Exhibition Overview
This year's event brought together over 1,400 global exhibitors, with international brands accounting for 42%, spanning more than 20 countries and regions including Germany, the U.S., and Japan. The exhibition attracted over 80,000 professional attendees, marking a 15% increase in scale compared to the previous edition. Leading global enterprises from Europe, the U.S., and Asia—such as IPG, Coherent, and nLIGHT—showcased their latest technologies, while domestic leaders like Raycus and Maxphotonics highlighted China’s technological breakthroughs, underscoring the event’s role as the Asia-Pacific region’s core platform for photonics innovation.

Key Highlights

1. ​Accelerated Localization of High-End Core Components: The specialty optical fibers and laser zones drew significant attention. Overseas companies emphasized cutting-edge products like high-power-resistant fibers (>50kW) and ultra-narrow-linewidth lasers. Domestic manufacturers achieved substitution in cost-effective mid-to-low-power segments, but high-precision sensors and narrow-pulse lasers for wind measurement radar remain import-dependent.
2. ​Emerging Cross-Industry Innovations: Laser sensing integrated with AI and IoT solutions surged, exemplified by real-time LiDAR point-cloud processing systems for autonomous vehicles and laser inspection solutions for new energy battery electrodes.

Industry Trends

1. ​Technology-Driven Evolution: Laser components are advancing toward ultra-short pulses (femtosecond-level) and intelligence (embedded AI diagnostic modules). High-temperature-resistant fiber materials (1,200°C+) have become a competitive battleground.
2. ​Expanding Applications: The global laser wind measurement radar market is growing at a CAGR exceeding 18%, driven by demand in wind energy and aviation sectors. Imported high-reliability fiber components dominate 65% of this segment.
3. ​Green and Smart Manufacturing: EU regulations are pushing laser energy efficiency standards higher, making modular designs and recyclable specialty fibers critical topics in supply chain innovation.

Conclusion
The event reinforced China’s photonics market dynamics of "medium-end substitution and high-end dependency." Import component suppliers must enhance customized services and build technical barriers to capture growth opportunities in new energy and advanced manufacturing sectors.
