BeiDou positioning function, including smart phones, exceeded 1.288 billion units/set. Chip technology continues to break through, and 12 nm technology and low power consumption chips will be launched soon.

"At present, the overall scale of BeiDou application is still steadily increasing, key areas are also continuing to exert strength, international cooperation has achieved steady development, and BeiDou's large-scale application is fully opening a new chapter in marketization, industrialization and international development." Yu Xiancheng added.
