【Introduction】 Southern China Manufacturing、Systemic Upgrading
While external challenges persist, the pulse of manufacturing in Southern China beats stronger than ever. The clear demand for industrial upgrading is converging into an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
The 2026 ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition and High-End Equipment Industry Cluster Show is more than a technology showcase; it is your strategic ground to capture market growth in Southern China and connect with high-value buyers. 1,300+ exhibitors have already confirmed their participation, 15,000+ professional visitors have pre-registered, and prime booth locations are selling out rapidly.
Southern China Manufacturing: Two Clear Signals of Growth
The Southern China market, with its solid industrial foundation and vibrant innovation ecosystem, demonstrates remarkable growth resilience. During our industry chain visits, the ITES team identified clear signals:
Steel-shell batteries, favored for higher safety and energy density, are becoming the new choice for premium smartphones. Their novel manufacturing processes require a comprehensive supply chain update of automated production lines and packaging equipment.
The ultra-thin VC vapor chamber (liquid cooling heat pipe) first adopted in the iPhone 17 Pro series involves precise water injection, degassing, and sealing processes, forcing core component suppliers to upgrade to high-precision automated lines.
AI glasses demand special customization for key components like optical modules and batteries due to lightweight and high-performance requirements. For instance, writing assembly step precision into part control standards is pushing OEMs to overcome process challenges and renovate production lines.

Furthermore, according to economic data for Jan-Feb 2025 released by the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics, Guangdong's industrial economy shows strong recovery and development momentum across multiple advanced manufacturing sectors.

These insights from factories, labs, and the market frontlines indicate growth is occurring in two key dimensions:

Explosive Iteration in Emerging Sectors:Product innovation in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, semiconductors, AI computing, and embodied intelligence is driving the renewal of upstream core components and high-end equipment.The evolution of solid-state battery technology is creating entirely new demand for mid-to-back-end manufacturing equipment.Rising AI computing power is turning liquid cooling into a multi-billion-dollar market, surging demand for precision piping and module processing.The Pearl River Delta hosts over half of China's humanoid robot supply chain companies. Their demand for mass-producing joint modules is directly defining the performance standards for the next generation of precision reducers and servo motors.
Systemic Upgrading of Traditional Advantageous Industries:The push for high-end domestic substitution in equipment manufacturing is accelerating. Traditional factories urgently need intelligent and green transformation.The automotive and parts industry continues to release upgrade demands in areas like vehicle lightweighting and onboard intelligence.Increasing requirements for product aesthetics are forcing upgrades in precision inspection technologies and efficiency.
Real market demand has not disappeared: it has become more precise and demanding. Companies capable of providing core technologies, advanced processes, and high-quality, cost-effective solutions are facing an unprecedented market window. To establish your presence in this new blue ocean of Southern China manufacturing, the ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition is your premier platform.
Where the Wind Blows: Why Have 1300+ Companies Already Secured Their Spot at 2026 ITES?
With clear industry opportunities and market demand, interest in the 2026 ITES—from both exhibitors and visitors—has been soaring. As 1,300+ exhibitors confirm their booths, premium spaces are becoming increasingly scarce. Booth allocation operates on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Acting now is crucial to secure the best exposure and maximize your ROI.
1,300+ Exhibitors Have Joined—Industry Consensus Anchored at ITES
To date, 1,300+ quality exhibitors have confirmed their participation in the 2026 ITES. Founded in 2000, the ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition has been recognized as a "Shenzhen Brand Exhibition" for fourteen consecutive years. It is also the official exhibition for Shenzhen's "20+8" high-end equipment industry cluster and one of China's largest-scale industrial exhibitions.
The exhibition focuses on showcasing high-end equipment, precision manufacturing, advanced technologies, and smart manufacturing. It is a leading event in Southern China for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of domestic and international advanced machinery. Here, your technology will be evaluated within real industrial chain scenarios, offering connection depth and breadth far beyond ordinary trade shows.

15,000+ Visitors Pre-Registered—A Gathering of High-Value Buyers
Exhibitor enthusiasm is matched by proactive buyers. Since visitor registration opened in mid-November, over 15,000 professional visitors have already pre-registered. This audience includes executives, purchasing decision-makers, and technical leads from leading companies in electronics manufacturing, automotive, semiconductor, embodied intelligence, aerospace, and more. They will arrive with clear annual procurement plans and specific technical upgrade challenges.
