Comvac 2019 Focus on energy efficiency and predictive maintenance

Comvac will take place again during Hannover Messe from April 1 to 5, 2019. The leading international trade fair for compressed air and vacuum technology, will put individual solutions and industry 4.0 in the limelight.

According to the organizer, Deutsche Messe, there is great demand on the part of exhibitors: Hall 26 has already been fully booked at an early date. Exhibitors at Comvac will therefore also be located in the southern part of neighbouring Hall 25 and on the open-air grounds. According to the organizer, especially companies from China, Germany, and Turkey are contributing to the strong growth.

"We expect Comvac 2019 to grow by 15 % compared to 2017," reports Benjamin Low, Global Director Comvac at Deutsche Messe. “Visitors can look forward to many new developments. For example, high-pressure air makes complex processes in the chemical and petrochemical industries simpler, and power storage plants use compressed air to store power generated by sun and wind." Exhibitors will profit in particular by the synergies created with related drive and fluid technology topics, Low continues.

Compressed air market is growing

According to an analysis conducted by the research company Global Market Insights, the compressed air market will exceed a value of $ 11 billion by 2024. In addition, the analysts expect the cumulative annual growth rate to remain at above 6 %. The market for compressed air is likely to be strongly influenced by rapid industrial expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
