Car networking market 100 billion cake grab food need to develop hardware terminals

“Internet of Things” has become a well-known concept, but the progress of the “four-network convergence” project, which is an important prerequisite for the Internet of Things, has been slow, and the development of the Internet of Things has become difficult. It was at this time that “car networking” was part of the Internet of Things. It is rising at a rapid rate and has spawned a 100 billion-class market.

The so-called car networking refers to the technology that the electronic equipment mounted on the vehicle uses radio frequency identification technology to realize the interconnection between vehicles and provides a series of integrated services.

It is reported that the car network coverage includes map vendors, car manufacturers, mobile operators, content providers, and even car aftermarket service providers such as 4S stores and insurance companies, forming an ecological chain. At present, the economic benefits of the Internet of Vehicles have gradually become prominent. Taking the example of the car networking of domestic companies that provide professional networking services, the company's profit has reached 30 million yuan last year. "The Internet of Vehicles can make money." Zhang Chunhui, president of CarNet, told reporters.

In fact, the national car ownership has exceeded 100 million. In the first eight months of this year, only private passenger cars reached 8.81 million. Coupled with the rapid development of the mobile Internet, "the car networking market is at least one hundred billion scale." Zhang Chunhui told reporters. Faced with huge market prospects, both the Internet and telecom vendors, and even the traditional auto companies are stepping up their layout. According to the car network interconnection, at present, Huawei, China Telecom (microblogging) are in the force of the market.

However, car networking has also been no small challenge. Not only has the development of the Internet of Things formed a paralysis on the networking of cars, but it has also been subject to competition from professional map makers and LBS companies. How to break this situation has become the most pressing issue.

Zhang Chunhui believes that the key is to guide users to understand the industry and services, but to achieve this goal, "not by software alone, we must develop the terminal." The industry generally believes that the concept of car networking must be solidified to the products that users can see and touch, so as to promote the development of the industry. However, the current consumer-oriented Vehicular Terminals have different forms and it is difficult to form clustering effects. However, this also brings opportunities for various companies. "Who can occupy the terminal of the car network, who will win in the future." Zhang Chunhui stressed.
