Meanwhile, with the robust development of China’s heavy industry including energy, petrochemical and metallurgical sectors as well as enhanced infrastructure construction, there is a considerable demand for high-end fans in such industries as nuclear power, wind power, petrochemical, urban trail transport system and tunnel system. In 2009, the demand for fan equipments in industries of nuclear power and subway valued RMB300 million and RMB750 million respectively. And it is estimated China’s demand for fan equipments in highway tunnel industry will surpass RMB7.5 billion by 2013.

Regarding domestic fan enterprises, key players like Xi’an Shaangu Power, Shenyang Blower Works Shop, Nanfeng Ventilator and Jin Tong Ling Fans are developing their own technology strength through enhanced input in technological R&D. A case in point is Xi’an Shanngu Power which has been in the position to compete its international counterparts in high-end fan products such as axial compressors and energy recovery equipments with industrial processing. Thanks to such competitive edge, the two businesses of Xi’an Shaangu Power take a market share of over 90%.
