Not every trade fair serves as a benchmark – bauma is one every time.
bauma 2025, the world’s largest trade show for construction machinery, building materials, mining equipment, and construction vehicles, took place at the Munich Exhibition Center from April 7 to 13, 2025.
In a time of global challenges, bauma once again highlighted the strength and resilience of the industry. More than just a showcase for groundbreaking technologies and new partnerships, the event proved itself a vital driver for progress and collaboration.
The show welcomed around 600,000 visitors from over 200 countries and 3,601 exhibitors from 57 nations – including UAE’s Plant & Equipment. Notably, there was significant growth in international attendance, particularly from the Middle East and Africa.
The next edition of bauma is scheduled for April 3 to 9, 2028, at the Munich Exhibition Center.
