Heartbeat of the industry and topic leader
bauma 2025 was perceived by many participants as a reflection of the current industry dynamics - both emotionally and in terms of content. Sustainability and forward-looking topics were particularly in focus and were confirmed as defining leitmotifs. The trade fair served as a positive stimulus for the construction industry - both nationally and internationally. Once again, bauma demonstrated that it is a central meeting point for the global concrete and construction machinery industry and drives forward current topics such as sustainable drive systems, energy efficiency and digital solutions. It was perceived not only as a trade fair, but also as a platform for the future. Digitalisation was also a focal point at many of the concrete and precast concrete industry's exhibition stands.
Business platform with a global impact
In addition to its function as a meeting place for the industry, bauma once again proved to be an important business platform with a global reach. It offered ideal conditions for high-quality customer discussions and business deals. The international focus, coupled with the high degree of innovation of the solutions on show, ensured an exceptionally positive response.
International appeal and visitor quality
The trade fair impressed not only with the high number of visitors, but also with their quality. The international audience in particular was perceived as enriching and committed. There was a significant increase in the number of visitors from countries such as Brazil, Portugal, Romania, the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain and China, once again demonstrating bauma's global appeal.
