According to the report, the global smart city MARKet size in 2018 was 308 billion US dollars, which is expected to grow to 717.2 billion US dollars by 2023, and the compound annual growth rate in the forecast period from 2018 to 2023 is 18.4%.

The overall trend must be upward. Many relevant vertical industry companies in the industry have been linked to smart cities.

In addition, the demand for public security, the increase of urban population and the increase of government initiatives will become the three driving forces to promote the development of smart cities.

How to understand?

Xiao Bian believes that security has always been an important part of urban construction, AI security has begun to rise, and black technologies such as face recognition and biometrics have begun to embrace traditional security; While population migration promotes the process of urbanization, urban scale expansion is an inevitable phenomenon, but urban boundaries need reasonable control; The government pays more attention to scientific and reasonable planning in urban construction, and "every inch of land should be clearly planned before starting construction", which has become the most eye-catching sentence in the recent Overall Plan of Xiong'an New District, Hebei (2018-2035), which of course reflects that the policy starts to focus on the science of smart cities from the top-level design.

The smart transportation sector is estimated to account for the largest market size in 2018

According to the report, it is expected that in the forecast period (i.e., 2018-2023), smart transportation will grow at an amazing compound annual growth rate. Smart transport solutions provide an important driving force for existing and new transport infrastructure projects.

However, it is also necessary to rEMInd that the urban population explosion and environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious.

Smart transportation drives high-speed growth of automobile PCB

The automobile has evolved from a complete mechanical device to a combination of machinery and electronics. The proportion of automobile electronics in the manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle is increasing, and the market scale of automobile electronics is also expanding.

Combination of machinery and electronics in automobile industry

Due to the complex working environment of automobiles, automobile PCBs have high requirements for reliability. Secondly, the automobile industry has a recall system, and manufacturers need to bear the risk of product errors. Small manufacturers cannot afford to, so they will be excluded.

Moreover, the access threshold of Automotive PCB is high, and it must pass a series of verification tests. The certification cycle is long. Once the certification is passed, the manufacturer will not change suppliers easily, and the order is relatively stable.

Intelligent driving has opened up a greater imagination space for the automobile economy, and its penetration rate in the automobile market is increasing. The market of ADAS system (advanced driving assistance system) is growing rapidly, gradually penetrating into the middle market from the original high-end market, and the improved new sensor technology is also creating new opportunities for system deployment.

At present, the penetration rate of ADAS is less than 5%. With the further development and improvement of its functions, as well as the encouragement and even mandatory requirements of the policy, it is expected that it will grow at a rate of more than 20% in the future, and the market size is expected to approach 30 billion dollars by 2020.

Various operation control, safety control and peripheral control functions specified in ADAS need to be realized by PCBs. It is expected that more PCBs will be assembLED to meet the driving needs of cars that achieve full automatic driving in the future.

China's intelligent driving market scale and forecast

The demand for PCB of new energy vehicles is also huge. With the support of industrial policies, the domestic new energy vehicle market has maintained rapid growth since 2014. BMS is one of the core components of new energy vehicles, and as one of the basIC components of BMS, PCB will also benefit from the development of new energy vehicles. PCB manufacturers, PCB designers and PCBA manufacturers will explain the application of PCB in the future intelligent transportation.
