Wahlap Scores Top Honors While Launching Storm Racer 2 Worldwide
Today we have a sponsored post & press release from Wahlap, a continued advertiser here on the site. With Storm Racer 2 now shipping worldwide (with two sources having imported the game here in North America, Betson and Amusement Source International), and some industry awards they’ve collected, they are looking to build on that momentum. This also includes an interesting slide that provides a little industry data from China covering 2025 – this is not data I’ve seen before and it’s quite a thing to note that they are seeing “5,000 new stores” open a year, and over 60,000 in operation, although I’m sure there are plenty that are more/only focused on cranes. Still, that’s a lot of places who can potentially buy arcade machines.

On January 23, 2026, Wahlap clinched three prestigious awards at the 21st China Game Industry Annual Conference (CGIAC), solidifying its standing as a leader in the global game and amusement equipment sector.
The accolades span corporate excellence, product innovation, and individual leadership: Wahlap was named “Outstanding Enterprise in China’s Game Industry”; its self-developed racing arcade game STORM RACER 2 took home the “Outstanding Game & Amusement Equipment” award; and Mr. Benny Su, Chairman of Wahlap, earned the title of “Industry Influential Figure” in recognition of his pivotal role in shaping the industry’s development.
These prestigious honors serve as a powerful testament to Wahlap’s unwavering commitment to independent research and development (R&D) – a cornerstone of the company’s growth strategy. Beyond affirming its domestic industry leadership, the awards reflect Wahlap’s dedication to driving long-term business growth for its global partners through innovative products and reliable collaboration.
Building on this momentum, Wahlap Chairman Benny Su was invited to share his exclusive insights on the development of the game and amusement industry in 2025. He pointed out that the Chinese market is developing steadily, with Guangdong’s game and amusement equipment revenue accounting for 98.5% of the national total. Furthermore, he pointed out that the overseas market holds immense potential, recording a 9.2% revenue growth compared to 2024.
Below is the industry data analysis, aligned with the game and amusement equipment sector:
Bolstered by a strong domestic market foundation, Wahlap holds over 40 global gaming IPs, manufactures more than 300,000 units of gaming equipment annually, has a presence in over 100 countries worldwide, and supplies equipment to over 10,000 venues — a clear testament to its strength as a world-leading amusement equipment provider.
For global arcade industry partners, Wahlap’s deep-rooted footing in the ecosystem brings two invaluable pillars of value: stability and security.
With 35 years of manufacturing expertise under its belt, Wahlap is no fleeting market player—certainly not the kind of supplier that fades as quickly as it appears. Backed by a robust, well-established supply chain and solid governmental policy support, the company stands on an unshakable industrial foundation. When you source racing arcade cabinets from Wahlap, you’re not just buying a piece of gaming equipment; you’re investing in a safe, fully compliant operational backbone crafted for longevity. This is the stark, defining difference between a one-off transaction and forging a genuine long-term partnership—one that centers on mutual growth, not just a single deal.
