In March 2025, the global construction machinery industry convened at BAUMA (Munich International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery and Mining Equipment). For Central Asian regions, particularly resource-rich countries like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, BAUMA serves as a pivotal platform to explore the latest mining technologies and equipment.
Simultaneously, the local market in Central Asia is rapidly emerging, with notable events such as:
CMM EXPO Uzbekistan Construction and Mining Machinery Exhibition (Tashkent)
- Date: November 11–12, 2025
- Venue: Tashkent Anhor Park (Exhibition Hall)
- Focus: Engineering machinery, mining equipment, building materials technology, and supporting services tailored for the Central Asian market. This exhibition acts as a crucial bridge connecting European technologies with practical demands in Central Asia.

Central Asia Adaptation:
Ideal for hard rock drilling in Kazakhstan. Integration with mining GIS systems enables precise geological analysis and layout.
8. Volvo R100E – Robust Mining Truck
Key Features:
- High fuel efficiency and strong reliability
- 100-ton class with simple maintenance
Central Asia Adaptation:
In Central Asian mining areas with abundant resources but weaker infrastructure, the R100E offers excellent cost-performance ratio, making it a recommended primary transport vehicle.
9. Terex TR100 – Entry-Level Large-Tonnage Mining Truck
Key Features:
- Simple mechanical structure with low maintenance costs
- Good heavy-load stability
Central Asia Adaptation:
Suitable for small to medium-sized private mining enterprises, especially during the initial stages of resource development in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
10. XCMG XE7000 – Representative of High-End Domestic Hydraulic Excavators
Key Features:
- Core components made domestically, facilitating maintenance
- Comprehensive remote monitoring and fault warning systems
Central Asia Adaptation:
With the rapid growth of domestic equipment in the Central Asian market, the XE7000 offers high cost-performance. It’s recommended for priority deployment in projects involving Chinese contractors.
Special Recommendation: Why Participating in CMM EXPO is Equally Important
While BAUMA showcases global cutting-edge technologies, if your focus is on practical applications in the Central Asian market, seeking distributors, understanding procurement standards, and financing channels, then the annually held CMM EXPO Uzbekistan Mining and Construction Machinery Exhibition is equally indispensable.
Why Focus on CMM EXPO?
- Strategic Location: Uzbekistan serves as a transportation hub in Central Asia, radiating to five neighboring countries (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan)
- Government Procurement Platform: The exhibition focuses on B2G and large mining enterprise equipment procurement projects
- Frequent On-Site Signings: Exhibitors from China, Russia, and Turkey often achieve high on-site contract rates
- Localized Services: Equipment leasing, financing solutions, and after-sales systems are all showcased at the exhibition
Recommendations for Exhibiting Companies:
- Transform equipment trends and technological highlights from BAUMA into procurement selling points at CMM EXPO
- Include labels such as “Suitable for Central Asian Mines,” “Compliant with Uzbekistan Standards,” and “Remote Operation Support” in booth materials
- Engage with local distributors in advance; co-exhibiting can enhance professional credibility
Summary: BAUMA for Trends, CMM EXPO for Implementation
From a technological perspective, BAUMA 2025 serves as a frontier observation point to grasp the latest global mining equipment technologies;
From a market reality standpoint, CMM EXPO is a practical docking platform for the Central Asian mining market, helping you complete the sales loop and achieve local penetration.
When formulating strategies for mine equipment upgrades, digital transformation, or expanding into the Central Asian market, consider adopting a combined approach of “Observing Trends in Germany + Implementing in Uzbekistan” to establish a comprehensive market linkage.
📌 Note:
If you plan to exhibit or visit CMM EXPO 2025, it’s advisable to contact the organizers in advance to apply for early bird pricing, booth construction services, or visitor registration.
