RACC2026 Opens in Hangzhou, Bringing International Buyers to Refrigeration Suppliers

The 2026 International Air Conditioning, Ventilation, Refrigeration and Cold Chain Exhibition (RACC2026) opened at the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center on October 22, 2026. Covering 30,000 square meters, the exhibition brings together refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation, heat pumps, cold chain systems, data centers and energy storage thermal management.

The event has attracted professional visitors from more than 100 countries and regions to source compressors and related components, placing international procurement at the center of its relevance to refrigeration suppliers.

For component suppliers, the exhibition's breadth could create opportunities to discuss requirements across several applications in one venue. Buyers sourcing for refrigeration equipment, heat pumps or thermal management systems may need different specifications, so the commercial value of these meetings will depend on how closely suppliers' products match individual project needs.

The immediate opportunity is therefore in sourcing discussions and supplier evaluation. Attendance from more than 100 countries and regions indicates broad international reach, but does not by itself establish the volume of orders or the scale of subsequent exports. Converting that reach into business will depend on product suitability, commercial terms and delivery arrangements.

For the refrigeration supply chain, the next development to watch is whether exhibition inquiries progress into technical evaluations, orders and repeat purchasing. That progression would provide a clearer measure of the event's contribution to overseas business than visitor reach alone.
