Building Construction
Technology Expo 2024 (BCT Expo 2024) – Thailand's biggest annual international
exhibition for the construction industry – is set to return from 18th to 20th
September 2024, at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre, Bangkok, Thailand.
Once again, BCT Expo 2024
will bring together the entire construction industry community from Thailand
and Southeast Asia region to seek business opportunities, networking and
knowledge exchange. This year's event is organized under the theme “The Construction
Industry Meeting Place”, and will take up over 5,000 sq. meters of exhibition
floor space.
BCT Expo 2024 will see over
150 international and local exhibitors showcasing their latest solutions and
technology across 10 construction clusters, ranging from earthmoving and
demolition, lifting and handling, road construction, concrete and cement,
materials, tools and equipment, digital construction, AI & robotics,
construction services to smart facility management. Over 4,000 industry and
trade professionals will attend this all-important 3-day event.
Thailand's construction
market is valued at 1.37 billion THB or 7.6% of the country's GDP in 2023. The
market expects to grow at an annual rate of 3% to 4%, driven by public
infrastructure projects. There are currently some 108,000 construction
companies registered in Thailand, of which 709 companies has the resources to
undertake large-scale projects.
The industry is also facing
headwinds and challenges, that include rising costs, labor shortages, tight timelines,
hazardous working conditions, strict health and safety protocols, and the need
to hasten the adoption of technology to improve productivity while at the same
time meet expected net zero emission targets.
It is against this backdrop
that BCT Expo 2024 is organized to act as a bridge for the Thai and regional
Southeast Asian construction industry to seek international collaborations and
networking, bringing together market-place, ideas, solutions, innovations, and
partnerships for its architecture, construction and engineering sectors.
BCT Expo 2024 will see a
series of well-attended conferences and seminars conducted by various international and local industry
partners, such as Asia Pacific Assistive Robotics Association, Southeast Asia
Construction media, Federation of Thai Industries, Iron & Steel Institute
of Thailand, Drone Association of Thailand, Technology Media, PCS Security and
Facility Services Limited, just to name a few.
This year's conference will
touch on wide-ranging construction related topics that will include robotics
and AI, smart construction equipment and technology, designs, iron and steel
trends, drones in construction, BIM trends, and Smart Facility Management.
As in previous editions,
one of the event's key highlights is its business- matching program, which will
see well over 300 pre-arranged business meetings between key hosted buyers and
BCT Expo exhibitors. The aim is to pre-schedule meetings for exhibitors with
the right buyers during the exhibition and this program has certainly benefited
many BCT Expo exhibitors.
BCT Expo 2024 will take
place at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre, Bangkok, Thailand from 18th
to 20th September 2024. The event is a testament to its records over the years,
in facilitating growth for the construction markets, not just in Thailand but
also in the Southeast Asian region. The upcoming event promises to be yet
another dynamic annual platform for participants to network, exchange views,
update on latest trends, and forge new business deals and opportunities.
