From March 30 to April 2, 2025, the Shanghai International Hotel Supplies Expo (HOTELEX), which has attracted the attention of the global hotel and catering industry, will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. This exhibition focuses on the trend of intelligent and efficient equipment. The exhibition scale will reach 400,000 square meters, and it is expected to attract more than 300,000 professional visitors from channels such as hotel and catering, supermarket retail, leisure catering, food and beverage trade, catering investment, tourism and leisure to visit and conduct business exchanges, with more than 3,000 exhibitors. The exhibits will cover all aspects of the hotel and catering industry supply chain more comprehensively, and strive to create a more open and efficient communication platform for global catering companies. Among them, core power technologies such as coffee machine motors, coffee machine water pump motors and grinder motors have become the focus, attracting many manufacturers to display cutting-edge solutions and promote the iterative upgrade of hotel and catering equipment.
Technological innovation: coffee equipment motors move towards high efficiency and silence

   With the increase in consumer demand for the quality of freshly ground coffee, the performance of the coffee machine power system directly affects the user experience. At this exhibition, many companies will launch coffee machine motor products optimized for commercial scenarios, such as motor modules using brushless DC technology, which increase efficiency by 20-25%, reduce energy consumption by 20%, and support 0.1 second precise start and stop, meeting the stringent requirements of business occasions such as hotels, boutique coffee shops, and offices for equipment stability.

   In the field of coffee machine water pump motors, Honlite factories replace foreign water pump motor solutions with batch spot products, and significantly improve the quiet experience of hotel/guest room/office coffee machines by adapting to the extraction requirements of different coffee machine/cola machine water pumps, and the operating noise is less than 50 decibels.

  In the grinding process, the innovation of the grinder motor is also eye-catching. The high-torque, high-power motor is equipped with a temperature-controlled fan blade cooling system, which can work continuously for 8-24 hours without serious attenuation, and cooperates with the digital control system to achieve 0.1mm level adjustment of coarseness and fineness, helping chain catering brands to standardize production efficiency.
Application scenarios: Full coverage from high-end hotels to chain restaurants

   According to the organizers of the exhibition, the motor technology exhibited this year has been widely used in fully automatic coffee machines in high-end hotels such as Hilton and Marriott, as well as commercial grinders of brands such as Luckin Coffee and Starbucks. In addition, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has become a new trend. Some exhibitors will demonstrate solutions to monitor the operating status of coffee machine motors and predict faults through the cloud to help hotels reduce equipment maintenance costs.
Market Outlook: Demand for coffee equipment motors in Asia-Pacific surges

   QYResearch data shows that the global coffee machine motor market size is expected to exceed US$900 million in 2025, with China and Southeast Asia leading the growth rate, with an annual compound growth rate of 14%. With the rise of the integration of new tea drinks and boutique coffee, the demand for customized grinder motors and coffee machine pump motors continues to rise, driving the industry towards high precision and high durability.

   The 2025 Shanghai Hotel Supplies Exhibition is not only a technology display platform, but will also hold a "Coffee Equipment Motor Energy Efficiency Standard Seminar" and release the industry's first "Commercial Coffee Machine Motor Kinetic Energy White Paper". From upgrading the quality of a cup of coffee to innovating the hotel service experience, the advancement of core power technology is quietly changing the industry ecology. In March 2025, the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center will focus on the forefront of coffee machine motor technology and explore the efficient and intelligent future of hotel and catering equipment!
