World of Concrete, the No 1 show for concrete preparation techniques
Published 27/12, 2019 at 18:09Even with Conexpo/Conagg breathing down its neck, World of Concrete 2020 is expecting to attract just as many exhibitors and visitors from the fields of demolition, concrete cutting and floor preparation as in January 2019.
World of Concrete 2020, probably the most important annual global show for (amongst other things) the demolition, concrete sawing and drilling, concrete floor grinding and polishing industries is fast approaching. Manufacturers and visitors from all over the world are set to gather in Las Vegas, USA, in February next year, with PDi Magazine as per usual exhibiting in the central hall and providing coverage of the show.
10 years of growth
This year, World of Concrete will be held between 4-7 February (seminars 3-7 February) and is the 45th edition of this amazing show. Around 10 or so years ago the exhibition experienced a decline in both exhibitors and visitors, but has during the last decade steadily seen grown in numbers of both, reaching a 10 year high in 2019. Currently more than 1,150 exhibitors have registered, according to the exhibitor plan, with this figure certain to increase, although the trend for exhibitor growth may end next year. The reason is simple, as also held in Las Vegas in 2020 (10-14 March) is Conexpo/Conagg, organised by the American Equipment Manufacturers Association. Many heavy equipment manufacturers and suppliers choose to exhibit at only one of the shows and this tends to see World of Concrete being neglected.
In 2019 World of Concrete was visited by more than 60,000 people and the 2020 show is expected to reach more or less the same figure. The show is undoubtedly a global arena in terms of both exhibiting companies and visitors, with a large number of manufacturers from all over the world set to exhibit, particularly from the USA, Europe, China and Japan. In terms of light and medium demolition equipment such as hydrodemolition, concrete sawing and drilling, dust extraction, concrete floor preparation and polishing equipment, etc., all the major names will be there, as well as a few new names.
Good times in the US
The positive market outlook in the US means that manufacturers in the above sectors want to target the US building and construction industry which has shown impressive growth. Major investment packages have been launched, primarily in terms of improving infrastructure in such areas as roads, bridges, viaducts, tunnels and so forth that have been neglected for a number of years. This is also reflected in terms of general construction of private homes, offices and industry, which are also picking up. This development has also created new jobs in large parts of the United States, and has seen a decrease in unemployment levels. This development may well keep Donald Trump in power for another four years despite his failings in many other areas.
On the following page you will find a selected list of exhibitors within the sectors covered by PDi Magazine. So, we hope to see you in Vegas at our Booth 4224 located in the central hall.
