[Introduction] Amid the global economic slowdown, Guangdong's manufacturing industry still demonstrates strong resilience. This positive momentum is inseparable from the "pyramid ecosystem" long established in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), characterized by "leading enterprises driving the chain, specialized, refined, characteristic, and innovative processes, and small and micro enterprises supporting collaboratively." Guided by this healthy industrial ecosystem model, potential market opportunities in all links of the industrial chain continue to emerge.

With the new planning of the 27th ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibitionfinalized, ITES has officially launched its market research. Recently, we conducted consecutive visits to representatives of various segmented industries and found that Guangdong's manufacturing sector remains resilient: pillar industries are maintaining stability, demand for emerging industries is showing a steady upward trend, and potential market opportunities in all links of the industrial chain are constantly surfacing. To tap into the blue ocean of segmented fields, seize opportunities in emerging industries, and participate in a professional platform deeply rooted in this ecosystem is the key step. ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition is an exhibition platform that has been rooted in the PRD for 26 years, radiating to the core industrial regions of China and Southeast Asia, and deeply connecting upstream and downstream resources. From March 31 to April 3, 2026, ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition is your effective choice for gaining insights into market trends and connecting with business opportunities at the start of the year!
