After three hectic days of business meetings, skill exchanges, and knowledge sharing, JEC World 2023 came to an end, showcasing the composites industry’s capacity for innovation and its role in creating a more sustainable future. More than 106 nations sent over 40,200+ professional visitors to the event, who attended seminars and saw product and technology demonstrations from 1,200 exhibitors. The major nations and regions in the production of composites are showcased in 26 national and regional pavilions.

JEC World, the crucial commercial event for the composites sector

JEC World comes returning at full vigour in 2023 and retains its status as the premier trade show for the world’s composites sector. The event benefited from the increasing audience as frontiers were reopened everywhere. of senior decision-makers from Asia, particularly from China, Japan, South Korea, India, and the Middle East.

JEC World, the only worldwide event that brings together the whole composites value chain from raw material producers to end-user parts and component manufacturers, will bring together important stakeholders from 106 countries and will be valued over 105 billion USD in 2022. The event brought together both large and small businesses from around the world under one roof. It also showcased a number of start-ups among the more than 150 that the JEC team scouts annually, creating a vibrant environment for networking and business potential.

Dedicated villages within the event gave exhibitors the chance to highlight important business trends as the Natural Fibres Village, which reflects the significant interest in bio-based raw materials, or the 3D Printing Village, which emphasises the momentum of various additive manufacturing technologies.

JEC World: Towards a Sustainable Future

The conference programme at JEC World once again focused on sustainability, THE issue that has been driving the industry for some time. The conference programme, which covered every aspect of sustainability throughout the composites value chain, emphasised the crucial role that composites play in lowering CO2 emissions and energy consumption through lightweighting, as well as in ensuring long-lasting performance and durability because of composites’ special properties.

JEC World was a must-attend event to be inspired, celebrate the dynamism of the industry, and look forward to a bright future. All regions of the world were represented at the show, as well as all generations of composite actors, present and future – students were welcome to join a day dedicated to education and recruiting on April 27th! With certainty, it can be said that 58% of the exhibition space has already been reserved for the following edition, which will be held from March 5–7, 2024. to come for fans of composites. The exhibition’s quality and the success of this premier event for the sector have received overwhelmingly positive response from exhibitors and attendees.
