- bauma China
2010 - another record-breaker
- More than 150,000 visitors: + 33 per cent
- Increase
in exhibitor numbers and exhibition space
bauma China 2010, the 5th
International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material
Machines, Construction Vehicles and Equipment, has again broken all records
with regard to exhibition space, exhibitor numbers and visitor numbers. Once
more, bauma China
has further consolidated its position as the leading trade show for the Chinese
and Asian construction industry.
More than 150,000 visitors from 165
countries attended this year’s bauma China
(2008: 112,674 visitors from 124 countries). This represents an increase of 33
per cent compared to the last edition. After China,
the top ten countries and regions of origin among the visitors were Korea, India, Japan,
Russia, Malaysia, Brazil, Singapore, Thailand,
Indonesia and Australia – in that order.
“The enormous growth in visitor
numbers as well as the outstanding positive feedback from our exhibitors is
impressive evidence that bauma China is the leading business
platform for the construction industry in China and Asia,”
explained Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of
Messe München. And Zhou Weidong, Vice Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade - Machinery Sub-Council (CCPIT-MSC) summed up: “With the rapid
development of China’s
construction machinery market, bauma China
breaks all records again. Due to the incredibly huge visitor flow, we are sure
that both exhibitors and visitors have achieved their expected goal. bauma China
was a complete success.”
Covering 230,000 square meters of
exhibition space, bauma China 2010 was ten per cent bigger in area than in
2008, when the show took up 210,000 square meters. All in all, 1,858 exhibitors
from 37 countries (2008: 1,608 exhibitors from 30 countries) took part in bauma
China 2010. This means not only an increase of 15 per cent in exhibitor numbers
but also a broader international spread. “bauma China
is not only the most important platform for our globalization drive, it is also
the most efficient access to the latest industrial information. We do not see
bauma China only as a
marketplace, but also as a channel for meeting existing customers and new
contacts from India,
South Asia, South America and Africa,” said Kenny He,
Vice President of Zoomlion.
Of the total of 1,858 exhibitors, China accounted
for the highest proportion with 1,124 exhibitors. 734 exhibitors came from
outside China to present
their latest products and innovations at bauma China. The strongest contingents of
overseas exhibitors were from Germany
(154), Italy (107) and the US (92). “This
year's bauma China
show has exceeded all expectations. Attendance at the show, an important
exhibition in the international calendar, is a must for all engine
manufacturers and OEMs who are committed to being successful in the Chinese
construction industry,” said Gwenne Henricks, President at Perkins
Engines Company Ltd.
A further highlight at bauma China were the national
pavilions from Austria, Finland, Germany, Great
Britain, Italy, Korea, Spain and the US, all showcasing state-of-the-art
technology produced in these countries and informing on research and
development trends.
The next bauma China takes
place from 27 to 30 November 2012.
