Medical Fair Thailand Bangkok

Since its launch in 2003, Medical Fair Thailand in Bangkok has been the leading international trade fair for medicine and healthcare in Southeast Asia. It is held biennially at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), alternating with Medical Fair Asia in Singapore. The event is organized by Messe Düsseldorf Asia Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Messe Düsseldorf, which also organizes the world-renowned MEDICA in Düsseldorf and developed the successful concept behind this platform. Admission is reserved exclusively for trade visitors and free of charge, clearly positioning the fair as a B2B meeting point.

The fair serves as a central platform for the entire medical and healthcare industry in Thailand and across the ASEAN region, covering the full value chain of healthcare — from high-tech solutions for operating rooms to rehabilitation and home care. Its focus lies on state-of-the-art medical technology and hospital equipment such as imaging systems (MRI, CT, X-ray), ultrasound and laboratory devices, operating tables, hospital beds, surgical instruments, and consumables. A strong emphasis is also placed on electromedicine, health IT, and digital health. Topics such as electronic health records, hospital information systems, telemedicine, mobile applications, artificial intelligence in diagnostics, and predictive analytics highlight the dynamic digital transformation of Southeast Asia’s healthcare sector.

In addition, components, materials, and services for manufacturers and suppliers play an important role. Exhibits include medical plastics, coatings, sensors, cleanroom technologies, as well as OEM and contract manufacturing services. The portfolio is complemented by solutions for rehabilitation, elderly care, and preventive health — ranging from prosthetics and mobility aids to accessible care concepts and wellness offerings.

Particular attention is given to co-located events such as Medical Lab Thailand, focusing on laboratory technology, diagnostics, and reagents, and Rehacare Thailand, specializing in rehabilitation, inclusion, and nursing care. With more than 20 national pavilions, a strong international exhibitor presence, and a diverse professional visitor base, the fair has a distinctly global orientation.

Beyond the exhibition, Medical Fair Thailand features an extensive program of conferences and forums with expert lectures, case studies, and panel discussions. Topics include wearable technologies, cybersecurity in hospitals, artificial intelligence, and MedTech innovations. Three dedicated zones further structure the event: the Community Care Zone for rehabilitation and nursing technologies, the LaunchPad Zone for start-ups and innovations, and the Medical Manufacturing Zone for production, components, and materials.

By combining business opportunities with knowledge exchange, Medical Fair Thailand has established itself not only as a trade platform but also as a hub for innovation in one of the world’s fastest-growing healthcare markets. It brings together thematic breadth and professional specialization, making it a key meeting point for anyone looking to enter or strengthen their presence in Southeast Asia’s healthcare sector.

The Medical Fair Thailand takes place biennially, and therefore for the 12th time previsibly in September 2027 in Bangkok.
