Independent research report on China's process industry heat transfer industry in 2025

According to the "2025 Independent Research Report on China's Process Industry Heat Transfer Industry" released by Frost & Sullivan China, there is still huge room for efficiency improvement in China's process industry heat transfer industry. The report points out that by using advanced heat transfer technologies, such as high-efficiency heat exchangers and intelligent control systems, energy consumption can be significantly reduced while production efficiency is improved. In addition, the report also mentioned that as environmental protection policies become increasingly strict, companies will pay more and more attention to the energy efficiency indicators of heat transfer equipment, which will promote technological upgrading and market expansion of the entire industry.

policy orientation

China launches three-year energy conservation and emission reduction action plan

On June 15, 2026, the Chinese government announced a three-year energy conservation and emission reduction action plan targeting key industries, aiming to further reduce carbon emissions from coal power generation and improve energy efficiency. Coal Resources Network reported that the plan will focus on supporting the upgrading and transformation of the coal power industry. It is expected that by 2029, the average energy efficiency of coal-fired power plants nationwide will reach the internationally leading level, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 30%. This move will not only help improve environmental quality, but also promote the development of related technology companies, such as providers of heat transfer technology and intelligent control systems.
