Thailand is the premier gateway for hotpot expansion, currently commanding a 27% regional market share.

By exhibiting, you gain direct access to over 8,000 high-intent buyers and position your business to capture its share of a over $710 million market in 2026.

Why is Thailand the primary gateway for hotpot expansion in ASEAN?

Thailand has established itself as a premier regional hotpot hub, driven by a burgeoning middle class of 18 million consumers (26% of the population) and a network of over 4,000 hotpot establishments.

Bangkok serves as a critical testing ground where global brands leverage strong local preferences for spicy Mala, Korean army stew, and Japanese shabu-shabu. To meet sophisticated consumer demand for quality and tenderness, the market relies on premium beef imports, with Australia as the dominant supplier, followed by Brazil and the United States exports to Thailand.

Who are the 250+ global players exhibiting in 2026?
