bauma RETURNS WITH A BANG

A total of 3,200 exhibitors from 60 countries displayed their products

Bauma organiser Messe München said more than 495,000 visitors attended the show from October 24-30, with around 50% being international visitors.

The last time the show was held, in 2019, there were 627,603 visitors. Given that, since then, the world has experienced the Covid-19 pandemic and numerous trade shows have been postponed or cancelled, Messe München said it was “thrilled” with how the event went.

Stefan Rummel, CEO of Messe München, said, “After the world fundamentally changed following the last Bauma, we’re really thrilled that Bauma 2022 demonstrates the trade fair remains a powerhouse of the constructionequipment industry thanks to our customers’ great variety of innovations, good business deals and many visitors from all over the world.”

The top ten exhibitor countries were: Germany, Italy, Turkey, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, France, the US, Austria, Spain and China. The share of international exhibitors was nearly 65%.

One of the main themes of the show was alternative power, with many exhibitors showing electric and hybrid models – although many of these were prototypes and not yet commercially available.

Many of the stands at the show were very large, such as Peri’s

The next Bauma show will be held April 7–13, 2025, in Munich, Germany, at the Messe München trade fair centre
