The 104th China Electronics Fair is on the verge of its grand opening
The 104th China Electronics Fair is on the verge of its grand opening, jointly mapping out a new blueprint for the electronic information industry.
Towards the end of 2024, the electronic information industry has been advancing amidst fluctuations and oscillations. With the conclusion of the new round of elections across the ocean, 2025 is bound to present a complex scenario interwoven with certainty and uncertainty. Faced with these risks and challenges, the entire electronic information industry and various enterprises are actively seeking response strategies. Against this backdrop, the 104th China Electronics Fair solemnly commences at Halls E2 and E3 of Shanghai New International Expo Center from November 18th to 20th, 2024, assembling numerous renowned manufacturers and industry experts to jointly display the latest achievements and envision the future of the industry.
As the most prestigious annual event not only in Shanghai but throughout the entire industry, the 104th China Electronics Fair has attracted a substantial number of exhibitors and professional visitors. During the fair, major manufacturers have respectively showcased their latest technologies and products in domains such as semiconductors, electronic components, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics. Simultaneously, a multitude of industry luminaries have congregated to share cutting-edge trends and insightful perspectives, and collectively deliberate on the future development path of the electronic information industry.
Data from the General Administration of Customs indicates that in the first half of 2024, the export volume of integrated circuits in China surpassed 500 billion yuan, registering a year-on-year growth of 25.7%. In the aspect of chips above 7nm, China has already established a complete industrial chain and supporting facilities, with the self-sufficiency rate of the chip industry escalating from less than 10% a decade ago to 25% at present. This vigorous growth momentum not only reflects the continuous expansion of domestic industrial strength but also lays a solid foundation for the future development of the electronic information industry.
Driven by the strength of semiconductor chips, industries such as electronic components, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics have also sustained vigorous export growth. Particularly, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have emerged as new highlights of China's exports, with markets spanning over 200 countries and regions worldwide. Nevertheless, in the face of the increasingly unfriendly political atmosphere and economic policies towards Chinese products in the US and European markets, domestic enterprises are actively exploring new export destinations and new routes for expanding the domestic market.
At this electronics fair, in addition to presenting the latest technologies and products, multiple high-level forums and seminars have also been organized. Among them, "Domestic Substitution and Autonomous Control" has become a hotly debated topic. Confronted with challenges such as "decoupling and disconnection" in the global electronic information industrial chain and supply chain, domestic enterprises are intensively enhancing their internal capabilities and upgrading the level of autonomous control technologies. A large number of high-quality exhibitors have gathered at the fair, covering fields such as semiconductor equipment and core components, high-end components, SMT electronic manufacturing, special electronics, automotive electronics, etc., offering a rich array of choices to visitors.
Furthermore, the fair has also hosted multiple themed forums and competitions, including the 2024 New Progress of Domestic Semiconductor Equipment and Core Components Forum and the 2024 Shanghai SIP System-Level Packaging Technology Summit. These activities not only provide a platform for exhibitors and visitors to exchange and learn but also infuse new vitality into the innovation and development within the industry.
In conclusion, the successful hosting of the 104th China Electronics Fair not only showcases the latest achievements and cutting-edge trends of the electronic information industry but also offers a precious opportunity for professionals within and outside the industry to deliberate on development strategies and jointly draw the industry blueprint. In the future development, the electronic information industry will continue to maintain a strong growth momentum and make greater contributions to China's economic development and social progress.
