It is foreseen that the total demand for the Industrial Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Cooling Devices sector in the world will grow at 6.2% each year by 2014 and, 40% of the growth will be of Chinese origin. In the next years, the United States-based demand is foreseen to be at 8.1% on average per year even though it will initially be at lower levels.
