The countdown is on: bauma, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment, will start in Munich in a few weeks’ time. From 7 to 13 April, more than 3,500 exhibitors from 57 countries will be presenting their latest machines, technologies and innovations on a total of 614,000 square meters of exhibition space.

Noticeable increase in international participation

Demand for exhibition space also remains high in 2025, and bauma is once again fully booked. There has been a noticeable increase in international participation, primarily from Asia, specifically from India, Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea.

Europe also well represented

Europe does, however, also remain present with a strong presence. Italy is the second largest exhibitor group after Germany, Turkey is the fourth largest. The number of exhibitors from Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal has also grown. Companies from Argentina and the Philippines will be taking part for the first time.

Stefan Rummel, CEO of Messe München, emphasizes: “The persistently high level of interest in bauma underscores its global significance. bauma is and remains the heartbeat of the industry and will continue to provide important impetus even in the challenging market environment of 2025.”
