Under the new normal, many building material industries have a recession in production quantity and sale. Fortunately, Chinese gravel aggregates remains improving fostered by infrastructure construction. As the focus of building material sector, gravel aggregates industry gets attention from the investors inside and outside of the industry. Especially, concrete and cement industry take efforts to take a market share.

During the Shanghai Yingye Exhibition held by Informa Exhibition from April to March, December, 2017, there is specific area for gravel aggregates display. Also there are journalists interviewing Rick Yelton the special adviser of Iforma Group on the view of Chinese concrete and gravel aggregates market.

Rick Yelton as the special adviser mainly managed the training and discussion of each exhibition. Graduated from University of Missouri-Rolla of mining and engineering and got MBA in Saint Louis University, he also worked as monitor and engineer in concrete industry and the editor of many professional magazines of Concrete Construction, Concrete Surfaces, Masonry Construction, and The Concrete Producer. Also he is the senior expert of American Concrete Institute and the steering member of American Concrete Industrial Plan.

Rick told us that China has listed in the leading role in global concrete sector over the past several years. Meanwhile, the increasing demand of concrete in business and building benefits the local manufacturer a lot and attracts global attention. By introducing world concrete brand in Exhibition, China will have more superb products and higher safe, quality, efficiency, and environment development.

Then mission of World Concrete Exhibition is expending more advanced concrete building ways and sharing then with builder, manufacturer, engineer, and experts in construction.

The five trends of concrete industry

Firstly, many concrete constructions are held by large contractors. Also it also available in small project and creates rich profits for contractor and manufacturer with automatic equipment.

Secondly, there are many construction methods in Northern America. The ordinary technology includes prefabricate, inclined concrete, post-stress concrete, and rapid bridge construction technology.

Thirdly, the online sellers of Amazon adopt automatic material storage machine, which will stimulate the development of new products for construction.

Fourthly, many people are apt to using product, technology, and procedure testing to extending building service life.

Fifthly, decoration concrete technology is widely used in Northern America.

With the changing of macro-environment and market, then model of making a reasonable and high efficient configuration of building material resources by market force becomes unsuitable. And gravel, cement, concrete, and other deepening industry integrating have a rapid undergoing.

Therefore, you should improve the ability in cope with the management profits challenge. Also the intelligent reforming in machine and design will hugely change concrete construction industry. Many companies especially material supply department use technology to improve management efficiency.

Enhancing cross-board integration of capital

Statistics shows that, there is more than 14billion RMB cost in concrete consumption since 2013. Also Chinese government will promote building material industry development with transportation and other infrastructure construction. Under the circumstance of capital integration, resource optimal allocation, and rapid development of industry, the exhibition of the world will provide an easy and efficient platform for building material managers in information exchange, resource integration and a new chance for gravel aggregates industry developing.
