Across the world, various industry sectors such as construction, HVAC, and energy are adopting new development models to address challenges posed by rapidly evolving market conditions. These challenges include adapting to constant changes in the climate and steadily increasing market demand, as well as leveraging technological innovations.
On the other hand, more opportunities are presented as the move towards sustainability continues to progress. In China, for instance, the market is actively involved in the refurbishment of existing buildings and urban infrastructure, encouraged by favorable policies from the government. Together, these elements are stimulating innovation and enhancing the vitality of the local market.
China's 14th Five-Year Plan, unveiled in 2022, sets a clear goal to undertake energy-saving renovations on over 350 million sqm of existing buildings and to construct more than 50 million sqm of ultra-low and near-zero energy buildings. It also sets a target for the renewable energy substitution rate in urban buildings to reach 8% by 2025[1]. In March of this year, the government introduced several policy measures focused on consumer goods and equipment renewal, encouraging the update of HVAC systems[2]. As the benefits of the global green transformation become increasingly evident, the HVAC industry is presented with new opportunities amidst the challenges.
With support from government policy, the HVAC markets in China and Asia are gearing up for fresh developments. To better align companies’ purchasing strategies and help the industry capitalise on business opportunities, ISH China & CIHE is set to mark a new beginning in the early spring of next year. The exhibition will significantly enhance its display structure, positioning itself as the industry’s premier event of the year. It will continue to provide a professional platform for businesses to showcase innovative technologies and products, promoting their strengths to the market.
On another note, as a member of the Messe Frankfurt ISH global network, the fair has cultivated many global industry connections over the years. For example, the 2024 exhibition drew 73,579 visitors from 42 different countries and regions, offering exhibitors extensive opportunities for cooperation and boosting their global competitiveness. Like in previous years, the 2025 show will continue to utilise its extensive network to invite industry professionals from around the world. This collaborative strategy allows the fair to work alongside Chinese industry stakeholders to jointly tackle opportunities and challenges.
Presenting diversified solutions with new perspective
ISH China & CIHE is always keenly attuned to market changes. Acknowledging the complexity and uniqueness of application scenarios which in turn heightens the demand for diversified solutions, the 2025 exhibition will be organised into five key sectors:
- Heating solutions
For many years, the exhibition has been emphasising the technological advancement of the heating sector, fostering clean, comfortable, innovative and diversified development. The heating solutions sector will concentrate on a variety of components including boilers, heat pumps, air conditioners, water heaters, electric heaters, floor heating, radiators, fan coil units, smart heating systems and industrial heating. This sector will feature a range of technologies and products that align closely with market demands for more comfortable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly heating solutions, thereby driving new developments in the industry. - Energy solutions
Energy serves as a fundamental pillar for modern human society. Amidst a rapidly evolving global energy governance, China, the world’s largest energy consumer, is spearheading the creation of energy solutions around the principles of innovation, coordination, green initiatives, openness and collaboration. The energy solutions sector aims to promote the development of the global energy sector by showcasing solutions that integrate and optimise various energy sources in a sustainable and efficient manner. Showcases will include integrated energy management, renewable energy, energy and heat storage, hydrogen, solar & biomass energy and meters & measuring. - Water solutions
The water solutions sector, a vital segment within HVAC, air conditioning, heat pumps, and home comfort systems, will feature an array of equipment including water pumps, piping, tubes and fittings, valves, and water supply and drainage equipment. This sector aims to bring together leading domestic and international companies, creating a one-stop sourcing and promotional platform for the entire water solutions industry chain. - Comfort solutions
ISH China & CIHE remains true to the needs of the domestic market by continuing its emphasis on the original “Life” sector. The new comfort solutions sector will concentrate on products essential for enhancing living environments such as five-constant systems, multi-coupled systems, fresh air systems, water purification and air purification. By highlighting these areas, the sector is set to drive a deeper level of innovative development within the sphere of comfortable home systems and comprehensive solutions across China and Asia. This focus ensures that the sector addresses both current and emerging needs for healthier and more sustainable living environments. - Installation & intelligence
To actively respond to the industry’s call for digitisation and new installation solutions, the newly debuted installation & intelligence sector will gather solutions for smart home, sensors and controllers, software and digitisation, installation tools and fasteners as well as tools for repair and detection.
