Smart Street Light Pole—Fast-growing Field of China’s Outdoor Lighting Market

Smart Street Light Pole

“the global market scale of smart light poles will exceed 50 billion yuan in 2020. Due to the development of urbanization and the construction of smart cities, the market scale of smart light poles in China is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan. By 2021, the global market space for smart lamp posts driven by the construction of 5G base stations may reach 117.6 billion yuan.”

Overview

With the acceleration of the construction of smart city, smart lamp pole has been mentioned for many times in the past two years, especially this year, and has leaped to become a high-frequency hot word in the industry. The market is in the fast track of development, but overall, the application of smart lamp pole construction is still in the early stage of development. According to the data of the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute in August this year, the global market scale of smart light poles will exceed 50 billion yuan in 2020. Due to the development of urbanization and the construction of smart cities, the market scale of smart light poles in China is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan. By 2021, the global market space for smart lamp posts driven by the construction of 5G base stations may reach 117.6 billion yuan.

Development

Smart light pole is known as the city entrance, is a concentration of intelligent lighting, video monitoring, traffic management, environmental testing, wireless communication, information interaction, emergency for help in the integration of public infrastructure, to mount the 4G / 5G WiFi network communication base station, intelligent energy-saving lamps, intelligent security monitoring, intelligent face recognition, traffic guidance and instruction, audio and broadcast television, unmanned aerial vehicles, parking, car battery pile non-inductive payment, unmanned induction driving and other equipment.

As early as 2014, China's smart lamp pole industry has already begun to sprout and some enterprises have launched their layout. After four years of development, the industry has entered the demonstration stage in 2018. In 2020, with the help of the policy, the development of the smart lamp pole has been accelerated again and again. Since this year, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Fujian, Anhui and many other provinces have issued relevant policies to promote the construction and development of local smart lamp poles.

For example, as one of the first 5G pilot cities in China, Shenzhen has built 43,600 5G base stations by the beginning of July 2020, and is about to achieve the goal of 45,000. By the end of August, Shenzhen's 5G network has achieved high-quality and full coverage. It is planned to build 4,526 multi-functional intelligent rods in 2020, and 2,450 rods have been built by the beginning of June, ranking first in the province. According to the plan, in 2020, the total number of smart light poles in Guangzhou will be 4,238, covering 842 roads and covering an area of 3,242.89 square kilometers. By 2025, there will be about 80,000 smart lamp poles in the city, 42,000 of which will be in the downtown area.

 

Prediction

With the accelerated arrival of the 5G era, the development of the smart lamp pole market in the next few years is widely expected by taking advantage of the new infrastructure. In 2021 under the joint efforts of the government, associations, enterprises and other parties, the smart lamp pole market will also usher in a new round of acceleration. Founder Securities released "Internet of Things Series -- Eight Questions and Eight Answers to Smart Light Posts" in July 2020, pointing out that in 2020 and 2021, the total number of smart light poles around the world will reach 50,700 and 150,700. Based on the average price of 20,000 yuan per unit, the total potential market space of 547.6 billion yuan is calculated.

Dripped by the continuous advancement of smart city construction and the wave of 5G commercialization, smart lamp poles, as a natural match for 5G micro base stations, are expected to achieve breakthrough growth in the next two to three years. Under the bright and broad market prospect of smart lamp pole, it can be predicted that the market competition in this field of smart lamp pole will become increasingly fierce.
