China (Shanghai) International Semiconductor Equipment Exhibition NEPCON

The Exhibition Value of NEPCON China (China International Electronic Production Equipment Exhibition)

• A Long‑Standing, Widely Influential Professional Event in China’s Electronics Manufacturing Sector: Since its inaugural edition in Shanghai in 1985, NEPCON China has been successfully held for more than thirty sessions, establishing itself as one of the largest and most established trade and procurement platforms in the fields of surface mount technology and electronic manufacturing automation. Co‑organized by the Electronic Information Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Reed Exhibitions, the event is widely recognized within the industry as a leading indicator of China’s electronics manufacturing development and a pivotal gateway for global electronic production equipment entering the Asian market.
• A One‑Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industry Chain: The exhibition encompasses the full spectrum of the electronics manufacturing value chain, including SMT surface mounting, soldering and dispensing/coating, testing and measurement, semiconductor packaging and testing, electronic materials, smart factory and automation technologies, and electronic manufacturing services. From printing, component placement, soldering, and inspection to rework, and from traditional electronics manufacturing to cutting‑edge applications such as automotive electronics, semiconductors, new energy, artificial intelligence, and humanoid robotics, exhibitors can seamlessly connect with their target audiences—whether for technology demonstrations, brand exposure, or business negotiations.
• Precise Access to Global Core Buyers and Decision‑Makers in Electronics Manufacturing: The event attracts professional buyers from 57 countries and regions, including Japan, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond. The last edition drew nearly 1,000 overseas buyers, with over 45,000 professional visitors. Attendees span procurement decision‑makers and technical leaders across EMS/OEM/ODM, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communications electronics, industrial control, medical electronics, and other application areas, as well as key purchasing executives from OSAT companies. Exhibitors gain direct access to the core customer base of the global electronics manufacturing supply chain, enabling efficient business matchmaking and market expansion.
• Unique Value for Chinese Enterprises: A Strategic Engine for Showcasing Indigenous Technologies and Expanding into Global Markets: As the world’s largest producer of electronic products, China’s electronics manufacturing sector is currently undergoing a critical transition—from “scale expansion” to “intelligent manufacturing.” NEPCON China serves as a central platform for Chinese manufacturers to showcase proprietary technologies, engage with international clients, and enhance brand visibility. The exhibition brings together over 20 globally renowned original equipment manufacturers, including YAMAHA, Hanwha, BTU, ASYS, Schunk, Universal Robots, Fanuc, Parmi, Viscom, and ViTrox, alongside leading domestic players such as Nitto Denko, Kaco, Kaige, Silicore, and Haimu Xing. With international giants and homegrown brands competing side by side, the show vividly highlights both the technological sophistication and competitive dynamics of the electronics manufacturing industry.
• A Hub for Technological Innovation and Cutting‑Edge Applications: At the exhibition, hot topics include core components of humanoid robots, disassembly of automotive electronics and low‑altitude aerial vehicles, advanced semiconductor packaging, and AI‑driven intelligent manufacturing. For the first time at the 2025 edition, a dedicated “Humanoid Robot Core Component Disassembly Zone” will be established, showcasing Unitree G1, Tianlian T1 Pro, Zhiyuan’s six major humanoid robots, along with more than 35 core components. Meanwhile, the Automotive Electronics & Low‑Altitude Flight Core Component Disassembly Zone will feature three thematic experience areas—smart sensing, low‑altitude flight, and intelligent cockpits—displaying over 20 core components, with Zeekr 007GT making its debut on the show floor. Upgraded semiconductor packaging and testing lines will present state‑of‑the‑art equipment, such as fully automated nano‑silver sintering furnaces, fully automated coarse wire bonding machines, and ultrasonic scanning microscopes. These cutting‑edge displays provide exhibitors with an invaluable window into industry trends and opportunities to seize technological leadership.
• In‑Depth Connections through High‑Profile Forums and Industry Resources: Concurrent with the exhibition, more than 20 specialized conferences will take place, including the SMTA East China High‑Tech Series, the AI‑Empowered Electronics Manufacturing Technology Summit, the Intelligent Automotive Domain Control and LiDAR Innovation Manufacturing Forum, and the Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Technology and Applications Conference. Prominent speakers from institutions such as the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, IBM, Lenovo, SAIC Group, and Hesai Technology will offer in‑depth insights into AI trends, automotive electronics applications, and international cooperation opportunities. Exhibitors can promptly access critical information on industry policies, technical standards, and market trends.
• An International Platform for Southeast Asian Market Expansion: The exhibition features a special “National Day” program, bringing together 50 Vietnamese local manufacturers and 20 Thai local manufacturers. Through technical seminars, business matchmaking, and on‑site factory visits, participants gain deep insights into regional needs and investment opportunities. Over 20 Thai enterprises and industry associations—including the Thai Subcontracting Promotion Association and TKC Progress—will convene during Thailand Day events, providing strategic pathways for exhibitors seeking to expand into the Southeast Asian market.
• Shanghai’s Geographical and Industrial Advantages: As China’s economic hub and a center of technological innovation, Shanghai boasts the nation’s most comprehensive exhibition infrastructure and a highly convenient global transportation network.
