📊 Procurement Intelligence: European Buyer Evaluation Timeline

According to AUMA, industrial buyers typically take 6-12 months to evaluate suppliers after Hannover Messe. Understanding this timeline is critical for exhibitors.

• Weeks 1-6: Buyer backlogs, no evaluation. Do not expect responses.
• Weeks 7-14: Initial online verification – updated directory profiles are critical.
• Weeks 15-24: Internal alignment – silent but active evaluation.
• Months 6-12: Serious contract discussions for complex purchases.

Action for exhibitors: Maintain a permanent directory listing so buyers find you during silent evaluation – not just during the fair week.
