CIMT 2025 set a decade-high record with 310,000 $m^2$ of exhibition space. The event centered on four pillars: Smart, Automated, Digital, and Green manufacturing. Key highlights included AI-driven monitoring, process integration, and unmanned production lines. While regional differences exist in green transformation, China's market dominance continues to grow, fueled by policy support and emerging sectors like robotics and aerospace. Over 100 Taiwanese exhibitors participated, showcasing their expertise in 5-axis machining and intelligent integrated solutions.

CIMES 2024 was held in Beijing, focusing on digitalization, high-end development, and green manufacturing, with about 1,000 exhibitors and 70,000 visitors. China emphasizes precision, boosting domestic measurement equipment, while southern regions demand mid-to-high-end machines. Taiwanese brands remain favored for key components. China’s equipment renewal policy drives fierce competition, favoring compact, high-speed machines. Taiwanese manufacturers must enhance quality standards, compensation technology, and dual-axis transformation to maintain their competitive edge
