Asia Heating and Ventilation, hot water, drying, drying and heat Pump Industry Expo 2026

About the fair

As the global energy landscape shifts and China's 'dual-carbon' goals enter a deeper phase, clean heating and cooling have become an important pillar of the energy transition. In 2026 many regions actively implemented supportive policies with impressive results — Xi'an added 10 million sq m of geothermal heating, and Shaanxi's new distributed-energy capacity reached 15 million kW — while higher national efficiency standards and expanding green-certificate trading continued to raise clean-energy penetration in heating. With policy and market momentum, 2026 is a 'year of deepening' the clean heating transition. North and south markets show clear differentiation: the north deepens the transformation of existing resources, relying on biomass heating, while the south posts positive growth and has become a main driver, with smart-technology adoption reshaping the industry around 'comfortable heating + low-carbon emission reduction.'

Planning the trip

• Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
• Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
• Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
• Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
• Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.
