With a year still to go before 5930 bauma China 2016 opens its doors, the event is already looking to be very strong. The show will run from November 22nd-25th 2016 and will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).

Since its premiere in 2002, bauma China has grown strongly. With just 485 exhibitors and 32,068 visitors, the first event was relatively modest in size. But by 2006, exhibitor numbers topped 1,000 while visitor numbers exceeded 80,000. The event started out covering 41,000m2 of exhibition space, but just two years later it covered over 100,000m2. Since the 2012 event, it has been taking up the entire 300,000m2 of space available at the SNIEC.

At bauma China 2016, for the third time in a row, the organisers are planning to fill the exhibition space, divided between 200,000m2 indoors and 100,000m2 on the outdoor exhibition area.

The last bauma China in 2014 attracted a record 3,098 exhibitors from 41 countries. That represented an increase of 14% from 2012. And, despite the downwards trend in the market and the significant challenges confronting the sector, the number of visitors was 189,732, from 149 countries and regions. The show was also more international as the proportion of visitors coming from countries outside China rose to 12%.
