HVACR World will return to Dubai from November 23 to 26, 2026, bringing together manufacturers, consultants, contractors, developers and facility operators to explore next-generation heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) technologies designed to improve energy efficiency, operational reliability and building performance.
Held at the Trade Centre Arena at Dubai World Trade Centre, the event will run alongside Big 5 Global and focus on energy-efficient systems and climate-responsive solutions for buildings and facilities across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA).
The exhibition comes amid growing demand for cooling solutions in Egypt and across the region, driven by urban expansion, infrastructure investment and the development of major construction and real estate projects.
Egypt’s air-conditioning market projected to reach $1.65 billion
According to TechSci Research, Egypt’s air-conditioner market was valued at approximately $1.12 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $1.65 billion by 2030. The outlook reflects the growing importance of efficient HVACR systems across the country’s construction, real estate and facilities management sectors.
HVACR World is expected to welcome more than 12,000 industry professionals, with over 100 exhibitors presenting more than 5,000 products and solutions spanning heating, cooling, refrigeration, ventilation, indoor air quality, smart controls and energy management.
Exhibitors from China, Egypt, India, Italy, Türkiye, Spain and South Korea, among other markets, will participate in the event, providing opportunities for industry professionals to explore technologies and connect with manufacturers and suppliers.
The exhibition is endorsed by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and ASHRAE Falcon Chapter.
Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President at dmg events, said HVACR systems play a central role in maintaining indoor comfort and supporting the long-term operating performance of buildings.
She added that major projects and mission-critical facilities across MEASA are driving demand for efficient and reliable systems as performance expectations and sustainability requirements continue to rise.
According to Expert Market Research, the regional HVACR market is forecast to reach $18.4 billion by 2030. Heijmans noted that meeting this growing demand will require closer collaboration among manufacturers and businesses across the HVACR value chain to deliver performance throughout buildings’ lifecycles.
Connecting the HVACR industry with next-generation building solutions
HVACR World will showcase technologies across air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, indoor air quality, building automation and climate controls, alongside building services engineering, heat exchangers, pumps and alternative energy equipment.
The solutions serve a wide range of applications across the built environment. Healthcare facilities require precise control of indoor conditions, while
