Bauma SHANGHAI 2026 will be held simultaneously across two halls, signaling the global construction machinery industry’s rallying call.
As 2026 nears its midpoint, the construction machinery industry continues to show multiple signs of recovery. From January to May 2026, excavator sales rose 24.7% year over year, while loader sales increased by 27.3%, with electric loaders surging an impressive 90.9%. The domestic market is steadily rebounding, and overseas exports remain robust. At the policy level, favorable measures are being rolled out in tandem: the “Implementation Plan for Enhancing Intercity Commuting Efficiency in Metropolitan Areas,” jointly issued by eight government departments, is accelerating the launch of a number of major railway, highway, and transportation‑hub projects, further boosting demand in the construction machinery sector.
With dual support from both the demand side and policy measures, business confidence has continued to strengthen, and exhibitors’ enthusiasm has reached an unprecedented high. This edition of bauma SHANGHAI 2026—the Shanghai International Exhibition for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machinery, and Engineering Vehicles and Equipment—will, for the first time, adopt a “one show, two halls” format—on Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center (November 23–26) and held in tandem with the Shanghai New International Expo Center (November 24–27).
As of now, nearly 4,000 companies from more than 30 countries and regions have registered to exhibit, and the exhibition layout for both the New International Pavilion and the Expo Pavilion is being steadily advanced. This dramatic expansion in scale reflects not only a significant increase in the number of participating enterprises but also the global construction machinery industry’s strong recognition of, and collective optimism about, the growth potential of the Chinese market.
Global industry giants have gathered, with leading companies competing on the same stage.
The bauma SHANGHAI 2026 exhibition will bring together XCMG, SANY, Zoomlion , Shantui, Lingong, Liugong, Dingli, Longgong, Lovol, Xingbang Intelligent, Sunward Intelligent, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry, Tongli Heavy Industry, Black King Kong Including a host of leading domestic players—Caterpillar, Wirtgen, Komatsu, and the Fayat Group— Haidebaolai International renowned brands such as Skyjack, Ammann, and others will also be on full display. Leading companies across multiple industries have set up exhibits in both the New International Pavilion and the Expo Pavilion, reflecting the deepening of their global footprint and diversified strategies, as well as the confidence and resolve of Chinese brands to engage fully in global competition and cooperation.
A deep, end-to-end industrial-chain strategy, bringing together a powerhouse lineup across niche segments.
From upstream extraction to downstream construction, and from core components to complete machinery, leading companies across every link of the construction machinery industry chain have gathered to showcase their offerings.
Zhigao, Kaishan, Zhekuang, Shibang, Black King Kong Leading mining machinery companies will showcase large-scale crushing and screening equipment, rock‑drilling machinery, and integrated smart‑mining solutions, offering a clear demonstration of the evolution of mining operations from mechanization to intelligent automation.
Rexroth, Danfoss, Parker Hannifin, Hengli As a leading player in hydraulic transmission, it will also bring cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements in high-pressure hydraulic systems and intelligent electro-hydraulic control.
The implement track is composed of Taizhou Beilite, Shandong Hongfang, Zhejiang Lingde, Shandong Mingde Led by enterprises, the initiative focuses on the coordinated matching and intelligent control of host machines and attachments.
In the building materials machinery sector, Fujian Quangong, Qingdao New Type, Zhuhai Shigoma It will deliver green production equipment and comprehensive smart manufacturing solutions.
Powertrain segment, Isuzu, PERKINS, Yanmar, Deutz, ZF, Kubota As engine brands vie to lead the pack, they are collectively showcasing a diverse array of low-carbon powertrain technologies, including emissions‑reduction upgrades, hybrid systems, and hydrogen‑fuel solutions.
ITR WORLD, Jian’an Machinery, Grammer, BLACK CAT, Total, Taikaiying, Zhongce Rubber, Sinopec Supporting enterprises are also making a strong entry, together building a full‑industry‑chain ecosystem that encompasses complete machines, core components, attachments, and ancillary parts.
Notably, this year’s exhibition has seen particularly strong performance in the components and hydraulic transmission sectors, which have become one of the key highlights of the industry‑wide showcase. Data indicate that by 2025, the self‑sufficiency rate for core components had reached 78%, with critical bottlenecks—such as high‑end hydraulics and electronic controls—being systematically addressed, marking the full emergence of a robust domestic supply chain for core parts. This progress vividly reflects China’s engineering machinery sector transitioning from “being able to procure” to “being able to manufacture.”
New‑type productive forces are converging, as electrification and intelligent technologies reshape industry boundaries.
Electrification is transitioning from a “trend” to “mass‑scale adoption.” According to the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, the market penetration of electric wheel loaders has surged from less than 1% in 2022 to 26.87% in the first quarter of 2026.
Amid the electrification wave, the first to sound the call to action are the battery and energy‑management sectors— CATL, EVE Energy, Shanghai Jiuxing Energy, Star Charge Once the companies are in place, cutting-edge advancements such as high‑energy‑density batteries, ultra‑fast charging technologies, and integrated charging‑and‑battery‑swapping solutions will be showcased on site.
Electric complete machines also offer plenty of highlights: Hangzhou Lanli Electric Technology and Wuhai Iridium-Molybdenum New Energy As emerging players gather momentum, their electric‑powertrain retrofit solutions and new‑energy complete‑machine products are driving the electrification transition from standalone equipment to comprehensive system‑level solutions. From battery cells and battery packs to charging and battery‑swapping infrastructure and fully electrified machines, the entire electrification value chain will be showcased in its entirety at the exhibition.
Intelligent technologies are being rapidly deployed. Embodied intelligence, digital twins, and unmanned operations are moving beyond the laboratory and into construction sites.
Xuzhou Weika Electronics, Henan JiaChen Intelligent Control Leading smart‑control companies have confirmed their participation and will showcase a range of technologies and products spanning intelligent sensing, autonomous decision‑making, remote operation, and unmanned automation.
China Railway Equipment, Herrenknecht This represents the cutting edge of intelligent underground engineering equipment, showcasing the latest advancements in areas such as digital twins and unmanned tunneling. From sensing to control, and from components to systems, these pioneering technologies have moved from the laboratory to the exhibition floor, now within easy reach.
Leveraging the expansion and upgrade of the “One Exhibition, Two Pavilions” model, the World Expo Pavilion will offer more ample exhibition space to support the engineering machinery industry’s transformative leap toward electrification, intelligence, and globalization. In addition to its existing thematic displays, it will feature an expanded focus on new‑energy equipment, remote‑control systems, smart digital solutions, and overseas‑market entry strategies, while also introducing a specially designated… Dynamic Demonstration Zone for Construction Machinery Application Scenarios , enabling deep integration between technology and real-world scenarios.
