October 6 - 11, 2009
Jockey Plaza Convention Center
Lima, Peru
EXCON 2009 http://www.capeco.org/ formerly known as
ExpoVivienda, is the leading building, heavy construction,
environmental engineering and mining construction-related
international tradeshow in Peru. More than 53,000
businessmen including buyers, distributors, and joint venture
partners from Peru and neighbor countries attended EXCON 2007.
Last year 230 exhibitors participated and have generated
over US$ 62 million in export sales for foreign firms.
EXCON 2009 is organized and promoted by the Peruvian
Chamber of Construction (CAPECO: http://www.capeco.org).
The U.S. Commercial Service in Lima will have a presence in EXCON
200 with a catalog exhibition booth.
WHY PARTICIPATE ON THIS EVENT?
Peru represents a rapidly expanding market for American goods and
services. Fueled by robust economic growth and eased market
access conditions, U.S. exports to Peru grew by 41% to a record
level of $4.1 billion in 2007 alone. This trend should be
reinforced as a result of U.S. Congressional approval in December
2007 of the U.S. Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (USPTA or FTA).
The agreement will level the playing field for U.S. companies by
providing greater access to the Peruvian market and improving the
overall commercial and investment climate. The U.S.
Commercial Service in Lima prepares annually the Country Commercial Guide (CCG) for Peru.
This comprehensive report should serve as a first approach to the
local market:
Peru’s construction and building sector have been one of the
strongest components of the economy in recent years and achieved
growth in 2007 of approximately 15%. This expansion has
been propelled by strong overall economic growth, higher
investments to install industrial capacity and a boom in the
development of commercial ventures. It is expected that the
construction and building sector will continue to be one of
Peru’s most dynamic sectors, due to investment projects in
mining, energy, infrastructure and housing. The current
year should be an extremely promising year for the construction
sector, with market growth in the sector expected to reach 20% -
30%.
