China's BeiDou spatiotemporal industry achieved a total output value of 1.33 trillion yuan (about $195 billion), marking a milestone in a new stage of high-quality growth, according to a report released on Monday by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Location Based Services (LBS) Association of China.

The BeiDou spatiotemporal industry is a comprehensive system centered on the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), integrating technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), mobile communications and indoor positioning.

Within this industry, the satellite navigation sector – the core of BeiDou – generated 629 billion yuan (about $92 billion) in 2025, up 9.24% year on year, demonstrating strong resilience and significant growth potential.

China has now established a complete BeiDou industrial chain and supply chain, covering chips, modules, antennas, terminals, system integration and application services. Domestic capabilities are becoming increasingly self-reliant, with the cumulative shipments of BeiDou-compatible chips and modules reaching hundreds of millions, supporting a secure and robust industry supply chain.

Domestic sales of BeiDou-enabled terminals exceeded 410 million units in 2025, with over 2.2 billion BeiDou-capable devices in use across the country.

Internationally, BeiDou services and related products have been exported to more than 140 countries and regions, reflecting the system's growing global footprint.
