Event overview
HoReCA Expo Kazakhstan 2027 is the country's specialist hospitality trade exhibition, bringing equipment, food service products and operating solutions for hotels, restaurants, cafés and bars to IEC EXPO in Astana.
The 2027 edition runs 16–18 June alongside Kazakhstan International Bakery Show and International Restaurant & Bar Expo, creating one buying floor for hoteliers, restaurateurs, chefs, coffee operators and distributors from Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
TL;DR
Visitors can compare kitchen, refrigeration, coffee, tableware and hotel-supply ranges in one hall, meet local distributors and see equipment working before specifying it for an opening or refurbishment. The co-located bakery and restaurant-bar shows widen the sourcing list without a second trip.
Exhibitors reach owner-operators, procurement managers, chefs and distributors who are actively fitting out hotels, restaurants and cafés in Kazakhstan. A compact three-day show with a business programme supports dealer recruitment, direct supply conversations and product launches in a market where personal meetings still drive contracts.

Larger combined hospitality and bakery floor
Impact
For a supplier, the show concentrates buyers who are fitting out or upgrading hotels, restaurants and cafés in one capital-city venue. The co-located bakery and restaurant-bar events add adjacent categories and more decision-makers without a second travel leg. The main commercial value is qualified meetings with distributors and owner-operators, not mass consumer footfall.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-only and skewed to hospitality operators, chefs, procurement teams and distributors. The organiser describes a professional platform rather than a public fair, so exhibitors should expect specification and sourcing conversations. Visitor totals are not published, which makes pre-booked meetings more reliable than walk-up volume assumptions.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on dealer recruitment and direct supply deals rather than unit sales at the stand. A compact booth with working equipment, Russian and English materials and a named follow-up owner gives the best chance of converting meetings. Budget for translation and samples; do not model returns on unpublished visitor totals.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Astana concentrates government, hotel development and modern restaurant groups, while Kazakhstan's wider tourism push is creating new food-service capacity. For equipment and supply brands, the show is a low-travel route to distributors and owner-operators across Central Asia, with Russian and Kazakh as working languages alongside English.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Labour-saving kitchen technology
Staff shortages push hotels and restaurants toward combi ovens, automated prep, self-order and inventory systems that reduce dependence on skilled labour.
What it changes: Equipment that demonstrably cuts labour hours is easier to justify than a like-for-like replacement.
Coffee culture and premium beverages
Specialty coffee, cold drinks and bar concepts keep expanding in Kazakh cities, lifting demand for grinders, espresso machines, water treatment and barista training.
What it changes: Coffee is a high-frequency purchase and a strong traffic driver on the show floor.
Hygiene, sustainability and local sourcing
Operators face rising expectations on food safety, waste reduction and local ingredient sourcing while keeping costs under control.
What it changes: Cleaning, packaging and energy-efficient refrigeration can be positioned as cost-saving upgrades.
