Concrete and cement product is an important part of the building materials industry and the most widely used material and component in infrastructure and engineering construction. Being widely used in housing construction, bridges, airports, highways, railways, various industrial mining and military defense projects, concrete and cement product serves as an important support for the " China Construction" brand and an important social security industry such as ecological protection, environmental protection and waste utilization, and emergency rescue.

According to statistics, the total output value of the whole industry above designated size has increased from 1,190.5 billion yuan in 2016 to 1,790.6 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 10.74%, and the output of major products has increased steadily. Among them, the output of commercial concrete above designated size has increased from 1.79 billion cubic meters in 2016 to 2.842 billion cubic meters in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 12.25% and the industrial structure more optimized. The development of such a scale industry urgently needs channels and platforms for dialogue with international and domestic markets, and the form of exhibitions is the medium with the most international market language, which provides assistance in the development of the industry.

The exhibition is a necessary track for the high-quality development of industry

In recent years, in the new development pattern, the implemented strategy of strengthening China through science and technology, manufacturing, transportation and regional coordinated development, huge infrastructure system construction marked by "new infrastructure, new urbanization initiatives and major projects" (new infrastructure construction, new urbanization construction, transportation, water conservancy and other major projects), transportation system construction, metropolitan area and city cluster construction have brought new and huge market demand for concrete and cement products industry. At the same time, higher requirements are put forward for the green, low carbon, quality, performance, function and support ability of concrete and cement products. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and business model innovation represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, new energy, digital economy, sharing economy are constantly emerging, providing technical support and development environment for the upgrading of concrete and cement products industry to high-end manufacturing.

According to statistics, various product fields of ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete have seen enterprises above designated size and the scale of backbone enterprises growing, the industrial concentration, the industrial scientific and technological innovation ability and the industrial green environmental protection function gradually enhancing, the high-end intelligent manufacturing reaching a new level, the integration of industrial ecology and value chain presenting a diversified trend, and the pace of internationalization accelerating. Among them, more than 40 enterprises in key industries, such as ready-mixed concrete, precast concrete piles, concrete poles, prefabricated building components, PCCP, calcium silicon plate, etc., have achieved international development through overseas investment and international trade. In this case, the role of trade fairs is more obvious, and it has gradually become an essential track for the industry to reach the stage of high-quality development.

China Concrete Exhibition is a large-scale exhibition window of concrete and cement products in the world, which has built a rich and diversified large-scale exhibition platform for new products, new technologies, new equipment and new services of concrete and cement products, aiming at promoting the docking of China concrete and cement products industry with architectural design and engineering construction, facing the terminal market, opening up the "last mile" of material innovation and product application in the industry, and actively helping the concrete and cement products industry to build a "domestic and international circulations" pattern. At the same time, it focuses on the achievements of informatization, green and intelligent development of China concrete and cement products industry, showing the clear direction and surging trend of the whole industry towards high quality and digitalization. CCPA Secretary-General Zeng Qingdong, the organizer of China Concrete Exhibition, introduced that China Concrete Exhibition has shown its strong development momentum in recent years with the performance of nearly doubling the exhibition area. The exhibition area for the 2021 - 2022 China Concrete Exhibition exceeds 30,000 square meters, which not only shows its growing market influence and competitiveness, but also the gradual improvement and perfection of China concrete and cement products industrial system, and the steady layout of high-capacity service construction for high-quality development.

The exhibition is the interactive link and achievement display stage of the whole industry chain

Concrete is one of the core basic materials for building an industrial country, which is related to the life and quality of all engineering construction. The contents of China Concrete Exhibition are related to the whole industrial chain of concrete and cement products.

The market value of industrial clusters driven by industrial chain in China concrete and cement products industry is at least 3 trillion yuan. Among them, cement, sand aggregate, admixture, concrete machinery and equipment are some important related industry. Referring to the characteristics of the exhibition, Secretary-General Zeng Qingdong pointed out that China Concrete Exhibition always focused on key industries such as high-performance concrete and concrete admixtures, prefabricated buildings and cement products in large and new infrastructure, recycling of industrial solid waste and construction waste, and concrete equipment machinery. The 2021 China Concrete Exhibition will showcase the application results of concrete and cement products in national key projects, and provide the audience with domestic cutting-edge technical products and market information related to many sub-industries, involving ready-mixed concrete raw materials, manufacturing equipment, construction and transportation equipment, UHPC, 3D printing, decorative concrete, precast concrete members, cement concrete pipe culvert, precast concrete pile, aerated concrete slab and other cement products, equipment, supporting products and construction technology and inspection and testing equipment for concrete and cement products.

In addition to important related industries, top-tier brands and head enterprises are also the mainstay of China Concrete Exhibition. In this regard, Secretary-General Zeng Qingdong said that leading enterprises like China West Construction Group Co., Ltd (CWCG), Jianhua Construction Materials Co., Ltd, Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd and other industries shared stories of their industries in different ways at the exhibition, bringing brand-new images and industrial achievements of enterprises. Whether in the context of "China Construction", in the achievements of fighting against COVID-19 and various disasters in recent two years, or in all the key projects and landmark projects in China in recent decades, the sweat and footprints of these enterprises can be seen at the 2021 - 2022 China Concrete Exhibition in middle of June,2022.

"In recent years, China concrete and cement products industry has not only affected the national economy and people's livelihood from micro to macro, but also gradually became an important industry for a healthy China, a beautiful China and a green China. In this process, proved by more than two years of practice, China Concrete Exhibition is gradually becoming an authoritative window to understand the latest trends in industry development and a market medium." Secretary Zeng Qingdong said.
