For the ninth consecutive year, the JEC Asia International Composites event will come to the Suntec Center in Singapore for a three day event starting on 15th November 2016.
Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group president & CEO commented: “Asia is fast at building infrastructures, offering mass transportation and producing light devices. Consequently, a platform like JEC Asia presenting new recyclable materials and products is most appreciated. While in 2015, the Asian Composites market was worth USD 31.78 billion, i.e. 43% of the worldwide market, by 2030, Asia should account for 60% of worldwide composites production.
“The Asian Composites market is complex and heterogeneous. JEC Asia is one of the only international platforms to reflect this diversity.” adds Mr. Christian Strassburger, JEC Group, Asia Director.”
In 2015, JEC Asia was visited by 52% of end-user companies from 43 countries. In 2016, the industries represented will include automotive & transportation, construction & building, oil & gas, wind energy and aerospace. As regards to the latter, the Aerospace Composites Circle will take place once again on the second day of JEC Asia, gathering key players from this industry for a networking and knowledge sharing session.
Moreover, three conferences out of five will address developments in end-user industries such as carbon fibre in mass production vehicles, low maintenance costs in aircraft, and also market drivers in off-shore activities.
