China Smart Cities Market by ICT Components (Hardware, Software, Services), Segments (Smart Infrastructure, Smart Transportation, Video), Market Overview, Trends, Vendor Ecosystem Analysis, and Smart Cities Initiatives - Forecast to 2023
[163 Pages Report] The China smart cities market is projected to reach USD 59.9 billion by 2023 from USD 30.4 billion in 2018, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in this market is driven by the increase in population, the need for rapid urbanization, and governments investments and policies to speed up the successful implementation and development of smart cities projects.
The video segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023
China is taking efforts to improve the surveillance of its people by bringing in capabilities, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), and facial and gait recognition. The video camera segment in China is annually growing with a rate of 18.1%. China is more focused on surveillance systems that connect security cameras nationwide via the cloud to a database of every person’s facial ID profile and a file of their personal details. Hangzhou-based Hikvision, a video surveillance company, possess 21.4% of world’s market share of CCTV cameras and video surveillance equipment. The Chinese government owns a 42% stake of Hikvision. In 2015, the Ministry of Public Security launched a project, aiming to establish a giant facial recognition database to identify any citizen within seconds; the project is still under the development phase. It targets to achieve an accuracy rate of 90% but faces formidable technological hurdles. The project aims to identify any one of its 1.3 billion citizens within 3 seconds. The country is more focused on real-time analysis of surveillance data using sensor systems to improve the public system and the security.
Below mentioned are the major trends in Video segment:
Smart Responders
Panoramic-View Body Cameras with Inbuilt Facial Recognition: China is taking efforts to identify wanted suspects in real-time. For that, police officers across China will be equipped with panoramic-view body cameras that come loaded with facial and gesture recognition technology. Beijing-based Nebula Science and Technology have developed the surround-body camera with inbuilt facial recognition technology that enables cops to identify suspects and ensure complete video evidence of incidence. The camera can capture 720-degree (fish-eye-like panoramic views), high-definition footage and has gesture recognition capability. It is estimated that 3,000 and 4,000 police officers in China are currently equipped with its body cameras. The device is equipped with 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, connected to a central database containing identification photos of Chinese citizens.
City Surveillance
Facial Recognition Cameras: A school in eastern China installed cameras to monitor students’ facial expressions and attentiveness in class. The cameras will act as a part of school’s “Smart Classroom Behaviour Management System”, providing real-time information of the students to their teachers.
Shenzhen has expanded its traffic surveillance programme by installing facial recognition cameras to identify drivers violating the traffic rules such as driving without valid license. The cameras are able to provide an image of not only number plate but also the driver’s face.
Facial Recognition Database
China is building the giant facial recognition database with the power of identifying any one of its 1.3 billion citizens within 3 seconds.
Immigration/Border Control and Criminal Identification
Facial Recognition System: The system has been installed at Hong Kong-Shenzhen border to accelerate custom checks on the border that consists 6,40,000 crossings every day. It checks visitors’ appearances against a database of faces and travel information and alerts customs officials if found suspicious.
Fingerprint matching, facial recognition, and thermal-scanning technology: The technology is being tested at the border crossing of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The system is based on AI technology and is able to complete immigration clearance in under a second with up to 99.5% accuracy. The high-resolution cameras, fingerprint matching, and thermal-scanning technology have been deployed for one immigration lane at border control.
