bauma 2025 Tops Expectations, Sparks Optimism in Construction Sector

bauma 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, has surpassed expectations, delivering a strong signal of confidence and investment readiness from the global construction equipment industry.

Joachim Schmid, Managing Director, VDMA Construction – Equipment and Plant Engineering Association, praised the event’s success, stating, “The show exceeds the business expectations of our member companies.” He credited the momentum to the imminent formation of a new German government, the recent €500 billion investment package, and a renewed focus on the European market, all of which are fueling optimism and investment despite customs-related uncertainties.

Joachim Strobel, Chairman, VDMA Trade Association, echoed the sentiment, noting that industry players are “overwhelmed” by the event's outcomes and that customers are clearly prepared to invest in the future.

As conceptual partner of bauma, VDMA hosted a series of engaging events, including the THINK BIG! initiative, which attracted over 15,000 pupils and students, emphasising talent development and industry awareness among youth. Additionally, Hall LAB0—home to the Startup Area, Science Hub, MiC 4.0, and the bauma Forum—drew strong attendance and praise for high-quality interactions and promising business leads.

VDMA Mining & Minerals showcased live interoperability demonstrations, while the Fluid Power and Power Transmission Engineering Association presented a collaborative company stand.

Overall, bauma 2025 has reaffirmed the sector’s resilience, innovation, and growth outlook, with industry leaders highlighting a return to pre-pandemic business confidence levels last seen in 2019.
