Electronic chemicals sit at the highest technical barrier within high-end fine chemicals. They are not only the critical base materials underpinning semiconductors, new energy, and AI computing — they are also a core lever for China's chemical industry to upgrade from bulk chemicals to high-end fine chemicals, and to keep the whole supply chain self-controlled. China's domestic electronic chemicals market is projected to surpass RMB 180 billion in 2027; nine ministries including MIIT have explicitly listed high-end electronic chemicals as a key cultivation direction.

Against this backdrop, CTEF will stage the China Electronic Chemicals Technology & Equipment Innovation and Application Forum on June 4, 2027 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, running alongside the main exhibition. The forum will dive deep into synthesis & reaction, purification & refining, ultra-clean fluid transfer, clean filling, and three-waste treatment processes — pushing domestic chemical equipment into scaled deployment in electronic chemical scenarios, bridging equipment supply and electronic-material production, and supporting China's high-end chemical upgrade and supply-chain autonomy in electronic chemicals.

Market Opportunity for Chemical Equipment Companies in Electronic Chemicals

Electronic chemicals are the technical high ground of high-end fine chemicals. Three trends — capacity expansion, purity upgrades, and domestic substitution — flow directly into the upstream equipment segment, creating certain growth room across purification, reaction, fluid handling, inspection, and environmental equipment. By industry logic, production equipment, clean utilities, and analytical instruments together account for 60%–72% of an electronic chemicals line's total investment — making them the core beneficiary of capacity build-out. Meanwhile, the domestic production rate of high-end electronic-grade equipment is generally below 30%, leaving a large substitution gap.

Five Thematic Tracks Driving High-Quality Development

Track 1 | Domestic substitution opportunities and market room for chemical equipment amid the electronic chemicals capacity wave

• Investment share, procurement patterns, and overall market sizing for chemical equipment during electronic chemicals capacity cycles;
• Current domestic production rates of core unit equipment (reactors, purification, fluid handling, environmental) and chokepoint pain points in high-end electronic-grade scenarios;
• National fine-chemicals, high-end equipment, and semiconductor-material policies — support directions and R&D priorities for electronic-grade equipment;
• Integrated design and package-supply opportunities across the full reaction–purification–filling–environmental flow under EPC models;
• Line-retrofit demand as phosphorus/fluorine chemical players shift to electronic-grade products, and entry paths for local equipment makers.

Track 2 | Precise control of electronic chemicals synthesis and equipment adaptation for specialty conditions

• Application scenarios and performance gains of continuous-flow reactors and microchannel reactors in electronic chemicals synthesis;
• Precision temperature, pressure, and automated interlocking schemes for synthesis reactions;
• Material selection and field practice for corrosion-resistant options — specialty alloys, PTFE linings, high-purity glass-lining — in electronic-grade reaction equipment;
• Differentiated reactor configurations for photoresists, electronic specialty gases, and wet electronic chemicals.

Track 3 | Technical breakthroughs and energy efficiency in ultra-high-purity purification & refining equipment

• Integrated multi-stage distillation, adsorption, membrane separation, and ion-exchange process packages, and their fit for G5-grade wet chemicals;
• Critical equipment technical paths and core metrics for precise impurity control and nano-scale particle removal in electronic-grade purification;
• Structural optimization of high-end purification hardware: reducing dead legs, minimizing residue, and improving cleaning efficiency — engineering practice;
• Energy-saving design of purification systems — field cases of heat-pump distillation and waste-heat recovery;
• Material-maker validation progress and scaled-substitution paths for domestic high-purity purification equipment.

Track 4 | Cleanliness control and component upgrades in electronic-grade ultra-clean fluid transfer and filling

• Clean-class machining standards and performance validation for high-purity pumps/valves, PFA/PTFE seals, and ultra-high-purity filters;
• Anti-contamination design of electronic-grade ultra-clean filling lines: particle control, sterile filling, automatic purge & clean-in-place;
• Domestic R&D challenges for high-purity chemical distribution systems (CDS/GC) and system integration with existing lines;
• Long-term cleanliness impact of high-purity piping welding, installation, cleaning, and passivation;
• Life-cycle management of fluid components and cost/risk assessment for domestic replacement.

Track 5 | Green production and environmental/safety equipment for electronic chemicals

• Adsorptive/thermal-regenerative catalytic oxidation for specialty VOCs, acid/alkali off-gas, and fluorine-containing waste gas;
• Ultra-clean process wastewater treatment, heavy-metal removal, and water reuse — technical routes and compliance practice;
• Recovery and purification of spent solvents and residues, and cost-reduction field cases;
• Explosion-proof, clean-room fire safety, and hazardous-chemical storage/transport requirements for electronic chemical sites;
• Smart upgrades for environmental equipment: online monitoring, traceability, and unmanned O&M.
