World of Concrete has run in Las Vegas for decades as the American concrete industry's dedicated trade show, and its Asian licensed edition brings that same category focus to Shanghai. World of Concrete Asia (WOCA) 2026 runs August 12 to 14 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, organised by Informa Markets, and folds in Shanghai's flooring exhibition and mortar show as co-located events under the same roof.

A Licensed Format With Local Additions

Rather than importing the Las Vegas format unchanged, Informa Markets has built WOCA around the specific product categories relevant to Asian concrete and flooring markets, bundling the core concrete technology show with China's established flooring and mortar exhibitions so that buyers sourcing related building-materials categories can cover multiple purchases in one visit.

That bundling reflects a broader pattern in Shanghai's exhibition calendar, where organisers increasingly combine adjacent product categories under single umbrella events rather than running narrowly focused shows that compete for the same limited pool of specialist visitors.

Product Focus

Coverage spans concrete production and placement machinery, concrete technology and admixtures, along with the co-located flooring systems and mortar products that round out the combined exhibition's building-materials scope.

Quick Reference

The Attachment and Component Opportunity

For concrete production equipment and related component suppliers, WOCA's combination of an internationally recognised brand with Shanghai's existing flooring and mortar show infrastructure offers a lower-risk way to test the Asian concrete equipment market than launching into an unfamiliar regional exhibition without that brand recognition.

The August timing also places WOCA in a relatively open slot on Shanghai's crowded industrial exhibition calendar, avoiding direct competition with the spring cluster of pump, valve, and construction machinery shows that dominate March through June.
