China has established a complete BeiDou industrial chain and supply chain, covering chips, modules, antennas, terminals, system integration and application services, , according to the report. 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 more than 2.2 billion BeiDou-capable devices in use across the country.
