Breaking news: Beidou navigation chips and modules have sold 100 million pieces

News on May 19 According to China Beidou Satellite Navigation System, on May 18, the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association released the "2020 China Satellite Navigation and Location Service Industry Development White Paper" in Beijing.

The white paper shows that the overall output value of my country's satellite navigation and location services industry reached 345 billion yuan in 2019, an increase of 14.4% compared with 2018. Among them, the core output value of industries directly related to the research and development and application of satellite navigation technology was 116.6 billion yuan, accounting for 33.8% of the total output value.

It is understood that in 2019, the deployment of the core constellation of the Beidou-3 global system was completed.

In addition, the white paper shows that as of the end of 2019, the sales of domestic Beidou-compatible chips and modules have exceeded 100 million pieces, and the total sales of domestic satellite navigation and positioning terminal products have exceeded 460 million units, of which the sales volume of smartphones with satellite navigation and positioning functions has reached 372 million tower. At present, the total number of terminal products using Beidou-compatible chips, including smartphones, has exceeded 700 million units/set.

As the basic function support of hardware, Beidou has a broad future market, including smart mobile devices, connected cars, wearable and IoT devices, etc. However, without excellent technology, low enough costs and a strong ecosystem, Beidou cannot easily Entering the civilian market.

However, this white paper shows that Beidou has begun to gradually penetrate into the civilian market and has achieved results.

It is reported that the current total sales of domestic satellite navigation and positioning terminal products has exceeded 460 million units, of which the sales volume of smartphones with satellite navigation and positioning functions has reached 372 million units. The total number of terminal products including smartphones using Beidou-compatible chips has exceeded 700 million units/set.

Among them, chips launched by mainstream foreign chip manufacturers are already compatible with Beidou. In the third quarter of 2019, more than 400 mobile phone models applied for network access in the Chinese market, of which nearly 300 models support Beidou positioning.

Regarding the layout of connected cars, the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association believes that with the application and popularization of the Beidou-3 satellite-based enhancement system, Beidou can act as a "clairvoyant" and be fully applied to scenarios such as smart cars, autonomous driving, and vehicle-road collaboration. middle.

As for wearable devices, Beidou is targeting the high-precision market. It is reported that the solution it launched can greatly improve the positioning accuracy and positioning reliability of wearable devices, and combine with 5G to achieve sub-meter level positioning. In the future, it will be widely used in high-precision children's watches, bracelets for the elderly, pet trackers, walkie-talkies, mobile phones and other devices.
