Facts and Information on Bauma 2025 in Munich

The Bauma is the world's most important trade fair for the construction and mining machinery industry and the largest trade fair in the world by area. It takes place every three years on the Munich exhibition grounds - in addition to international offshoots in China and India - and lasts for seven days each time. In April 2025, it's that time again!

Even torrential rains couldn't stop the interested crowds in 2022 from flooding the world's largest industry fair en masse! Around 3,200 exhibitors from 60 countries found their way to the exhibition grounds in Munich/Riem three years ago, according to the organizer, Messe München GmbH. Additionally, more than 495,000 visitors from over 200 countries were counted - not quite pre-pandemic level, but a good result.

Digitization of the Construction Industry

As the organizer announces, a major key theme of bauma 2025 is the digitization of the construction industry to promote efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the construction sector.

The technical core of these industry efforts is the MiC 4.0 BUS protocol, which enables standardized communication between machines and attachments and prevents accidents. Additionally, telematics systems, such as those from Bobcat, allow for bidirectional communication and protect against theft. Digital technologies like the 3D machine control from Develon support less experienced machine operators. Robust sensors, developed for tough operational conditions, connect the physical and digital world and optimize machine use.

With "Connected Construction," bauma 2025 aims to demonstrate how innovations can make the construction industry more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.
