As Southeast Asia accelerates its transition toward cleaner energy and electrified industrial processes, the World Electric Heating Industry Exhibition (WEHE) 2026 – Thailand is set to emerge as a key regional platform for innovation, technology exchange, and cross-border collaboration in the electric heating sector.
Scheduled to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, the exhibition will be held concurrently with the ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo, creating a powerful synergy between electric heating technologies, smart energy systems, and next-generation energy storage solutions.
Strengthening Southeast Asia's Electrification and Energy Transition
With the theme “Green Power, Heating the Future,” WEHE 2026 Thailand aims to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient heating technologies across Southeast Asia. As industries move away from fossil fuel-based thermal systems toward electrified and low-carbon alternatives, electric heating is becoming a critical component in the region's industrial decarbonization strategies.
The exhibition is expected to attract 600+ exhibitors from more than 30 countries and regions and over 25,000 professional visitors, including industrial buyers, technology innovators, energy developers, and manufacturing leaders.
By co-locating with the ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo, the event will create a comprehensive ecosystem covering the entire energy value chain—from power generation and storage to intelligent heating applications.
A Strategic Platform for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
For the advanced manufacturing community, WEHE 2026 Thailand will showcase a wide spectrum of technologies supporting industrial efficiency, electrification, and smart manufacturing. Key product categories include:
• Electric heating elements and materials such as resistance wires, heating tubes, graphene heating films, and ceramic heaters
• Industrial electric heating equipment including furnaces, induction heating systems, and high-temperature sintering solutions
• Smart household and commercial electric heating appliances
• Integrated energy technologies such as photovoltaic-electric heating systems, heat pumps, and energy-saving control systems
More than 1,000 innovative technologies are expected to be presented, highlighting advancements in low-energy heating systems, intelligent temperature control, and high-performance heating materials designed for demanding industrial environments.
Thailand: A Gateway to Southeast Asia's Growing Energy Market
Thailand's rapidly expanding energy demand and ambitious sustainability targets make it a strategic location for industry collaboration. Industrial electricity consumption accounts for nearly half of the country's total power demand, while regional initiatives around carbon neutrality are driving the adoption of cleaner and more efficient heating technologies.
By bringing together global manufacturers, technology providers, and Southeast Asian buyers, WEHE 2026 aims to facilitate technology transfer, promote industrial upgrading, and strengthen regional supply chain cooperation.
The exhibition is organized by Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group in collaboration with regional industry organizations and energy institutions, creating a trusted international platform for business matchmaking, technology exchange, and market expansion.
Enabling Cross-Industry Collaboration
The co-location with the ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo further enhances the value proposition for participants. Together, the events will highlight the convergence of electrification, energy storage, and intelligent thermal management—key pillars supporting the future of smart manufacturing and sustainable industrial development in Asia-Pacific.
For technology leaders, manufacturers, and energy solution providers looking to expand into Southeast Asia's rapidly growing markets, WEHE 2026 Thailand offers a timely opportunity to showcase innovations, build partnerships, and explore emerging business opportunities in the region's evolving energy landscape.
