MUNICH—Any concerns about economic troubles in China and other developing markets slowing global construction demand were not evident at the Bauma construction equipment trade show, which saw over half a million attendees descend on Munich, Germany, for the largest industry event of the year. Roughly 580,000 visitors from 200 countries took in the offerings of 3,423 exhibitors at the triennial construction equipment trade fair.
Often seen as a European equipment show, this year’s Bauma saw a mix of exhibitors, with 63% coming from outside Germany. It was the largest Bauma by attendance in the history of the show, according to the organizers, Messe München.
