In February 2026, Aquaflame, the highly anticipated global engineering exhibition for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and sanitary ware, was held in Moscow, Russia. As Russia's largest international comprehensive engineering solutions exhibition, Aquaflame has enjoyed a successful 30-year history. It not only gathers cutting-edge technologies and products in heating, water supply, wastewater treatment, and swimming pools, but also builds a new industrial ecosystem that promotes continuous exchange and interaction among manufacturers, trading companies, and industry experts throughout Russia. This year's exhibition continued its broad industry coverage, showcasing domestic and industrial engineering equipment across nine product categories, including heating equipment, water supply equipment, gas supply equipment, pipe fittings and valves, instrumentation and automation systems, engineering installation services, professional installation tools, autonomous and renewable energy systems, and professional pool and spa solutions. It provided exhibitors and visitors with a comprehensive and multi-level platform for exchange and cooperation.
The purpose of this trip to Russia to attend the exhibition was to gain in-depth insights into the latest demands and technological trends in the Russian and surrounding markets. Through several days of professional observation and exchange, the company delegation members gained a profound understanding of the industry changes in the engineering equipment sector and summarized the following significant trends:
1. More Refined Exhibition Area Division: Ventilation Equipment Dedicated to a Separate Zone, HVAC and Air Source Heat Pumps Displayed Separately. Compared to previous editions, a major highlight of this exhibition is the significantly improved level of refinement in the exhibition area division. The traditional HVAC area has been further subdivided, with ventilation equipment now having its own dedicated exhibition area for the first time, showcasing a full range of products from industrial-grade large-scale ventilation systems to residential fresh air systems. Simultaneously, new energy equipment such as air source heat pumps have also been separated from the front-end heating area, forming an independent exhibition section. This change not only reflects the market's increasing emphasis on air quality and the utilization of new energy sources but also signifies that the professional specialization within the HVAC industry is reaching a new level.
2. Strong Demand for Instantaneous Water Heaters Leads to a Significant Increase in Exhibitors. A very noticeable trend at this exhibition was the substantial increase in the number of companies specializing in instantaneous water heaters. Whether it was instantaneous electric water heaters, rapid hot water faucets, or instantaneous heat exchange equipment for industrial applications, all attracted a large number of professional visitors who stopped to inquire. This phenomenon indicates that in Russia and surrounding markets, efficient, convenient, and energy-saving instantaneous heating solutions are experiencing strong market demand, becoming a new engine for industry growth.

3. Chinese Brands Achieve Significant Penetration and Expanding Influence. Throughout the exhibition hall, Chinese brands are ubiquitous. From core components to complete equipment, from basic piping to intelligent control systems, the penetration rate of Made in China has seen a qualitative leap compared to the past. More and more Chinese exhibitors are not only bringing cost-effective products but also showcasing their latest independently developed technologies and system solutions. With their reliable quality, advanced technology, and comprehensive services, Chinese brands are winning the trust and cooperation of an increasing number of Russian and international professional buyers, and their brand influence continues to expand in the Russian market.
