Welcome to ISH China & CIHE

Clean Comfortable Innovative

Part of Messe Frankfurt’s globally recognised ISH brand, ISH China & CIHE –  China International Trade Fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning, Sanitation, Home Comfort & Urban Renewal Equipment and Technology, has evolved alongside the industry for over three decades, since its debut in 1996. Today, it is one of the leading annual exhibitions for the global HVAC and home comfort supply chain, as well as a primary venue for new product launches.

China’s “Dual Carbon” strategy and urban renewal policies are creating new demand across the heating industry. With extensive expertise in low-carbon heating, strong global connectivity, and trade-friendly policies, China is well positioned to build significant international partnerships and create new opportunities for green development.

In addition, the country’s 15  Five-Year Plan (2026 – 2030) promotes “quality homes” through refurbishment and targeted upgrades. It also supports green urban development, improvements to energy-intensive public buildings and infrastructure, the renewal of ageing heating systems, and the wider adoption of metered heating.

A well-received event

Utilising the global resources of the ISH brand and Messe Frankfurt’s digital services infrastructure, the 2026 edition welcomed 76,573 visitors from across 81 countries and regions, including Germany, Italy, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan. 

A comprehensive seminar profile

More than 60 professional concurrent industry events. (Industry experts converge to exchange state-of-the-art technologies, foster industry development.)                                         

A strong line-up of global players

Throughout the three-day fair, along with 1,030 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions who showcased the latest in low-carbon and environmentally friendly HVAC products and technologies. 

A marketplace for technical achievements

Shaped by current policy and industry trends, ISH China & CIHE 2027 will focus on five key sectors: Heating solutions, Energy solutions, Water solutions, Comfort solutions, and Installation & intelligence. The exhibition will bring together end-to-end solutions and urban renewal technologies to drive continued growth across the sector and open new market opportunities for participants.

Participants’ comments

“With its specialist focus and global resources, ISH China & CIHE is Asia’s leading platform for the heating supply chain. It allows us to showcase our expertise in clean heating, integrated solar-storage-thermal systems and solar heat pumps, while connecting us with international partners to boost our brand visibility. Over a decade of participation has helped us build lasting client relationships and deliver flagship projects across China, including Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai and several heating projects in Xizang and Xinjiang.”

“This is Bitzer’s third time exhibiting, though I have attended as a visitor for over ten editions. With more international brands committing to the show as exhibitors, the high cost-effectiveness of Chinese technology is increasingly evident. This healthy competition drives faster innovation, enabling all participants to grow in the market and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Over its 30 years, this show has amplified China’s heating industry moving from follower to front-runner, and Bitzer is ready to help define the global blueprint for zero-carbon heating.”

“ISH China & CIHE is one of the country’s largest annual industry events. As an emerging company, our major goal in exhibiting was to raise our profile in the sector and demonstrate the smart heating products and solutions we have developed. The exhibition drew many visitors, and I was always busy presenting our technologies, discussing industry trends and exchanging insights with attendees. Overall, the event met our expectations and fulfilled our strategic objectives.”

“We have seen ISH China & CIHE expand greatly since our first exhibit in 2014. For us, the standout factor – and the reason we keep returning – is the opportunity to meet key buyers in person, which digital channels alone cannot replicate. Having attended ISH shows in both China and Germany for many years, I remain convinced that there is no substitute for ISH when it comes to launching new products and building brand recognition.”

“Visiting the fair for the first time, I was very impressed by the innovations and the Chinese companies I met. I came seeking high-quality products for the Pakistani market, such as heaters and connectors, and was pleased with the standards and attractive prices I found. I would be happy to return in the future."

“My primary goal at this show is to meet new contacts and suppliers, particularly for high‑quality pipes and air‑conditioners, while gaining insight into China’s latest technological advancements. I am identifying technologies that we can bring back to our home market and have already made several valuable connections. I am thoroughly enjoying the experience and would be delighted to attend again next year.”

“For three decades, this fair has followed the development of China’s heating sector from traditional systems to today's energy efficient solutions. It remains not only a premier networking platform for HVAC professionals, but also a benchmark industry event for Asia and beyond. Organised by the CDHA under the theme ‘Building a New-Type Heating System’, our forum brought together industry leaders, technical experts and manufacturers for productive dialogue and exchange. These discussions provided attendees with the practical insights needed to advance both their own businesses and the wider HVAC sector.”

“2026 marks a double milestone, with the Heating and Radiator Committee of China Construction Metal Structure Association celebrating its 40th anniversary and ISH China & CIHE celebrating its 30th, reflecting nearly three decades of collaboration between our organisations. The 2026 show covered the entire industry supply chain: heat sources, transmission and distribution systems, and end-use applications such as heat pumps, new energy solutions, and radiators. We will continue to harness the exhibition's international standing to promote China's leading brands on the global stage.”

“We hosted several heat pump-focused events, led by the China-Europe Forum on the Heat Pump Industry. These gatherings encouraged collaboration between the Chinese and European heat pump sectors while identifying emerging trends and new applications. ISH China & CIHE’s reputation ensured a substantial turnout of trade visitors and a productive networking environment. I also collaborated with the fair to guide an international media delegation to several leading brands, further increasing the global influence and visibility of China’s heat pump sector.”

“By bringing together leading companies, research institutes and industry leaders, the fair acts as a vital platform for aligning on key issues, exchanging cutting-edge technologies, and advancing industry standards. Moving forward, we will further leverage these product showcases and forums to encourage collaboration and the adoption of green technologies, ensuring the heating sector continues to advance toward greater efficiency, energy savings and low-carbon development.”
