  • 200,500+ square meters of total exhibition space
  • 12 countries represented among exhibitors: Belarus, China, India, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Russia, Turkey, UAE, Uzbekistan, and Japan

A World-Class Venue with Expansive Space

The choice of Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center as the venue for CTT Expo 2026 reflects the event’s commitment to providing an exceptional experience for both exhibitors and visitors. This state-of-the-art exhibition complex, located at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road and Volokolamskoye Highway, offers world-class infrastructure and convenient accessibility.

For the 2026 edition, CTT Expo will command an impressive footprint:

  • Pavilion 1: Halls 1, 2, and 3
  • Pavilion 2: Halls 5, 7, and 8
  • Full outdoor exhibition area in front of the Crocus Expo IEC

The total exhibition area will exceed 112,500 square meters, showcasing over 3,000 units of machinery covering every segment of the construction industry. To enhance the experience for both exhibitors and visitors, the 2026 edition will feature a segmented layout, with companies positioned according to their respective product groups.

The EXPO Synergy: Five Exhibitions, One Unprecedented Platform

One of the most distinctive features of CTT Expo is its integration into the broader EXPO synergy—a powerful collaboration of complementary industry exhibitions held simultaneously at Crocus Expo.

For 2026, the EXPO synergy brings together five major events under the single EXPO+ brand:

  • CTT Expo: Construction equipment and technologies (25th anniversary edition)
  • MINING CTT (Premiere 2026): Mining equipment and technologies
  • COMvex: Commercial vehicles and technologies
  • CTO Expo: Spare parts, automotive aftermarket, and service
  • Logistika Expo: Transport and warehouse logistics, technologies, and equipment

This unprecedented convergence creates a unique ecosystem for professional networking, with participants benefiting from an expanded flow of highly relevant visitors not only from construction but also from adjacent sectors represented at the co-located exhibitions.

The 2025 synergy achieved remarkable results:

  • 200,500 square meters of total exhibition space
  • 1,813 exhibitors from 11 countries
  • 75,569 visitors from 95 countries and 87 regions of Russia

According to official statistics, 91% of exhibitors highlight the exceptional efficiency and unique advantages of this synergy in attracting new clients. The consolidation enhances the effect of presence, expands the target audience, and enables companies to present a complete range of solutions across related industry segments.

Why CTT Expo Matters Now

The timing of the 2026 exhibition could not be more critical for the construction equipment industry. Several powerful factors are converging to reshape the sector and create unprecedented opportunities:

Massive Infrastructure Investment

According to the Russian Federation Government’s “2030 Infrastructure Development Plan,” Russia will invest heavily in transportation, energy, and urban construction over the coming years. The plan allocates 105-200 billion rubles (approximately $1.05-2 billion USD) for the period 2026-2030 to upgrade high-speed rail, Arctic ports, and other major infrastructure projects.

These investments will drive substantial demand for construction equipment across multiple sectors:

  • Transportation infrastructure: Highways, railways, bridges, and tunnels
  • Energy infrastructure: Power plants, pipelines, and transmission networks
  • Urban development: Housing, commercial construction, and municipal facilities
  • Industrial construction: Factories, warehouses, and processing facilities

Russia-China Strategic Partnership

Under the framework of comprehensive strategic partnership, Russia and China have deepened cooperation across multiple sectors. China has become Russia’s largest trading partner in construction machinery, with Chinese exports to Russia reaching $6.36 billion in 2024, a 5% increase, accounting for 12% of China’s total construction machinery exports.

For January-September 2025, Chinese construction machinery exports to Russia totaled $3.61 billion, maintaining Russia’s position as the largest destination market for Chinese construction machinery exports despite a slight year-on-year decline.

This strong trade relationship creates favorable conditions for both Chinese manufacturers seeking to expand in the Russian market and Russian buyers seeking reliable equipment supplies.

Market Transformation and New Opportunities

The Russian construction equipment market is undergoing significant transformation, with shifting supply chains and changing competitive dynamics creating opportunities for new players. According to industry analysts, Russian companies need to evolve from “equipment suppliers” to “comprehensive service providers,” offering complete solutions, optimized after-sales service, and robust parts supply systems to meet diverse customer requirements.

This evolution opens doors for companies that can provide not just equipment but also:

  • Comprehensive project solutions
  • Reliable maintenance and repair services
  • Efficient parts distribution
  • Operator training and technical support
  • Financing and leasing options
