The fall trade show season is shaping up to be hot and exciting! This applies not only to MEDICA in Düsseldorf in mid-November, but also to MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND, for example. Its 11th edition will take place from September 10–12, 2025, at BITEC in Bangkok. As the region's leading medical and healthcare trade fair, it will showcase the latest developments in diagnostic and therapeutic medical care, digital networking in healthcare, and medical technology manufacturing, with over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries. New this year are the LaunchPad Zone for start-ups, the Community Care Zone focusing on nursing and rehabilitation, and the Medical Manufacturing Zone for production technologies.
The medical technology market in Thailand is growing at an above-average rate of around 7 percent annually and will increase in volume from just over €2 billion at present to around €3.7 billion over the next five years (source: Statista). "The healthcare landscape in Southeast Asia is undergoing profound change, driven by demographic shifts, rising healthcare investment, and the rapid introduction of digital and medical technology innovations. As the industry grows, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND is also growing into an important platform for innovation, partnerships, and good business," emphasizes Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Asia.
