What happened?

Chinese materials manufacturer SUNLU more than doubled its first-half revenue year on year in 2026 while progressing toward a listing on Shenzhen’s ChiNext market.

Key details

  • The report puts SUNLU’s first-half 2026 revenue at RMB 1.065 billion.
  • That represents 102.88% year-on-year growth.
  • The company reported RMB 163 million in net profit for 2025.
  • On September 1, the first round of exchange questions and responses related to the ChiNext listing process was published.

Why it matters

Filament was once treated as a consumables side market of desktop 3D printing. SUNLU’s scale shows that materials have become a major industry in their own right, with Chinese suppliers increasingly operating as global players.
