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 utilization. Recently, the boiler industry has accelerated 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 supporting the development of zero-carbon industrial parks. The 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.

In addition, several local governments are strengthening environmental oversight of boilers at the 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 metric tons.

To capture market trends, the 2026 edition will continue to showcase cutting-edge, high-efficiency boiler products and technologies, driving equipment upgrades and the transition toward green and low-carbon solutions. Confirmed boiler exhibitors include 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 years, ISH China & CIHE has established itself as a key sourcing platform with broad industry influence, attracting buyers from a wide range of sectors seeking HVAC products and solutions. High-energy-demand industries such as food and beverage, textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, chemicals, automotive, pharmaceuticals and industrial parks have consistently relied on the fair to discover innovative solutions tailored to their needs. This reflects the exhibition’s role in addressing the growing 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 continued to increase. The 2025 edition welcomed 77,468 visitors from 59 countries and regions, highlighting the event’s worldwide appeal.

Looking ahead, the fair will step up efforts to strengthen engagement with both domestic and international audiences. By working closely with representatives from energy management and procurement departments, the show aims to build stronger connections between suppliers and buyers. It will also offer integrated services, including consultation, networking and purchasing, to support effective collaboration.
