Building Materials Expo | Global Business Opportunities at Your Fingertips! 2025-2026 Global Building Materials Expo Schedule Released

The global building materials market is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2026, showing a diversified growth trend. For building materials companies, participating in international trade shows is an important way to expand overseas markets and acquire new customers.

The building materials market in different regions has its own characteristics and opportunities.

The Asia-Pacific region is undergoing rapid urbanization, with megacities like Jakarta and Manila expanding. India has set a goal to build housing for 600 million people by 2030 as part of its urbanization efforts. Thailand is promoting the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project, while Japan and South Korea are implementing green building policies.

There is a huge demand for construction in the Americas. The United States faces a shortage of 3.8 million housing units, while Canada’s wave of immigration is driving construction demand. Governments in various South American countries are actively promoting infrastructure projects, and Mexico is benefiting from “nearshoring” policies by undertaking a large number of engineering projects for North America.

In Europe, under the EU's "Green New Deal," there is a requirement for all existing buildings to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050. Additionally, the "Renovation Wave" initiative aims to renovate 35 million old buildings by 2030. Urbanization and infrastructure investment in Eastern Europe, along with the mandatory application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in countries like the Netherlands and Switzerland, have also created market opportunities.

The construction markets in the Middle East and Africa are active. Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" has generated $500 billion in construction projects; Qatar is advancing the Gulf Railway plan; the UAE is implementing a diversification strategy; and Africa is collaborating with China on numerous infrastructure projects.
