SEMICON China 2025, the world's premier annual semiconductor industry event, was held in Shanghai from March 26th to 28th. Yantai Wanhua Electronic Materials, a comprehensive electronic gas service provider, made a strong appearance with its cutting-edge technologies and products, exhibiting alongside over 1,400 companies from the entire global semiconductor industry chain, including chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment, materials, photovoltaics, and displays, jointly painting a new industrial landscape of "Cross-border Globalization, Connected Chips".
Currently, the semiconductor industry is at a crossroads, driven by both technological innovation and market demand. According to a report by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market reached $628 billion in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 19.1%. SEMI data predicts that global semiconductor sales will see double-digit growth in 2025 and are expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030. China has been the world's largest market for semiconductor equipment for five consecutive years, with the explosive growth of generative AI, new energy vehicles, the Internet of Things, and 5G/6G technologies driving a continuous increase in semiconductor demand.
As an upstream company in the semiconductor industry chain, Yantai Wanhua Electronic Materials has deep expertise in electronic specialty gases, closely aligning with semiconductor manufacturing process requirements. It improves the quality of miniaturized processes, innovates purification technologies, enhances high-purity gas analysis and detection capabilities, and improves product purity and stability, helping chip manufacturing advance to higher-level processes. Chen Gangjun, General Manager of Yantai Wanhua Electronic Materials, stated, "Against the backdrop of accelerated localization in the semiconductor industry, we will deepen our cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to help customers overcome technological bottlenecks and jointly seize new opportunities in the trillion-dollar market."
In the future, Yantai Wanhua Electronic Materials will continue to promote the import substitution and localization of its full range of electronic specialty gases, continuously expand its bulk gas product operations, provide global customers with more competitive products and comprehensive solutions, and contribute to empowering China's new quality productivity!
