ACRHP in Asia
It is safe to say that Asian OEMs dominate AC appliance manufacturing. Chinese titans such as Gree, Haier, Hisense and Midea are potent forces. Japanese giants such as Daikin, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Panasonic and Fujitsu are among the world’s largest OEMs in the ACRHP space. OEMs from South Korea including LG and Samsung are also forces to be reckoned with on the global stage. Finally, Bluestar is a rising star in AC manufacturing in South Asia, where the demand for AC is rapidly escalating. Other Asian countries play a role in the manufacturing infrastructure that supports the Asian ACRHP powerhouse.
The 2025 China Heat Pump Forum (CHPF) had the theme of “Promoting High-Quality Development of the Heat Pump Industry and Assisting in the Green Transformation of Economy and Society”. The conference was grandly held in Jinan, China, from July 29 to 31, hosted by the China Heat Pump Alliance (CHPA).
The “Copper Inside” exhibition at the Appliances & Electronics World Expo, also known as AWE2025, garnered a great deal of attention with its theme of “Copper Builds a Green Low-Carbon Life.” The critical importance of copper materials in appliance design was exemplified by two products: (1) the Casarte 100% full copper refrigerant tube air conditioner and (2) Midea’s R290 refrigerant SDCT heat exchanger technology.
Today the China Heat Pump Forum is an event global importance. It is the only global event that is 100 percent focused on heat pump technology, bringing together big HVACR appliance OEMs, successful startups focused on new heat pump technology, and policy makers and pioneers in new heat pump technologies from all over the world.
The Global Heat Pump Market Report draws on multiple research projects by both CHPA and ChinaIOL. It embodies the market research data and technical results accumulated over many years by the two parties. It systematically describes the current state of the global heat pump industry, elaborates on trends and predicts future developments. The report not only sets forth a global policy profile and technical standards but also analyzes local heat pump markets in Asia, Europe, North America and other regions, focusing on the development of the Chinese market.
