Manufacturing Digitalization Expo 2025 is planned to cover an exhibition area of 24,000 square meters, aiming to create a comprehensive platform that integrates display, communication, and trade for the supply and demand sides of global manufacturing digitalization. More than 600 exhibitors from fields such as digital infrastructure, computing infrastructure, industrial IOT, industrial metaverse, automation/robotics/AI, additive manufacturing, industrial software/network security, as well as professional services for digital transformation, will gather to showcase the technologies, products, solutions, and services needed at every stage of manufacturing digitalization. It is expected that over 15,000 decision-makers, responsible persons, and participants from the automotive, electronics, petrochemical, machinery, food and drink, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries will visit the exhibition.

As the engine of global manufacturing, China, with its status as the world's factory, plays a pivotal role in the global economic landscape. However, China's manufacturing industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. At this critical moment, achieving deep integration of digital technology and the real economy through digital transformation has undoubtedly become a self-rescue action for a manufacturing powerhouse.

Digital transformation is not only an inevitable choice for promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry but also a core driving force for accelerating the cultivation and development of new quality productivity. In this process, there are countless possibilities with unlimited potential, as well as the firm determination of China's manufacturing industry to stand out in global competition.

The digital transformation of the manufacturing industry is an extremely challenging systematic project, which requires the coordination of industrial practice and technological innovation, as well as the interaction between management ideas and cutting-edge technologies.

Based on the market research conducted by Digital Events in the early stages, through visits and analysis of the needs of a large number of potential exhibitors and visitors, we can deeply feel their pain points and needs, and find that the existing marketing channels cannot effectively meet the value demands of potential exhibitors and visitors. Therefore, the value proposition of Manufacturing Digitalization Expo 2025 is to provide a platform for suppliers of manufacturing digital solutions that can efficiently generate sales leads, expand market awareness, and build an ecosystem, reaching decision makers, people in charge, and participants in the digital construction process in a one-stop manner. It showcases cutting-edge digital technology solutions for various stages of manufacturing to meet the needs of enterprises for full-scenario digital construction, and achieves the purpose of procurement, learning, and sharing in a one-stop manner. 

The uniqueness of the Manufacturing Digitalizaiton Expo lies first in the fact that it is currently the only exhibition focusing on the target market segment of manufacturing digital construction.

Secondly, the Expo is not just a 3-day exhibition, but also a year-round market solution that includes six major forums held before the exhibition, targeting the automotive, petrochemical, electronics, food and drink, pharmaceutical, and machinery manufacturing industries; seven major demand-side market research reports, with the first "Demand Side Market Research Report on Manufacturing Digitalization in Yangtze River Delta" having been released with great fanfare; and eight concurrent events during the expo, including World CDO Conference, World Manufacturing Digitalization Conference, Manufacturing Digital Transformation Summit, the sharing of the best cases of digital construction, business matching, new product launch, award dinner, and the industry leader thinking tank.

The " Demand Side Market Research Report on Manufacturing Digitalization in Yangtze River Delta " points out that the overall manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region is large, has a good foundation, and has a high degree of industrial aggregation. There are about 140,000 "above-scale enterprises" (accounting for 32% of the country), with a business income of 34.5 trillion yuan (accounting for 26% of the country). The market size of manufacturing digitalization in 2023 reached 280 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 800 billion yuan by 2030, with an average compound growth rate of over 15%.

Mr. Jor Zhou, the founder and CEO of Digital Events, said: "Manufacturing Digitalization Expo will help Shanghai to become a highland of 'global manufacturing digital technology', promote the digital transformation and construction of the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta and even the whole country, and actively and quickly cooperate with various digital technology suppliers, manufacturing industry associations, and industrial clusters. Walk into the exhibitors and audiences we serve, and give full play to the role of the Expo in promoting the development of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry."
