Since 2024, C-V2X has embraced a period of high-qualitydevelopment thanks to the increasing demand for in-vehicle infotainment, the rapid development of autonomous driving, andthe government's efforts behind the formulation of C-V2X-related regulations and standards. As the build-out and developmentof 5G continues, more and more car manufacturers are turning to 4G+5G dual-mode or5G network slicing to meet theneeds of high reliability and availability. According to data from the China Industry Innovation Alliance for the Intelligent andConnected Vehicles (CAICV), in 2024, the comprehensive penetration rate of C-V2X in passenger cars in China exceeded 80%and the penetration rate of 5G V2X reached 15.6% as shown in Figure 1-1. It is estimated that by 2030, the 5G module installationrate in passenger cars in China will reach 95% (based on the number of insured cars). Note:The mandatory national standard GB 45672-2025 "On-board Accident Emergency Call System" will be implementedstarting July 1, 2027. Therefore, it is anticipated that automakers will fully implement vehicle connectivity in 2027. 5G-connected Vehicles are Gaining Mainstream Traction asTechnological Maturity Advances, Fueled by the WidespreadAdoption of 5G Mobile Phones1.2 Based on the data from GSMA Intelligence,China surpassed 1 billion 5G connections in 2024,highlighting the rapid adoption of the technologysince its launch five years ago. 5G adoption in Chinawill reach 61% by the end of 2025, rising to 88% bythe end of the decade. The influence of national policy should help sustain5G’s momentum in China. The Chinese governmenthas made 5G a national priority as part of broadergoals targeting digital transformation and making theeconomy internationally competitive. Such goals aredirectly integrated into the agendas and corporatestrategies of operators and network vendors,boosting the supply side of the 5G market. The widespread adoption of 5G mobile phones has accelerated the evolution and maturity of 5G technology, increasedthe coverage of 5G networks, and enabled in-vehicle 5G communication.Since December 2020, the world's first batch ofproduction vehicle equipped with 5G communication functions officially rolled off the production line including: GAC Aion V,Rising Marvel R, BAIC Arcfoxα-T, and BYD Han; factory-installed 5G modules have become the mainstream choice for smartvehicles to build brand image. The 5G installation rate in new energy vehicle brands is significantly higher, brands such asDenza, IM Motors, Li Auto, NIO, Voyah, Xiaomi, Zeekr have all installed 5G modules by default. In terms of price distribution, 5G-connected vehicles are generally priced above 200,000 yuan. In particular, more than 50%of 5G-connected vehicles were between 200,000-300,000 yuan in 2024, which indicates that 5G technology is penetratinginto ordinary family cars. Since 2025, the integration of 5G technology into vehicles has further accelerated. BYD models pricedaround 70,000 yuan come by default with 5G, becoming the lowest-price series equipped with 5G modules. In addition, foreigncar companies like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have also installed 5G in new China-made and China-sold models launchedin 2025. 1.3Booming 5G Automotive Applications Help the C-V2X Market Grow In terms of vehicle installation rate, 4G technology lays the foundation for the rapid development of C-V2X in China, 5Gtechnology holds the key to C-V2X development with its high speed and low latency, and C-V2X technology empowers directcommunication between vehicles. The three together drive the continuous development of the V2X market. With the 5G or LTE-V2X technology, the mass-produced models have realized features such as emergency braking warning,abnormal vehicle warning, vehicle out-of-control warning, advance s
