2026 China (Dongguan) Industrial Equipment Expo

The global manufacturing industry is entering a new wave of transformation, with new-generation information technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things rapidly merging into the industrial sector. The center of the global economy is moving to the east, accelerating the transfer of technology, manufacturing, capital, and talent, further reshaping the world landscape and leading to a new economic order. The next 5 to 10 years will still be a golden period for China's rapid development, especially as the economy transitions from fast growth to high-quality development. China's manufacturing sector is primarily focusing on intelligent manufacturing, accelerating digital, networked, and intelligent progress, promoting the change from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China".

During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China aims to establish a new development pattern dominated by domestic circulation, complemented by mutual reinforcement between domestic and international circulations, which will have a significant impact on future economic operations. Dongguan, once known as the world's factory, is transforming into an international "smart manufacturing center" and a technology innovation hub, optimizing its industrial development model, enhancing autonomy, and gradually elevating its regional economic status.

In 2022, Dongguan entered a new track of "Double Tens". The city remains firmly rooted in advanced manufacturing, stabilizing the proportion of the manufacturing sector while promoting a transformation towards Dongguan creation, Dongguan smart manufacturing, and Dongguan branding. Dongguan is strategically located in the central area of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Technology Innovation Economic Belt, surrounded by two first-tier cities, making it a unique new first-tier city. In 2021, Dongguan successfully joined the "Trillion GDP Club" with a total GDP of 10,855.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.2%, and an average growth of 4.6% over two years.
