Access control-based business operations

With the rapid increase in market demand for smart buildings, factories, mines, and banks in the past three years, the industrial chain of China's security access control system products and ancillary equipment market has achieved rapid growth of 20% to 25% per year. The market size of the security access control system and its supporting (including smart card and electronic locks, etc.) market will reach 18 billion yuan; 3 billion, including 1.01 billion mobile phone IC cards, 809 million public IC cards, 298 million second-generation ID cards, 148 million campus cards, 67 million social security cards, and 77 million public transportation IC cards , 674 million other types of IC cards. By 2008, China's annual average amount of smart cards issued has accounted for 15% of the total number of cards issued worldwide. The National Gold Card Project's "2008 China RFID Development Report" released at the "2009 China International Smart Card and RFID Expo" forecast: In 2009, the scale of China's RFID market will be 7.03 billion yuan, an increase of 20.6% from 2008. At the same time, according to estimates by relevant experts, the market potential for the construction of single cards in only 1,792 colleges and universities in China is nearly 6 billion (481 private universities are not included in the statistics), and all aspects of the industry chain such as radio frequency cards and reading/writing equipment for access control card systems are included. The electronic lock, software and system integration also achieved rapid development. On the other hand, as one of the most promising information technologies in this century, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been highly valued by the global industry.

Second, the market size of the access control system

In the second half of 2008, affected by the international financial turmoil, the State Council promulgated ten measures to stimulate domestic demand. It has accelerated the development of independent innovation and structure, supported the construction of high-tech industrialization and industrial technological progress, and supported the development of the service industry by investing huge sums of money; Major infrastructure construction such as highways, airports and airports, and the construction of a number of passenger dedicated lines, coal transportation corridor projects, and western trunk railways, improving the expressway network, arranging the construction of central and western mainline airports, and regional airport construction, which greatly eased the impact of the world financial crisis on China. With the impact of the security market, the RFID industry has also increased more business opportunities. In the same period in other related fields, with the rebound of the domestic property market at the end of March 2009, the requirements of the card system for access control in smart buildings, digital communities, hospitals and other fields The main reason for the rapid growth is that the continuous construction boom in China also provides the most solid foundation for the stable development of the security market.

According to estimates, among the 100 small and medium-sized projects in China's access controller market, Chinese manufacturers account for more than 90% of the total, and among the 100 or more major projects, Chinese manufacturers have scored between 20% and 60% from 2005 to 2008. Market; due to differences in the development of North and South, and the impact of political and security risks, foreign manufacturers in the North China market share of more than 70%, followed by East China occupied 55%, South China 35% share, Huaxi accounted for 25% of the share . The difference in distribution of domestic production R&D manufacturers between North and South is mainly due to the fact that the largest security access control market in China is mainly concentrated in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places, with an early start and rapid development, with 99% of low-end market users; with the technological changes in recent years Innovation, Quality After more than 10 years of development and reform, product quality has greatly improved, and can be completely comparable with foreign brands.
