Leading boiler brands paving the way for low-carbon transformation
Since its inception, ISH China & CIHE has witnessed the transformation of the boiler industry from traditional coal-fired systems to clean energy sources, along with the adoption of innovative technologies such as heat pumps, smart heating systems, and waste heat utilisation. Recently, the boiler industry is rapidly advancing its green and low-carbon transition, making strides toward achieving the Chinese government’s dual carbon goals.
In July 2025, the government issued a document to support the development of zero-carbon industrial parks. This initiative encourages these parks to make full use of thermal energy resources such as biomass, nuclear power, solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, and industrial waste heat to create clean and low-carbon heating systems[1].
Furthermore, several local governments are actively strengthening the environmental oversight of boilers at both provincial and city levels. For example, Zhongshan city in Guangdong has phased out small-scale power station boilers, as well as aging and inefficient industrial boilers that have been operating for more than 15 years. In 2024, the city’s biomass-fired boilers reduced annual carbon dioxide emissions by 6,179 tonnes[2].
To capture market trends, the 2026 edition will continue to showcase cutting-edge, high-efficiency boiler products and technologies, driving the upgrading of equipment and the transition towards green and low-carbon solutions. Confirmed boiler exhibitors are as follows: Devotion, Fangkuai, Kenuo, Vanhord Mrcan, Forest, Blau Nashorn, Palerton, Kaaniche, Rosht, Chenneng, Runpaq, Pureone, Helmsburg, Sanli and Ji Bei Er.
An efficient procurement and networking platform for the industrial heating sector
For 30 incredible years, ISH China & CIHE has established itself as a key sourcing platform with board influence, attracting buyers from a wide range of industries seeking HVAC products and solutions. Industries with high energy demands, such as food and beverage, textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, chemicals, automotive, pharmaceuticals and industrial parks have continuously relied on the fair to discover innovative solutions tailored to their needs. This has reflected the exhibition’s role in addressing the rising demand for efficient and sustainable heating solutions in the industrial heating market.
With the exhibition’s steadily growing global influence and the strength of the ISH brand’s international network, overseas participation has regularly increased. The 2025 edition welcomed 77,468 visitors from 59 countries and regions, highlight the event's worldwide appeal.
Looking ahead, the fair will ramp up its efforts to bolster the engagement of both local and international audiences. By working closely with representatives from energy management and procurement departments, the show aims to create stronger links between suppliers and buyers. Moreover, it offers integrated services, including consultation, networking and purchasing, to promote effective collaboration.
