BEIJING, China, 30 January 2023: ISH China & CIHE – China’s international trade fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Sanitation & Home Comfort Systems – will take place from May 11 to 13 at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall), in Beijing.

Making the announcement through a Press release, the organisers, Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and CIEC GL events (Beijing) International Exhibition Company, said the show will once again present fairgoers with trend-setting HVAC, plumbing, smart heating and home comfort technologies and products in the Chinese and wider Asian markets. The upcoming edition will continue to home in on the “Energy”, “Water” and “Life” themes, which are in line with China’s national development strategies, the organisers said. In total, the fair is expected to welcome over 1,300 exhibitors across 106,800 square metres of exhibition space, the organisers added.

The ‘carbon peak’ and ‘carbon neutrality’ policies, highlighted in the Chinese government’s 14th Five-Year Plan, underlines a commitment by the country to generate energy through reform and innovation, the organisers said. These new reforms offer strong prospects not only to China’s renewable energy and energy storage markets but also inherently changes China’s modern energy systems while bringing new opportunities to the HVAC industry, particularly for the heat pumps market, the organisers said. To adhere to the government’s initiatives and energy infrastructure optimisation targets, manufacturers are actively developing energy-efficient HVAC solutions, specifically refining heat pumps and revolutionary energy storage technologies to meet the stringent carbon emission regulations, the organisers said. By recognising the benefits in the efficiency and flexibility of heat pump technologies, paired with the central government’s goal to strengthen domestic capabilities in all core energy storage technologies, intelligent and green HVAC technologies will continue to be key development focuses for manufacturers, the organisers said.

Apart from the booming heat pump market in China, according to the 2022 China Heat Pump Industry Development Report by the Heat Pump Committee of China Energy Conservation Association, China is currently the largest heat pump exporter in the world, the organisers said. In the first seven months of 2022, China’s exports of air-source heat pumps increased by 63.7% year-on-year1 .A recent report, titled the ‘Future of Heat Pumps’, by International Energy Agency, estimated that by 2030, total sales of heat pumps in the EU will reach seven million units2 . With lucrative opportunities for domestic and overseas markets, renowned brands worldwide require an effective platform to spark new business opportunities, the organisers said. Brands to participate in ISH China & CIHE 2023 include AO Smith, ARCIO, BDR, Beiming Tianshi, DAB, Danfoss, Devotion, Dooch, GREE, Grundfos, Haier, Hailin, Kiturami, Koate, Leo, Micoe, Midea, New Energy, NORTIZ, OUTES, PHILIPS, Phnix, Ploumeter, Rinnai, Shengneng, Shiteng, Siemens, Tongfang, Unbeatable, Vanward and Wilo, the organisers added.

According to the organisers, specialised display areas, zones and pavilions will be a major highlight at ISH China & CIHE. For over two decades, the fair’s thematic zones have become the key component to its success, the organisers said. The 2023 edition will again highlight the returning German Pavilion, Overseas Area, Water Pump Zone, Floor Heating and Cooling System Area and Clean Energy District Heating Area, the organisers said. The 2023 fair will also feature the new Minibox Service Area, located in the Overseas Area. It is a business matching platform at ISH China & CIHE, which aims to bridge domestic suppliers with overseas buyers who cannot physically attend the fair, the organisers said. Running throughout the full duration of the fair, the Minibox Service Area will serve as a marketing tool for local suppliers to promote their latest innovations and technologies abroad, the organisers said.

ISH China & CIHE’s mission is to showcase some of the world’s most energy-efficient HVAC solutions, the organisers said, adding that they are bringing the mission to the fore through their cooperation with Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) of the Embassy of Canada to China. Canada is renowned for its harsh winters, with many regions reaching sub-arctic climates, the organisers said. To combat the extreme climate, not too dissimilar to the winters in China, Canadian HVAC manufacturers will showcase the latest additive manufacturing technologies and applications in Canada, the organisers said. TCS will group their members in a pavilion to expand their overseas market, and to boost the development for companies in the Chinese HVAC industry, the organisers said.

As an integral part of ISH China & CIHE, a series of concurrent events will be held during the fair, with many well-known HVAC industry experts present to exchange ideas and introduce technologies that will drive the industry forward, the organisers said. Responding to a series of national policy goals, specifically on peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, ISH China & CIHE will offer various summits, seminars and conferences, focusing on the fair’s three core themes: “Energy” (the latest heating solutions paired with renewable energy sources), “Water” (water pumps, valves and fittings) and “Life” (home comfort products and solutions), the organisers said. These events will create a comprehensive platform for fairgoers to expand their knowledge through learning more about the latest industry trends, they added.

According to the organisers, some of the highlighted topics featured at the fair include:

  • The China International HVAC Congress (iHVAC)
  • China Innovative Heating Products and Technologies
  • Fresh Air Systems
  • Home Comfort Intelligent Development Forum
  • Air Source Heat Pump Heating Technologies
  •  FCH Cooling & Heating System Technology Forum
