With policy support now in place, the convergence of the basic electronic components and electromechanical industries can no longer be delayed.

　　At the same time, a neighboring venue will host the “China International Symposium and Exhibition on Small Motors, Magnetic Materials, and Special‑Purpose Robotics.” The collaboration between these two platforms signals that a new trend toward integrated industrial development is taking shape.

　　Recently, the two conference organizers—China Electronics Exhibition & Information Communication Co., Ltd. and the 21st Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation—signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the “Media and Analyst Symposium on the Synergistic Development of Next-Generation Information Technology, Basic Electronic Components, and Small Motor Industries.” According to reports from China Electric Power News, this joint collaboration goes beyond a partnership between two leading exhibition platforms; it aims to advance China’s electronic information industry by establishing a platform for industrial integration, exchange, and showcasing, aligned with the goals of “Internet of Everything” and “Smart Manufacturing.”

In addition, representatives from leading industry players and numerous other corporate speakers took part in the seminar.

　　Policy support continues to be rolled out, and the convergence of the basic electronic components and electromechanical industries can no longer wait.

　　Emerging information technologies such as 5G, intelligent systems, and the Internet of Things are continuously advancing. However, China’s electronic components industry currently faces challenges: it is large in scale but lacks strength, suffers from a shortage of leading enterprises, and exhibits insufficient innovation capacity. In response to these issues, at the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Action Plan for the Development of the Basic Electronic Components Industry.” The plan sets targets to steadily expand the industry’s scale by 2023, raising total sales of electronic components to RMB 2.1 trillion and further consolidating China’s position as a major global producer of electronic components. It also aims to achieve breakthroughs in technological innovation, refine patent strategies for key products, cultivate a group of internationally competitive electronic component companies, and help 15 enterprises each attain revenues exceeding RMB 10 billion. Moreover, the plan seeks to promote differentiated applications of electronic components across priority sectors, including smart terminals, 5G, the industrial internet, data centers, and intelligent connected vehicles. Addressing emerging demands in areas such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing, the Internet of Things, new energy, and new infrastructure, the initiative will develop compact, high‑performance, highly efficient, and highly reliable electronic components urgently needed in key application fields, encouraging equipment manufacturers to adopt innovative products and accelerating the iterative upgrading of component offerings. This action plan presents unprecedented development opportunities for China’s electronic component enterprises. At the seminar, Dr. Wang Ruoda, a researcher at the Integrated Circuit Institute of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology—also one of the principal drafters of the “Action Plan for the Development of the Basic Electronic Components Industry” and a long‑time expert in electronic components, integrated circuit packaging and testing, automotive semiconductors, and critical equipment and materials—stated: “Accelerating the development of the electronic components industry, along with its key supporting materials and equipment, and enhancing the modernization of the industrial and supply chains are of great significance for fostering the growth of China’s information technology sector, driving the optimization and upgrading of the economic system, and achieving high‑quality national economic development.” Download the “Action Plan for the Development of the Basic Electronic Components Industry.”

　　In addition, the new national standard “Energy Efficiency Limit Values and Energy Efficiency Classes for Electric Motors” (GB 18613‑2020), which came into effect on June 1, explicitly stipulates that manufacturers may not produce or sell motors that fail to meet the IE3 energy efficiency threshold, and end‑users are prohibited from purchasing such non‑compliant products. This policy will have a profound impact not only on China’s motor industry but also on the rapidly developing smart, connected electromechanical products—such as widely deployed intelligent automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other types of robots, new‑energy vehicles, drones, and robotic vacuum cleaners. Moreover, this regulation presents both opportunities and challenges for the small‑motor sector, whose applications are expanding rapidly, particularly in terms of achieving higher efficiency and driving continuous innovation, while also exerting a deep influence on the development of downstream motor‑based application systems.

　　With the strong support of two major policies, the convergence of the basic electronic components and electromechanical industries is undoubtedly paving the way for innovative development in the era of the Internet of Everything and intelligent manufacturing. As China’s most influential exhibition platform in the electronic information sector—the China Electronics Show—and as Asia’s—and indeed the world’s—largest specialized event dedicated to small motors—the China (International) Small Motor Technology Symposium and Exhibition—these platforms are entrusted with the critical mission of advancing the integration of the electronic components and electromechanical industries. He Qionghua, Deputy General Manager of China Electronics Fair & Information Communication Co., Ltd., stated: “At present, China’s electronic information industry has grown into a trillion‑yuan‑scale sector. The China Electronics Show, rooted in its role as a professional exchange platform for the basic electronic components industry, is expanding its scope along three dimensions to support the development of China’s electronic information industry. First, it comprehensively showcases innovations across the basic electronic components field to accelerate industry growth; second, it continuously broadens the industrial ecosystem, building richer supply chains and distribution channels to ensure the stable development of the electronic information manufacturing sector; and third, it fosters cross‑industry collaborations tailored to the needs of both the industry and individual enterprises, driving innovation. Our strategic partnership with the Small Motor Technology Conference & Exhibition (SMTCE) is precisely aimed at meeting the demands of numerous smart, connected electromechanical systems.”

　　Chen Bao, Director of the International Business Department at the 21st Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, stated: “We are delighted to have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the China Electronic Show. This partnership extends beyond collaboration between two leading industry exhibitions; it stems from the needs of China’s electronic information sector—particularly the foundational electronic components and small motor industries. The advent of the Internet of Everything and smart manufacturing has generated strong demand for joint efforts, which have already been validated in numerous applications, including smart vehicles, drones, robotic vacuum cleaners, AGVs, and other types of robots. I am confident that this naturally evolving collaboration will catalyze a wave of groundbreaking innovations and empower innovative enterprises to uncover new blue‑ocean opportunities.”

　　The China Electronics Show has been successfully held for 97 sessions. This year’s event features a rich array of supporting activities, creating a multi‑dimensional industry platform that integrates exhibitions, competitions, awards, and conferences. In addition to the 30,000-square-meter exhibition space, the show includes a welding competition, award ceremonies recognizing excellence in electronic components and technological innovation, as well as on‑site launches of new products and cutting‑edge technologies. Concurrent with the exhibition, more than thirty specialized industry conferences will be held, covering topics such as component‑related forums, IoT‑focused forums, automotive electronics events, smart manufacturing and industrial Internet forums, and specialized component series forums.
