　　Compared with the scale of the parking lot market in developed countries accounting for 1% of GDP, China may contain a trillion-level market to be tapped.

In the past 5 years, the number of new registrations of smart parking related companies reached more than 60,000.

　　Under the influence of the new crown epidemic, the public acceptance of service scenarios such as barrier-free access, unattended, and non-inductive payment is rapidly increasing, and the concept of unattended smart parking has become a "sweet and pastry" in the industry.

Compared with the scale of the parking lot market in developed countries accounting for 1% of GDP, China may contain a trillion-level market to be tapped.

　　According to the company's data, as of August 29, 2020, there are more than 730,000 related companies in the parking field, of which nearly 100,000 are smart parking related companies and nearly 90,000 are active/surviving companies.

In the past 5 years, the number of new registrations of smart parking related companies reached more than 60,000.

　　How difficult is parking?

　　According to statistics released by the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of 2019, the number of motor vehicles in the country reached 348 million, the number of cars reached 260 million, and the number of private cars exceeded 200 million for the first time, reaching 207 million.

　　"Drive for five minutes and park for half an hour." This is a big truth for car owners. The difference is often the "long" and "longer" parking time.

A considerable number of car owners in first- and second-tier cities have "experienced hundreds of battles"-this "war" refers to the "car space battle".

Many people even prefer to travel on the subway, calling it "green travel", but they are actually afraid that the car will go out and the parking spaces will be gone.

　　According to the data of the National Development and Reform Commission, the ratio of parking spaces in large cities is about 1:0.8, that of small and medium-sized cities is about 1:0.5, and that of developed countries is about 1:1.3. The gap is obvious.

If according to the international standard of 1:1.3, the shortage of parking spaces in my country may be on the order of 50 million or more.

　　Data shows that 30% of congestion problems are caused by difficulty in parking, and 48% of vehicles have to line up at the parking lot every day, especially in hospitals.

In recent years, law enforcement has been intensified, the cost of parking violations has been increased, and the scale of on-street parking has been tightened... But to implement it in place, there will be huge labor costs.

　　In addition to the lack of parking spaces, the low utilization rate of parking spaces is also an important factor that causes parking difficulties. According to the "China Smart Parking Industry Big Data Report", more than 90% of the cities in the country have parking spaces below 50%. The utilization rate of parking spaces in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou It is only between 40% and 60%, and there is still much room for improvement in the utilization rate of parking spaces.

　　On September 6, in a self-built parking lot in the Three Gorges Plaza business district in Chongqing, the boss told reporters that the two-story parking lot was built at a cost of more than 10 million yuan. Because it is located in a downtown area, the vacancy rate of parking spaces is high. Around 30%.

A parking space generates an average daily profit of 40 yuan, and 96 parking spaces can earn one million yuan a year. It seems that the profit is considerable.

Even so, even ignoring operation and maintenance and labor costs, it will take at least 10 years to pay back.

　　Why is smart parking so hot?

　　The long-standing problem of "small chaos" in the traditional parking industry makes it difficult to improve the parking experience and parking management efficiency.

The core value of smart parking is to open up parking lot information islands, guide vehicles to park to free parking spaces, and effectively improve parking space utilization.

　　The Chongqing Olympic Sports Center once faced a severe parking test. The parking lot with thousands of parking spaces was often full of cars when it came to festivals or major sports events.

The person in charge of the center said that since ETCP carried out a full set of intelligent parking upgrades for the parking lot, the parking efficiency has increased by nearly 8 times.

　　With the rapid growth of urban travel demand, the problem of insufficient supply of parking facilities has become increasingly prominent, and the call for solving the city's "difficult parking" is increasing.

Under this trend, "smart parking" has gradually developed into a "wind outlet" industry, which has triggered the deployment of related high-tech companies.

According to the Bain Parking Industry Report, in 2019, the revenue of the parking industry has reached 700 billion yuan.

Bain predicts that by 2021, the overall size of the parking market will reach trillions.

Among them, the revenue from planned parking spaces for commercial entities is 780 billion yuan, and the revenue from on-street parking spaces will exceed 200 billion yuan.

