More Highlights: Optical Modules + Embodied Intelligence + Automotive Electronics – Three Major Features Land in Shenzhen

Ø  Highlight 1

800G/1.6T high‑speed optical modules are reshaping AI computing networks. Lightcounting predicts that the global optical module market will reach USD 28‑30 billion in 2026, driven by the "East‑to‑West Computing" initiative and domestic large models. China's market growth leads the world at 30‑35%, with 800G maintaining steady growth and 1.6T becoming the new engine. In response, NEPCON ASIA 2026 will launch a brand‑new "Live Process Demo + Industry Forum + Precision Business Matching" three‑in‑one Optical Module Manufacturing Process Demonstration Zone, focusing on the 800G/1.6T/3.2T high‑speed optical module track. It will cover three key processes: COB packaging, module assembly, and test & burn‑in, showcasing dedicated equipment, core materials, and full‑line mass‑production solutions to help companies enter this high‑growth segment and optimize optical module production and management. Concurrently, the 2026 Optical Communications Advanced Manufacturing Technology Innovation Summit will feature in‑depth discussions on industry trends, process bottlenecks, technology roadmaps, domestic substitution, and commercialization, with representatives from leading module manufacturers, equipment/material suppliers, and optical chip companies sharing industrial insights and solutions.

Ø  Highlight 2

In recent years, embodied intelligence has become the centerpiece of future industries. IDC predicts that China's embodied intelligence robotics market will exceed USD 11 billion. Rapid growth in robotics technology is accelerating deep applications in electronics, logistics, and automotive sectors. As one of the co‑located shows, ROBOTECH 2026 Intelligent Robotics Expo comprehensively displays the robot supply chain and robot OEM products, helping companies accelerate industrial scenario deployment and optimize production line management. The concurrent 2026 Embodied Intelligence Robotics Industry Development Conference will invite industry experts and scholars to delve into technological innovation and manufacturing processes, discussing new processes for robot bodies, motion control, and core components, and sharing breakthroughs and scenario implementations of embodied robots in electronics manufacturing.
