Informa Markets to advance healthcare industry

As a premier exhibition organiser, Informa Markets has been at the forefront of connecting industries and fostering growth by delivering impactful platforms—both online and offline—for businesses to network, collaborate, and unlock new opportunities. Among its flagship events, International Healthcare Week (IHW) 2025 stands out as a catalyst for driving sustainable growth and innovation in the health and wellness sector across the ASEAN region.

Ms. Rungphech Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director - ASEAN at Informa Markets, said that the health & wellness industry has experienced significant growth, fueled by rising global awareness of personal health and well-being. Businesses across the sector have seen consistent expansion, continually advancing technologies and innovations to meet evolving consumer needs.

"The health and wellness industry continues to thrive - both in business growth and human capital. As the organiser of International Healthcare Week 2025, we recognise this as a powerful opportunity for all players in the industry, including those in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology. This event presents an exceptional platform for producers and entrepreneurs - including Thai businesses - to explore new opportunities in the international market," said Rungphech.

New opportunities in ASEAN for Thai entrepreneurs

IHW 2025 offers Thai exhibitors a valuable opportunity to promote their businesses in Malaysia, one of Asia's leading health and wellness destinations.

Malaysia's healthcare market is projected to grow from USD 575.6 billion in 2024 to over USD 939 billion by 2032. Revenue from medical tourism is also expected to reach USD 1.59 billion during the same period.
