Abstract
Fan is the common name of gas compressor and gas transportation machine.
Generally speaking, fan in China includes ventilator, blower, compressor and
Roots blower, but excludes positive displacement blower and compressor such as
piston compressor.
Fan serves as a ventilator, deduster and cooler in factories, mines, tunnels,
cooling towers, vehicles, ships and buildings and plays the role of
ventilation and induced draft in boiler and industrial furnace. Fan always
acts as a ventilator and cooler in air-conditioning equipment and household
appliances and plays the role of a grain dryer. Fan is also able to provide
air to wind tunnels and pump and propel hovercrafts.
In 2007, the total industrial output value, the output value of new products
and the industrial sales output value of China' s fan industry all increased by
a big margin compared to the previous year. The industry made progress in
improving its marketing skills and accelerating its capacity expansion and its
operation ability was better than the previous year. The External market
demand of the industry is robust and the industry still has a big growth
potential. The profitability of the entire industry declined a bit in the year
of 2006, due to impact of macro economic control and increasing rises in
prices of energy and raw materials.
China' s huge demand for fan and fan manufacturing industry has aroused the
concern of many well-known overseas fan producers, who have been lured into
the Chinese market consecutively. These world' s leading manufacturers are
growing continuously through mergers and acquisitions, taking up a
considerably big market share.
China' s fan producers are fragmented, scattering across the country, and
different types of companies have different markets. All kinds of medium and
small size ventilators and other fan products are manufactured by medium- and
small-sized companies and township-run enterprises, due to their low technical
content and low added value. Most of the ventilators produced by the medium-
and small-sized companies are general products that are lack of uniqueness and
have general competitive edge.
China' s fan industry remains the momentum of rapid development in 2008. At
present, China has 470 fan producers. The total industrial output value of
China' s fan industry in the first two months of this year hit CNY5.35 billion,
up 39.01% year on year. China' s fan output in the first five months reached
1.72 million units, up 34.46% year on year.
