展会报告(Show Reports):
Verona, 27 September 2024 – The 58th Marmomac closes today under the banner of internationality. More than 50,000 operators attended the 4-day event at Veronafiere - 66% international, accredited from 140 countries. During the event, had the chance to meet 1,485 companies from 55 countries, spread over an area of 74,000 sq.m., occupying in all 12 show halls and 4 outside areas.
These figures provide a snapshot of the show, confirming its leading role for the entire global natural stone community, as represented in every segment of the supply chain, from unhewn stone to processing technologies, and experimental applications in architecture and design fields.
"The 58th show," commented Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere, "highlights the leading role of Marmomac as a model of internationality and innovation, as clearly pointed out by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Hon. Urso, during the opening ceremony. Such success is the outcome of strong collaboration with Confindustria Marmomacchine, the ITA Trade Agency, the MAECI and MIMIT Government Ministries, trade associations and institutions in the local area."
The exhibition, in terms of attendance by international operators, proved to be a litmus test for trends on the main destination markets for Made in Italy natural stone and technology.
"Marmomac is the absolute landmark for the entire global natural stone industry," said the Managing Director of Veronafiere, Maurizio Danese, "and as such also reflects changes in economic and geopolitical tensions. Confirmation of this emerges from the composition of the top 5 international buyers: in order, Germany, Spain, USA, France and India. Compared to 2023, we saw a downturn in attendance from Germany and France, consolidation for Spain and the United States and a 10% increase for India. Mention must also be made of the two-figure performance by the United Kingdom at +20%."
The international character of the format was strengthened in particular by two initiatives presented during the event.
“During Marmomac, we signed the renewal until 2029 of the framework agreement between Veronafiere and Confindustria Marmomacchine for joint international promotion of the Made in Italy natural stone system," said Adolfo Rebughini, CEO of Veronafiere. “This is joined by the launch of Marmomac Brazil, a new trade fair platform that will make its début in São Paulo in 2025 to consolidate our positioning in the Americas. These two initiatives are part of a long-term vision designed to expand penetration by Italian and international companies into strategic markets."
In addition to its central role for business, once again this year Marmomac was an important occasion for discussion and training focusing on the culture and new languages associated with stone materials. This involved exhibitions and more than 40 conferences and workshops of The Plus Theatre and A Matter of Stone, culminating with Marmomac Academy courses for architects.
Marmomac 2024 also highlighted female entrepreneurship in the natural stone sector with the award by the National Women of Marble Association and the Masters of Stone ceremony - which for the first time made awards to four women.
The next edition of Marmomac is scheduled 23-26 September 2025.
