According to the white paper, the overall output value of China's satellite navigation and location services industry reached 469 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of about 16.29% compared to 2020.

With the opening of the Beidou-3 global system, it has further stimulated and stimulated the demand and investment of various industries in the application of Beidou satellite navigation technology. In 2021, China's satellite navigation and location service industry will continue to maintain a stable and high-speed growth trend, the scope of the industrial ecosystem will further expand, and the structure will continue to optimize.

Yu Xiancheng, President of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, stated that 2021 is the first year since China's Beidou-3 system provided global services, and also the beginning year of the country's 14th Five Year Plan. China's satellite navigation and location service industry is entering a new stage of comprehensive spatiotemporal system construction. In this context, the radiation driving effect of the Beidou system on economic and social development has significantly increased.

The white paper shows that the promotion of the digital economy in 2021 has accelerated the integration of Beidou into the infrastructure construction of industries such as power, agriculture, and communication. In the power industry, as of the end of 2021, more than 380000 sets of various terminals such as Beidou positioning, timing, and short message communication have been promoted and applied throughout the industry. The country has completed the construction and deployment of over 2000 Beidou ground-based enhanced benchmark stations in the power industry.

In the field of agriculture, the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that more than 100000 agricultural machines have been installed with the Beidou auto drive system system nationwide, which has realized the integration of agricultural machinery operation data across enterprises, and the 24-hour dynamic monitoring of rice, wheat, corn and other staple crops harvesting and tractor operations. Wu Lin, vice president of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, told reporters that, for example, the auto drive system system of Beidou agricultural machinery based on Beidou high-precision positioning technology can be used in such links as land preparation, sowing, film mulching, tree planting, ditching, spraying and harvesting, which realizes the whole process of agricultural production.

The reporter noticed that the Beidou system not only fully empowers national infrastructure, but also achieves large-scale applications in the fields of sharing economy, smartphones and other mass consumption, profoundly changing people's production and lifestyle. According to the white paper, the total sales of domestic satellite navigation and positioning terminal products exceeded 510 million units in 2021, of which the shipment of smartphones with satellite navigation and positioning functions reached 343 million units. As of the end of 2021, the sales of domestically produced Beidou compatible chips and modules have exceeded 200 million pieces. With the continuous breakthroughs in chip and other basic product technologies, a Beidou basic product certification and testing system has been established and implemented in China. Sun Zhongliang, Vice President of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, stated in an interview that with the high-precision application of Beidou in the field of shared bicycles, such as the popularity of food delivery riders and public electric bicycles, the popularization of Beidou high-precision has made significant breakthroughs in this field, making Beidou high-precision deeply integrated into all aspects of social life.
