Shanghai connects the domestic mining industry with the rest of the world through the highly successful bauma CHINA. Today’s era necessitates global interconnectedness and the Chinese market comes out to play during this landmark event. The 2024 edition shattered attendance records with 281,488 trade visitors, over 20% of whom traveled from overseas. This figure marks a significant increase compared to 2018. Among the top 10 visitor countries were Russia, India, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and Japan, reflecting the global interest in China’s rapidly growing construction and mining machinery industry. The event’s international participation also highlighted its strategic role in fostering collaboration between global markets and China, particularly amid initiatives like the ""Belt and Road"" project, Saudi Arabia’s ""Vision 2030"" infrastructure investments, and Indonesia’s accelerated mining plan. These initiatives are driving robust demand for advanced construction and mining machinery across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other Belt and Road regions. As a result, Shanghai becomes an invaluable hub for the mining industry in Chian.
