Your Destination to Manufacturing Digitalization
Expo Introduction
As a global factory, the Chinese manufacturing industry has an economy-driven foundation function and is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Achieving the integration of digital technology and the real economy through digital transformation is a self-help for manufacturing powers, and it is also a necessary topic for promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
In the process of digital transformation, the manufacturing industry faces difficulties in self-awareness, promotion, and implementation due to the asymmetry of supply and demand information, which is one of the key reasons. Enterprises find it difficult to accurately position and communicate their transformation needs, while suppliers struggle to provide tangible results and demonstrate differentiation, leading to difficulties in selecting solutions.
Manufacturing Digitalization Expo (Shanghai), abbreviated as the 'MD Expo', invited suppliers of products, technology, system solutions and service for the digitalization of the manufacturing industry, as well as decision makers, people in charge and participants in the digitalization process of enterprises to meet in Shanghai in March 2025 — 'Showcase a trillion new blue ocean, see cutting-edge technology, promote digital transformation, and improve new-quality productivity'.
Market Forecast
Manufacturing digitalization has opened up a trillion new blue ocean for suppliers of digital products, technology, system solutions and service. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global manufacturing digitalization market is expected to reach RMB 2.7 trillion in 2024, and the global market size will reach RMB 6.3 trillion by 2029, with a compound average growth rate of 18%. Among them, the Asia-Pacific market is the region with the fastest growth rate and the largest market size.
China's manufacturing industry ranks first in the world, and digitalization has been initially integrated into the basic manufacturing sector. By the end of 2023, China's manufacturing digitalization market reached RMB 1 trillion, with a penetration ratio of only 22%, and there is huge space for growth.
At the beginning of 2024, Digital Events in conjunction with Ipsos, one of the world's largest market research and consulting firms, conducted a demand-side research on China's manufacturing digitalization market, which shows that the market size of China's manufacturing digitalization will reach RMB 1.1 trillion in 2024. Under the active promotion of national policies, the competitive pressure faced by enterprises, and the influence of the overall industrial chain digitalization and upgrading, the overall market size of China's manufacturing digitalization will maintain strong growth, and is expected to reach RMB 2.3 trillion in 2029, with a CAGR of 16%.
