• Advancing healthcare solutions for a rapidly evolving market
• Exciting new features and expanded show highlights

26 February 2025, Singapore – Returning for its highly anticipated 11th edition, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2025 will take place from 10-12 September 2025 at BITEC, Bangkok. As Southeast Asia’s leading trade exhibition for the medical and healthcare sector, it continues to serve as a springboard for innovation, networking, and business growth

.
Featuring 1,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND highlights medical technologies, digital health solutions, diagnostics, MedTech manufacturing, connected healthcare and more, making it the premier platform for procurement and industry professionals to explore trends and business opportunities in Thailand and the region.

Addressing the Future of Healthcare in Southeast Asia
With rising wealth and evolving demographics reshaping healthcare demand across Southeast Asia, the region’s population is set to exceed 722 million by 2030. An ageing population, coupled with a growing middle class, is driving the need for high-quality, accessible, and specialised healthcare solutions. According to the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the proportion of people aged 60 and above in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is projected to reach 22.2 percent by 2050, placing significant pressure on healthcare systems and emphasising the urgent need for expanded infrastructure, aged care services, and preventive health solutions.

Despite the healthcare sector’s ongoing growth, demand continues to outpace supply. Several ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, face physician shortages, with physician-to-population ratios below global standards. This underscores the necessity for innovative alternatives such as digital health technologies, AI-driven diagnostics, and automation. While these technologies are helping to bridge gaps, sustained investment in facilities, workforce development, and healthcare innovation remains critical for long-term progress.

Since its inception in 2003, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND has provided a pivotal regional platform for industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and businesses to connect, collaborate, and implement solutions tailored to the region’s evolving healthcare needs. The three-day exhibition brings together stakeholders across the entire medical value chain, starting from patient care and clinical applications to distribution, advanced manufacturing, automation in MedTech, precision engineering, and new materials—ensuring a seamless integration of innovation from downstream to upstream.

Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Asia, highlighted: “The healthcare landscape in Southeast Asia is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by demographic shifts, increasing healthcare investment, and the rapid adoption of digital and MedTech innovations. As the industry expands, so too does MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND, evolving in tandem with these advancements to provide a critical platform for driving innovation, partnerships, and business growth.”

Under the broader MEDICARE ASIA portfolio which includes nine medical and healthcare exhibitions in Asia, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND is part of a strategically connected ecosystem of leading medical and healthcare trade fairs in Asia that reflect the dynamic shifts in the industry. “As a key event within the umbrella brand,

MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2025 reinforces its role in bridging global and regional stakeholders with innovative solutions, fostering cross-border collaboration, and addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities,” Ringling added.

This summit will bring together leading minds in digital health, covering AI diagnostics, smart hospitals, and health tech innovations that are redefining the future of digital healthcare.

Thailand’s Medical Hub: A strategic growth market for healthcare and MedTech
As one of Southeast Asia’s most advanced healthcare markets, Thailand is at the forefront of healthcare innovation and investment, making it a natural host for MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2025. Central to this transformation is the Thailand Medical Hub Policy (2025–2034)—a national initiative aimed at positioning the country as a leading global health centre. This comprehensive strategy focuses on enhancing medical services, research capabilities, and healthcare investment, solidifying Thailand’s role as a key destination for businesses participating in the exhibition.

MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2025 aligns with this vision by offering a platform for global and local stakeholders to collaborate on solutions that address the country’s growing healthcare needs, from MedTech innovation to infrastructure development and wellness-focused healthcare. With its diverse exhibitor lineup, insightful industry-led conferences, and unparalleled networking opportunities, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2025 is the event of choice for international manufacturers and suppliers, and healthcare professionals, businesses, innovators, and decision-makers to connect and explore business opportunities and collaboration in Southeast Asia’s dynamic healthcare sector.
