Presently, there are 1.2 billion square meters of construction area finished every year in China, half of which is for dwelling houses, and it equals to provide the more than 3 billion pieces of iron-cast heating radiator market. In addition, the improvement of the old system, south transfer and expansion of the heating area, the urbanization requirement of rural construction etc, all of which enlarge the demand amount of the heating radiators.

According to the 11th Five-year development plan, the total output value of the heating radiator industry all over China will reach RMB 12.5 billion and the output will amount to 500 million standard pieces (including export) at the end of the period.

While the key factor to achieve the adjustment is to solve the corruption of the steel heating radiators gradually.

Due to the rapid development of heating radiator industry in China, the crisis market competition makes the enterprises realize the importance of independent innovation. As the improvement of the R&D and innovation of the enterprises, a number of the new projects and technologies occur successively, and the industry has 104 patent enterprises and 620 items of patents in all now, thereinto, the invention patents are 58 items, utility model patents are 402 items, and the appearance patents amount to 160.
