With new government policies in place to support the industry in China, this year’s Parking China will return in August with a focus on the latest smart parking technologies and industry trends. Industry professionals will have a chance to seize new opportunities at the leading event for parking in China. The fair will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) from 31 August – 2 September 2022.
With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous rise of car ownership, the demand for parking is increasing in China. According to the latest figures released by the Ministry of Public Security of China, the number of motor vehicles in the country reached 395 million units in 2021, an increase of 6.32% compared to 2020. Among them, new energy vehicles reached 7.84 million units, up 59.25% year-on-year [1].
Driven by market demand, an increasing number of urban parking facilities continue to be opened, allowing the industry to further develop. However, the country still faces many parking-related issues, for instance, a shortage of supply capacity as well as insufficient management. The Chinese government is aware of these problems and has proposed a range of parking policies in recent years to overcome these challenges. In particular, a notice published last year points out that regional governments should accelerate the building and digitisation of new parking facilities [2]. Also, more charging facilities for new energy vehicles should be allocated.
The policy also encourages further developing parking technologies, and implementing smart parking services that include information inquiry, parking reservation, electronic payment and other functions. Cities and municipalities at all levels are aiming to create an urban parking system that can meet the basic needs of the public by 2025, and to upgrade to a fully supplied, intelligent, efficient and accessible parking network by 20352. This long-term goal is expected to lead to strong growth in the parking industry within the next decade, along with the emergence of additional new technologies and products.
