During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the new tasks and goals for the development of the cement industry are to promote industrial restructuring and optimization, strengthen regional cooperation, extend the industrial chain, advance the sustainable development of the cement industry, further improve energy conservation and emission reduction and collaborative disposal, promote technological innovation, enrich and expand new dry-process technology, enhance technological content and resource utilization, and achieve breakthroughs in technology and equipment levels, thereby realizing the ultimate goal of making the cement industry "strong from large."

The reporter observed on site that the exhibition was large in scale with a great number of participants, gathering enterprises and media, with more than100companies of various types and dozens of media outlets exhibiting. Among them were many industry giants, leading enterprises, and mainstream industry media. Each enterprise carefully arranged its booth and promoted in multiple forms, showcasing its own brand products, flagship projects, and exclusive technologies. Booths of many well-known enterprises and research institutions, such as Kehang Group, China National Building Material International Engineering Group Co., Ltd.,TJKJianke Machinery, and the Hefei Cement Research and Design Institute, attracted numerous customers.

From the exhibition, it can be seen that cement enterprises developing into the sand and gravel and concrete industries has become an inevitable measure for cement enterprises to improve the industrial chain, reduce market risks, and achieve sustainable development. In2013, the "14th China International Cement Technology and Equipment Exhibition" continued to be held concurrently with the "6th China International Mining and Powder Processing Technology and Equipment Exhibition" and the "5th China International Concrete Technology and Equipment Exhibition," jointly creating a full industrial chain covering mining and sand and gravel, cement, concrete, and construction technology, and providing customers with broader and richer trade and market information.

The most distinctive feature and hallmark of this exhibition is its development toward internationalization and toward brand and premium exhibitions, presenting to attending merchants with a brand-new posture, excellent service, a huge buyer group, and rich academic exchange activities; at the same time, it displays the latest products, technologies, and equipment in the industry, comprehensively presenting current trends and development directions in the cement industry, and providing favorable opportunities and the best platform for exhibitors to seek cooperation, expand markets, and develop innovations.
