SCS(SH:601555) 智通财经网·2025-10-30 03:25Core Viewpoint - Domestic mid-to-high-end cleanroom engineering companies are expected to benefit from capital expenditure expansion driven by domestic substitution processes and are likely to seize overseas market opportunities, particularly in Southeast Asia, leading to a new growth cycle and improved profit margins [1][3]. Group 1: Cleanroom Engineering Overview - Cleanroom engineering is a foundational engineering aspect of advanced manufacturing, with the IC semiconductor sector being the primary application area for high-end cleanrooms [2]. - Cleanrooms provide controlled, clean environments for product manufacturing, serving high-tech industries such as integrated circuits, new displays, life sciences, and food and pharmaceuticals [2]. - The capital expenditure for cleanroom engineering in integrated circuit manufacturing accounts for 5-10% of total spending, indicating significant investment potential [2]. Group 2: Global Demand and Market Trends - Global demand for mid-to-high-end cleanroom engineering is expected to grow, driven by capital expenditure expansion in AI and HPC applications [3]. - According to SEMI's July 2025 forecast, global semiconductor equipment sales are projected to reach $125.5 billion and $138.1 billion in 2025 and 2026, respectively, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 6% and 10% [3]. - The U.S. market is anticipated to see accelerated capital expenditure growth due to manufacturing reshoring and supportive chip policies, while Southeast Asia is expected to become a major growth market due to industry chain development and capacity transfer investments [3]. Group 3: Domestic Companies and Overseas Expansion - Leading domestic cleanroom engineering companies are expanding overseas, with international business becoming a new growth point and potentially higher profit margins [4]. - The global mid-to-high-end cleanroom engineering market is concentrated, with high entry barriers due to large investment scales, short project implementation cycles, and low tolerance for errors [4]. - Domestic companies are accelerating their overseas expansion, particularly in Southeast Asia, where early movers like Yaxin Integration and Shenghui Integration have seen over half of their revenue come from international operations by mid-2025 [4].
