“China on track to account for nearly half of world wafer capacity in two years, organiser of world’s largest chip industry trade show says”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results cite the same prediction from the organizer of the world's largest chip industry trade show regarding China's wafer capacity reaching nearly half globally within two years. The third web result provides historical context but does not contradict the core prediction.

“The annual trade show, in Shanghai from Wednesday to Friday, expects to welcome more than 180,000 attendees this year, making it the world’s largest professional semiconductor expo”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results confirm the event details (SEMICON China, Shanghai, March 25-27, 2026) and its status as a major expo. However, none of the provided evidence sources quantify the expected attendance at over 180,000 attendees, making the specific number unverified by the evidence provided.

“China’s chipmaking capacity is expected to increase its share from 32 per cent in 2025 to nearly half of the world’s total by 2028”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a trajectory from 32% in 2025 to nearly 50% by 2028. While web search results discuss China's capacity growth and projections (e.g., surpassing 42.5 million wafers per quarter in Q1 2025, or doubling within 5-7 years), none of the provided evidence sources contain the specific data points: '32 per cent in 2025' or 'nearly half... by 2028'. This specific projection appears to originate from the context of the initial article but is not independently confirmed by the gathered evidence.
