According to the organisers, more than 2,400 exhibitors have already signed up for bauma China 2016, the eighth International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machines and Construction Vehicles. Collin Davis, Project Group Manager at Messe M++nchen, says, ?The situation in the Chinese market is complicated, which, of course, is also reflected to a certain extent in a trade fair. However, there?s no doubt that bauma China remains by far the biggest and most important sector event in the Asian region.?

An Off-Highway Research forecast says that the Chinese market for construction machinery will achieve a sales volume of $17.169 billion in 2016 - a slight upward trend.
