Exhibitor Numbers and Exhibition Area Set New Records
This year, the CSEAC exhibition achieved a historic breakthrough in scale. With five major exhibition zones (Wafer Manufacturing, Packaging and Testing Equipment, Materials, Core Components, and Comprehensive Zones) spanning six halls, the total exhibition area exceeded 60,000 square meters. The number of exhibiting companies increased to over 800, doubling compared to the previous event, and the exhibition area was nearly three times larger than before.
The growth in exhibition data fully reflects both the recognition and the eager anticipation for the “Semiconductor Equipment Annual Conference” within the industry and beyond. It also demonstrates that the number of semiconductor equipment manufacturers is gradually expanding, with increasing market demand and a growing number of exhibiting companies that have the capability, products, and market needs to participate.
At the exhibition site, innovative achievements and cutting-edge products were in the spotlight, showcasing China’s semiconductor companies’ unwavering commitment and outstanding accomplishments in the pursuit of high-level technological independence and self-reliance. Leading companies in the industry, such as Northern HuaChuang, SMIC, MicroTech, Tuojing Technology, and Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment, along with many other top-tier companies, made their appearances.
Significant Increase in International Participation, Expanding Global Vision
The conference attracted participants from 32 countries and regions worldwide. At the exhibition site, internationally renowned companies like BOSCH, SIEMENS, ZEISS, KEYENCE, Leica Microsystems, RORZE, MARPOSS, Azbil, Glint Materials, and SUSS made their appearances. This natural convergence of market forces highlights the urgent need for “re-globalization” of the semiconductor supply chain and the restructuring and cooperation of the industry chain.
CSEAC will act as a driver in this process, adhering to an open, inclusive, and win-win philosophy, and looks forward to working hand in hand with more global manufacturers and partners to explore new paths for semiconductor industry development, contributing wisdom and strength to building a closer, more efficient, and sustainable industrial ecosystem.
Development Blueprint Unfolding, “Equipment” Welcomes a New Growth Cycle
The semiconductor market is undergoing a new growth cycle, with increasing market demand. Equipment companies are expected to accelerate market penetration, bringing significant order growth. Domestic equipment enterprises may enter a phase of rapid growth.
As a bridge to promote industrial progress, this exhibition further facilitated and deepened industry exchanges and cooperation. Through exhibitions and forum discussions, the event built a vast platform for information sharing and mutual cooperation, promoting supply-demand matching, collaboration, and joint breakthroughs, weaving a tightly connected “many-to-many” industrial chain ecosystem, and collaboratively building a complete and resilient industry chain.
Government leaders at all levels and industry leaders paid great attention to and supported the exhibition. Zhao Jianjun, the Mayor of Wuxi, and other relevant leaders visited and highly praised the exhibition.
