SHANGHAI — March 14, 2016 — Over 50,000 attendees are expected at SEMICON China 2016 which opens tomorrow at Shanghai New International Expo Centre.  SEMICON China (March 15-17) offers the latest in technology and innovation for the electronics industry. FPD China and LED China are also co-located with SEMICON China, leveraging opportunities in these related and adjacent markets. Featuring more than 1,000 exhibitors occupying nearly 3,000 booths, SEMICON China is one of the largest expositions in the world.

In 2016, semiconductor fab equipment spending in China is expected to be US$5.8 billion, 16 percent above 2015 spending. In 2016, total spending on semiconductor materials in China is projected to be $6.3 billion, with China representing the highest growth rate at 4 percent of all the regions tracked by SEMI. The global industry is watching China’s bold industry investment policy closely, and looking for the implementation with its significant potential impact on the global semiconductor manufacturing supply chain.  The policies represent major opportunities both for China and global semiconductor supply chain companies who understand and have the ambition to play in the new ecosystem.

Highlights at SEMICON China include:

• Keynotes: China Semiconductor Industry Association, SMIC, China National IC Industry Investment Fund, TSMC, Applied Materials, Amkor Technology, TEL, STATS ChipPAC (a JCET Company), and Lam Research
