      On February 24, it was learned from the organizing committee of the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition that the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition, the annual event of the construction machinery industry, has entered an intense 80-day countdown stage and will be held in Changsha from May 15 to 18.

      Up to now, the preparations for the exhibition are progressing steadily. At present, 1,563 exhibitors from more than 60 countries and regions have signed contracts to participate in the exhibition. The total contracted area has reached 275,000 square meters. The signing rate of exhibitors in the previous session reached 85%. It is expected that the number of exhibitors in the exhibition will exceed 1,800.

      Looking back at the early preparation process, since the first global promotion meeting of the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition "Ten Countries, Hundred Cities, Thousands of Enterprises Brands Tour" was successfully held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the end of November 2023, the Hunan Construction Machinery Army has embarked on a global "face recognition" journey. The promotion activities not only spanned ten countries including Malaysia, the United States, France, and Germany, but also deeply covered provinces with concentrated domestic construction machinery industries such as Guangdong, Fujian, and Henan, successfully linked thousands of companies, and accurately reached millions of industrial chain users, setting off a wave of attention to the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition worldwide.

      New and old gather together, the scale reaches a new high

      With its strong industry appeal, this exhibition attracted the participation of the top 50 global engineering machinery companies, large leading companies at home and abroad, and many small and medium-sized pioneering companies. There are both "old friends" who have deeply cultivated the Chinese market and "new faces" from afar.

      The expansion of the exhibition area, the expansion of the exhibition scale and the digital display are the most "eye-catching" highlights of the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition.

      Compared with the previous three sessions, the exhibition area of ​​this exhibition exceeds the previous level, and the number of participating Fortune 500 and industry leading enterprises has reached a new high. According to preliminary statistics, 23 of the world's top 50 main engine enterprises have confirmed their participation in the exhibition, including Caterpillar, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Volvo, Liugong, Genie, Manitou, Lovol, Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion, Sanhe Intelligent, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry, Xingbang Intelligent, Doosan Bobcat and other world-renowned engineering machinery leading enterprises.

      From the past exhibitions, some familiar figures have always been with us. "Old friends" attended the exhibition as scheduled. More than 10 global top 50 companies such as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion Heavy Industry, Sunward Intelligent, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry, and Xingbang Intelligent will participate in the exhibition for the fourth consecutive year. "New friends" are coming one after another. Two global top 50 companies such as Manitou will cross mountains and seas to participate in the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition for the first time. This exhibition has added more than 100 international brand companies.

      Upstream and downstream enterprises in the construction machinery industry chain are enthusiastic about participating in the exhibition, with 10 Fortune 500 companies participating. Anhui Heli, Weichai Power, and Hunan Iron and Steel Group's Valin Xiangtan Steel and many other companies have participated in the exhibition for four consecutive sessions. Not only that, the area of ​​exhibitors on the "chain" continues to expand. For example, the exhibition area of ​​Hunan Lantian Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has increased from 108 square meters in 2023 to 240 square meters in 2025; Quanzhou Shengde Machinery Development Co., Ltd. has increased from 54 square meters to 135 square meters, etc.

      The industry classification is becoming more and more complete, mainly focusing on core sub-sectors of the engineering machinery industry such as hydraulic sealing devices, electric devices, wearing parts, transmission systems, etc., and the professionalism of the exhibition is further highlighted.

      Focus on innovation and lead green development

      Under the general trend of global green, low-carbon and digital transformation, the 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition will focus on new development trends in the global construction machinery industry, such as digital transformation, smart construction, low-carbon and green, and electrification, and lead the digital transformation and green and sustainable development of the construction machinery industry.

      Green plays a leading role. According to incomplete statistics, 75% of the heavy machinery exhibited at this exhibition will be green, more than 80% of the exhibition will be green, and 100% of the main machine enterprises' exhibits will be engineering machinery main machine products that meet the "National IV" standard. In addition, the proportion of intelligent, electric, and new energy exhibited equipment at the exhibition will increase from 60% in 2023 to more than 75%, covering cutting-edge technologies such as unmanned driving equipment, 5G remote control systems, smart mining solutions, and smart emergency equipment.

      Innovation gathers momentum. The 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition is not only a product display platform, but also a place for the collision of innovative thinking in the industry. The "New Technology and New Product Release Zone" specially set up at the exhibition is expected to have more than 1,500 new products, new technologies, and new services. A number of exhibits representing the development direction of new quality productivity will be launched for the first time, covering many cutting-edge fields of science and technology.

      New zones are set up to expand industry boundaries

      The 2025 Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition is a window for the world to observe the construction machinery industry. As the industry accelerates its transformation and upgrading, the exhibition is also striding forward.

      For the first time, this exhibition will set up the "Emergency Equipment Industry Chain", "Mining Equipment Zone" and "Highway Equipment Zone", with a planned exhibition area of ​​30,000 square meters, covering safety emergency, emergency communication, smart exploration, ecological restoration and green development, etc., and is expected to attract more than 500 exhibitors from China and abroad. These zones will adopt the form of "conference + exhibition", holding 10 conference forums, procurement matchmaking meetings and more than 20 new product technology conferences.
      According to reports, the newly established zones will fill in the blank product categories of Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition in the fields of emergency equipment and mining, and will push the deep integration of construction machinery with safety emergency and mining equipment to a new height, marking the leap of Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition from "construction machinery" to "large machinery field", further enhancing global competitiveness.
      In addition, this exhibition also planned and produced the world's first electronic conference journal in the construction machinery industry, and will promote it online in 100 global media to help more Chinese solutions and Chinese products go global.
