The top five buyer countries were India, Japan, China, South Korea, and Malaysia, with delegations from Japan, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brazil, and Mexico attending for procurement.

TIMTOS 2025 showcased six major industry trends: precision machine tools, key components, full-scale automation and smart manufacturing, digital twin-driven integration, additive manufacturing, and expanded cross-industry applications. Innovations from Taiwan’s machinery sector were displayed across aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer industries, reinforcing Taiwan’s leadership in precision manufacturing and intelligent automation.

AI & Robotics Take Center Stage This year’s theme, "AI & Robotics," highlighted essential components like harmonic reducers and joint modules for humanoid robots. Leading exhibitors HIWIN, CPC, and Main Drive introduced innovative solutions. HIWIN expanded into robot-related components, CPC developed joint modules, and Main Drive launched a production line with an annual capacity of 100,000 harmonic reducers. Taiwanese companies are now positioned as key players in the humanoid robot supply chain, with applications in healthcare, hospitality, and service industries.
