BaumaCHINA 2024, the Shanghai International Exhibition for Construction Machinery, Building Materials Machinery, Mining Machinery, and Construction Vehicles, is scheduled to take place from November 26 to 29, 2024, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The theme for this year’s exhibition is "Chasing Light, Encountering a Brilliant Future," with a total exhibition area of 330,000 square meters.
As of now, over 3,000 exhibitors have registered for the event, showcasing a diverse range of companies from more than 30 countries and regions, including China, Germany, the United States, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. Leading domestic companies such as XCMG, SANY, Zoomlion, Shandong Lingong, Longgong, Shantui, Dingli, and others will be present. International heavyweights like Caterpillar, Wirtgen, Manitou, BOMAG, and more will also participate, alongside significant national pavilions from Germany, Italy, and Turkey.
Due to the overwhelming demand for exhibition space, the number of exhibitors has exceeded the available 330,000 square meters at the venue. As of September 2024, nearly 700 companies were still on the waiting list for exhibition space. The organizers are working diligently to coordinate and accommodate the desires of these companies to participate.
The event is expected to attract over 200,000 professional visitors from more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. The registration channel for attendees opened just three weeks ago and has already seen a significant influx of international interest, with registrations pouring in from Belt and Road countries and Southeast Asian regions, including Malaysia, Russia, India, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, Indonesia, and Singapore.
BaumaCHINA serves as a pivotal platform for the global construction machinery industry, helping Chinese enterprises showcase their capabilities to the world. The increasing international participation underscores the interdependence between China’s technological innovations and the global machinery market, reflecting a trend where the development of the global construction machinery industry increasingly relies on contributions from China.
In alignment with the dual carbon targets, the exhibition will feature new thematic zones focused on smart solutions and new energy technologies. These zones aim to address emerging trends in the industry, including digital transformation, intelligent construction, low-carbon practices, and electrification. This initiative highlights BaumaCHINA's commitment to leading the industry toward digitalization and sustainable development.
On October 22, 2024, the Munich Expo Group signed a ten-year renewal agreement with the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Machinery Industry Branch, and China National Engineering Machinery Complete Co., Ltd. in Beijing. This collaboration marks a new chapter for innovation and growth in the construction machinery sector.
As the countdown to BaumaCHINA 2024 begins, the exhibition promises to be a significant event for industry stakeholders, showcasing the latest advancements and paving the way for future developments in the construction machinery field.