　　Li Xinan, senior director of ETCP Southwest Region, said that ETCP has reached cooperation agreements with more than 200 parking lots in Chongqing, and is committed to achieving intelligent popularization by upgrading the parking lot ecosystem, linearly raising the management level of the entire parking industry, and realizing profitability of the parking lot. Model upgrade.

It is estimated that by the end of the year, ETCP will complete the coverage of more than 500 parking lots in Chongqing and realize the operational plan of 100,000 registered car owners. By then, Smart Chongqing will be the first to be effectively implemented in the field of parking management.

　　Researcher Mo Yuanming from Chongqing Yangtze River Upstream Economic Research Institute said frankly that the urgent need to solve the problem of "difficult parking" in cities has promoted the birth of smart parking lots. User data and O2O applications have given parking lots more value, accompanied by equipment manufacturers and parking. The service end and demand end of the parking lot construction party, parking lot charging party, consumer side are in place, and the industry chain surrounding parking lot parking, mobile payment, software services and advertising services is taking shape.

　　A few days ago, Phoenix Network Singularity Research Institute and Sunshine Haitian jointly released the "2020 New Crown Epidemic Parking Management Impact and Trend Report", which shows that by 2025, my country’s parking space gap will reach 115 million, and the basic parking development base will not be less than Calculating the number of gaps, the construction of parking lots alone will create a trillion yuan market.

　　The prelude to the trillion-dollar blue ocean scramble kicked off

　　The survey shows that a car is parked 90% of the time, and it is extremely important to allocate parking resources reasonably.

Wang Jie, director of the Static Transportation Planning and Design Institute of Tsinghua Tongheng Planning Institute, believes that the use of "smart parking" technology can reduce traffic congestion by 30%, reduce invalid traffic flow by 12% to 15%, and shorten the time to find a parking space by 6 minutes to 14 minutes , Is the direction of efforts of major cities to alleviate parking difficulties.

　　On the afternoon of September 5, outside the parking building on Zhigang Avenue in Yangjiaping, Chongqing, the sign of "Unmanned Toll Parking Lot" with blue background and yellow characters along the line was particularly eye-catching.

The parking building is the country's first large-scale parking garage under the bridge that adopts a fully intelligent parking management system, managing 1,008 parking spaces.

Fast forwarding and fast exiting of vehicles and "flash payment" are its major features.

The reporter saw on the spot that there was no toll booth at the entrance.

When the vehicle arrived at the entrance, it took almost a second to lift the railing to let it go.

　　Long Gang, deputy general manager of Chongqing Changbo Smart Parking Co., Ltd., who manages the parking building, introduced that in order to promote the “smart parking” technology, this local Chongqing team developed the “Chongqing Good Parking” APP and WeChat public account for one and a half years.

　　Its system cooperates with the background Internet big data analysis to accurately guide the parking time, and has made new attempts such as sharing parking spaces and booking parking spaces.

The reverse car-finding function of the parking building makes car owners who often "get confused and can't find a car" happy.

Click on the "Chongqing Good Parking" public number, enter the license plate number, the phone will display the parking location and provide navigation routes.

After the car owner pays the fee, click the Find car button, and the navigation will lead you to find the car.

　　Mo Yuanming believes that under the national "new infrastructure" wave, traffic intelligence is an important part of a smart city, and the parking industry belongs to the urban traffic level.

At the moment, first-tier cities have begun to increase policy support and embark on a comprehensive transformation of transportation and parking lots. The value of the smart parking industry is being infinitely amplified.

　　“In the past two years, the main city has promoted the intelligent transformation of 100,000 to 300,000 parking spaces every year. It is expected that the main city’s "smart parking" system will be fully completed in 2022, and the intelligent transformation of 1 million parking spaces will be completed. The problem of "difficult parking" will be effectively alleviated." The person in charge of the Chongqing Urban and Rural Construction Committee told reporters that on the basis of vigorously pilot projects in the main urban area, the future "smart parking" management system will be further promoted throughout the city.
