As a cornerstone of the information technology industry, the semiconductor industry is driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs and industrial transformation. The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) predicts that the global semiconductor market size will reach USD 700.9 billion in 2025, with a year-on-year growth of 11.2%. Looking ahead to 2026, the global semiconductor market size is expected to rise by 8.5% to USD 760.7 billion.

With the surge of AI large models, new energy vehicles and 6G technology, the global demand for high-performance and high-power density semiconductors has accelerated. To break through physical limits and cost bottlenecks, the industry is transforming towards “system integration + material innovation”, making progress in the three major fields of materials, equipment and processes. Chiplet packaging, third-generation semiconductors and high-end testing equipment have become core directions.

Looking ahead, the semiconductor industry will move away from single-point technology competition and shift towards full-chain collaborative innovation in materials, equipment and processes, building a more resilient industrial ecosystem in response to geopolitical challenges.

The “Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Forum” will gather leading enterprises and experts from the semiconductor industry to share insights into market trends and technological advancements. The forum will delve into key topics such as cutting-edge semiconductor materials, equipment, and process technologies – inspiring collaboration and strengthening the foundation for a more resilient and future-ready semiconductor industry.
