According to a disclosure by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on May 11th, Shenzhen Chuangxiang Sanwei Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Chuangxiang Sanwei) has passed the hearing for a main board listing in Hong Kong, with China International Capital Corporation (CICC) acting as the sole sponsor.
As outlined in its prospectus, the company is a global provider of consumer-grade 3D printing products and services. Its offerings primarily include 3D printers, 3D printing consumables, 3D scanners, laser engraving machines, accessories, and other related items, along with various services provided through its Chuangxiang Cloud platform, which is dedicated to 3D printing content. Furthermore, the company launched Nexbie in August 2025, an overseas e-commerce platform focused on 3D creative finished products.
The company's comprehensive 3D printing product and service ecosystem is designed to be mutually reinforcing. In the creative process, users often combine 3D printing with 3D scanning and laser engraving to achieve more holistic solutions. By offering one-stop purchasing services and facilitating continuous traffic conversion between products and services, the company aims to drive repeat customer purchases and enhance customer loyalty to its product and service ecosystem. Additionally, after purchasing the company's products, customers are directed to the Chuangxiang Cloud and Nexbie platforms, a strategy intended to boost user engagement and aid in product discovery.
The company employs a hybrid sales model combining direct sales and distribution. Through direct sales, it establishes direct connections with both individual and corporate users. Concurrently, it collaborates with distributors who resell its products to end-users. As of December 31, 2025, the company had established a sales network covering approximately 140 countries and regions worldwide. This network comprises 81 of the company's online stores, 2,422 domestic and international distributors, and its direct sales teams.
The industry exhibits a relatively high degree of market concentration, particularly in the 3D printing and laser engraving segments, where the largest player holds over 40% market share, while the other top five participants each hold approximately 10%. Competition among second-tier players is intensifying, with market shares in a state of flux, and several emerging participants are capturing market share. The industry in which the company operates is characterized by the presence of dominant incumbents alongside a continuous influx of new market entrants.
This competitive landscape may limit the company's ability to respond effectively to market developments and customer demands, potentially leading to pricing pressure, weakened pricing power, and margin compression. Furthermore, rapid technological changes could shorten product lifecycles, necessitating increased research and development efforts and potentially leading to higher costs and inventory obsolescence risks. To maintain competitiveness, the company may need to increase expenditures on marketing, branding, and channel development, adopt more flexible commercial terms, and increase capital investment, which could adversely affect its cash flow and financial performance.
Financially, for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, the company's revenue was approximately RMB 1.883 billion, RMB 2.288 billion, and RMB 3.127 billion, respectively. For the same periods, its annual profit was approximately RMB 129 million, RMB 88.66 million, and a loss of RMB 182 million, respectively.
