bauma China 2008 in Shanghai
From the 25th to the 28th November the international construction sector is coming together in the spectacular setting of the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) for bauma China 2008.
And Shanghai, the greatest port city in the most populous country on earth, is playing host.
Over a total area of 210,000 square metres, 40% bigger than in 2006, more than 1,300 companies are expected to exhibit (2006: 1,088 exhibitors). The outside areas cover roughly 130,000 square metres; with one more exhibition hall available, indoor capacity has now reached 80,000 square metres. The number of international pavilions this year has also increased by one (Rumania) to make eight in all.
The construction sector in China grows by 25%
Double-digit growth rates in the construction machinery sector in China and Eastern Asia show quite clearly what importance bauma 2008 has for the Asian market. In concrete terms, in the first six months of 2008 investment in the Chinese construction sector alone reached a volume of 210 billion Euros. In comparison to the same period in the previous year this means an increase of 25%. In other words, this means that 18% of the total gross domestic product in China went into investment in the construction sector.
