Shandong Jinan International Heating Exhibition

The Exhibition Value of the Jinan International Heating Expo

• The Jinan Heating Expo is one of the largest and longest-running specialized events in China’s northern heating sector. Since its inception in 1999, it has successfully held 27 editions and has been accredited by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), earning widespread recognition as a leading industry benchmark and a pivotal platform driving the transition to clean energy in northern China. Co-organized by the Shandong Provincial Gas and Heating Association together with heating industry associations from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, and two other municipalities, the expo leverages Shandong’s strategic position as a key region for clean heating in northern China, serving as a vital platform for connecting global supply-chain resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological advancements, and fostering high‑quality industry growth.
• The core value of participation lies in its unparalleled regional market reach and its comprehensive, end-to-end industry coverage. In 2025, the event attracted 956 exhibiting companies and 68,376 professional visitors, with projections for 2026 indicating further expansion to 1,100 exhibitors, an exhibition space of 84,000 square meters, and over 60,000 professional attendees. The buyer base includes heating utilities, thermal engineering firms, real estate developers, architectural design institutes, HVAC distributors, and government procurement agencies, providing exhibitors with a strategic gateway to engage directly with key decision‑makers in northern China’s heating market.
• The expo has established a one-stop commercial platform spanning the entire heating value chain. Exhibits cover a full range of products, including boilers, wall‑mounted heaters, heat pumps, new‑energy solutions, smart heating systems, underfloor heating pipes, pumps, valves, comfort‑control systems, and waste‑heat recovery equipment. Specialized zones have been curated, such as the Smart Heating Systems Pavilion, the Urban Clean Heating Zone, the Heat Pump Dual‑Supply Area, and the GDGCC Boiler Cluster, collectively highlighting advanced smart heating technologies and integrated solutions incorporating IoT and big‑data management.
• The expo aligns closely with three major industry trends—carbon neutrality, smart heating, and clean energy—establishing a robust hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. In response to the demands of the “dual carbon” strategy, new‑old kinetic energy conversion, and industrial structure upgrading, the expo conducts in-depth exploration of the heating value chain, achieving full coverage of equipment and ancillary components across residential, commercial, and industrial heating sectors. Concurrent activities include policy briefings, technical exchanges, and supply‑demand matchmaking sessions, paving the way for emerging tracks in clean heating, smart heating, and zero‑carbon thermal systems by 2026.
• For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway to penetrate the northern market, connect with regional resources, and showcase innovative capabilities. The event brings together elite buyers from more than 30 countries worldwide, with a cumulative attendance exceeding 1.2 million over the past two decades, representing 400,000 relevant purchasing entities. Leveraging an extensive database covering the Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta, Northeast Three Provinces, and Pearl River Delta regions, the expo enables precise audience targeting and effective market promotion. Exhibiting companies can use this platform to access core northern procurement networks, seizing early opportunities in the intelligent, clean, and green transformation of the heating industry.
