Details and insights regarding the Bauma 2025 event taking place in Munich
In the heart of Munich, from April 7-13, 2025, the construction industry will gather for Bauma 2025, a global event showcasing the latest advancements in machinery, processes, and sustainable practices. The international Bauma website can be found at bauma.de.
Last held in 2022, Bauma attracted significant interest from international delegations, particularly in the mining sector, with representatives from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru showing keen interest. Returning exhibitors for Bauma 2025 include industry giants such as Volvo, Deutz, CNH, Liugong, Skyjack, and JLG.
This year, around 150 new exhibitors will join the ranks, including Fortescue, Sandvik, Metso Oyj, HG - 100% electric dumpers, and EXiron AG. The event will focus on key themes such as climate neutrality, alternative drive concepts, connected construction, sustainable construction, and Mining Challenge.
One of the significant shifts in Bauma 2025 is the emphasis on digitalization. The event will feature the bauma FORUM, offering presentations, panel discussions, and keynotes, as well as a programme dedicated to networked construction, integrating machines, processes, and people to optimize efficiency through digital connectivity.
Autonomous construction machinery is another key area of focus, with electric-powered equipment, AI-driven fleet management tools, and immersive training simulators taking centre stage. The event will also showcase digital tools and systems to support industry transformation and sustainable construction practices.
Bauma 2025 underlines that digitalization is no longer optional but fundamental for the future of construction. The event will offer practical applications and support for digital adoption, especially for SMEs. The Scottish Plant Owners Association (SPOA) has emphasized the accelerating digital transformation, committing to strategic support around AI, machine learning, cloud systems, and data integration to reduce barriers in the sector.
Hall B4 will be a new central area for occupational safety, while around 50 start-ups from Bauma 2022 will showcase innovations like mobile robots, digital twins, autonomous crane solutions, and alternative drives. Early exhibitors like Liebherr, Peri, and Wirtgen have already started setting up in October 2024, indicating the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.
The Science Hub will present projects from 11 research institutions, such as autonomous bulk material transport (TU Munich), cable robots (University of Duisburg-Essen), and mobile excavator with person recognition (TU Dresden). The VR Experience Zone from Bauma 2022, featuring interactive exhibitions on construction robotics, additive processes, and digitization, will also return.
In summary, Bauma 2025 positions digital transformation, networked and autonomous machinery, AI applications, and sustainability as central pillars shaping innovation in construction machinery and processes. The event promises to be a hub for industry professionals, start-ups, and researchers, offering a unique opportunity to explore the future of construction technology.
The 2025 Bauma event, held in Munich, will draw global affiliates from the finance, business, technology, and mining sectors, as Fortescue, Sandvik, Metso Oyj, HG - 100% electric dumpers, and EXiron AG join returning exhibitors like Volvo, Deutz, CNH, Liugong, Skyjack, and JLG. This business gathering will be a network hub for professionals and innovators in the construction, finance, and technology industries, with a focus on digitalization, sustainable construction practices, alternative drive concepts, and autonomous machinery.
