Zhang Quande, Secretary General of China’s Association of Global Navigation System Applications and Location-based Services, said at a conference in Shenzhen on April 14, that China's home developed Beidou navigation system will generate a services market of over US$ 298 billion by 2020. Shenzhen Economic Daily quoted him as saying "It will enter a fast growing period in the coming three years". China announced in December that Beidou would roll out worldwide service ahead of schedule in 2020, after launching 19 positioning satellites in 2018 that were able to provide basic coverage. 12 more are planned by 2020.
