Increased urbanisation, investment, government spending, and consumer spending has set Concrete Asia to target the Asian economies which is expected to double in the next 10 to 15 years. To accommodate the striving demand, the Asia’s construction market is expected to grow in both residential and infrastructure sectors. ASEAN is a trillion dollar economy, with growth expected to reach US$4 trillion in 2020 and is the perfect market for the concrete industry.
As the world enters the 4th industrial Revolution, which is also known as “Industry 4.0” defined by the application of Internet of Things (IOT), big data analytics, cyber-physical systems and many other advanced technologies, the concrete industry stands on the threshold of a major transformation that requires economies around the world, including Asia, to redefine and reinvent themselves in order to progress and thrive, according to Professor Dai Xianming, President of the Asian Concrete Construction Institute (ACCI).
“Besides having the exhibition itself presenting trade and networking opportunities, the event is also a strong content platform in terms of the trends, technology and knowledge which are essential for the continual development of the concrete construction in the region. I welcome all in the industry to grow their businesses to success together with our event when it officially opens in September 2016”, said Mr. Loy Joon How, General Manager, IMPACT Exhibition Management Co.
