Major News in the Centrifugal Fan Industry for 2025

2022-01-10

I. Breakthroughs in Core Technologies
• Magnetic Levitation Centrifugal Fans Achieve a Leap in Energy Efficiency
Shandong Huadong Fan's magnetically levitated high-speed centrifugal blowers eliminate mechanical friction losses through non-contact transmission, and when paired with a three-dimensional impeller design, deliver a 30%-40% improvement in operational efficiency compared to conventional equipment. For instance, a 150-horsepower model can save over 200,000 kWh of electricity annually per unit.
• Multi-Blade Centrifugal Fan Impeller Patent
Guangdong Xinfeng Fan has obtained a new patent for its impeller, featuring an asymmetric blade design with a leading-edge radius larger than the trailing-edge radius. This innovative design effectively suppresses flow separation, enhancing aerodynamic performance and improving system stability.
• Modular Repair Technology Innovation
Zhejiang Juying Fan Co. has launched a centrifugal fan specifically designed for new-energy street sweepers, featuring an innovative, flipable air intake box structure that allows for maintenance and repairs without requiring complete disassembly—boosting maintenance efficiency by 50%.

II. Market Dynamics and Capacity Expansion
Leading companies consolidate their market share
Infineon's ventilation fans have maintained the No. 1 market share in China's ventilation and air exchange fan sector for three consecutive years, and in 2025, the company was recognized as a "Shanghai Manufacturing Single Champion Enterprise," further solidifying its technological barriers.

Differentiated Competition Amidst Overcapacity
Industry online data shows that in 2024, sales of centrifugal fans across the three major application areas—FFUs, EFUs, and AHUs—declined by 1.8% year-on-year. Meanwhile, domestic brands such as Xiangming and Dunli are accelerating their penetration into the mid-to-low-end market, thanks to their strong cost control and ability to adapt technologically.

Global AC centrifugal fans experience steady growth.
According to QYResearch's forecast, the global AC centrifugal fan market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.0% from 2025 to 2031, surpassing $307 million by 2031. Key drivers behind this growth include increasing intelligence and lightweight design features.

III. Policies and the Green Transition
The dual-carbon goals are driving demand for wind power infrastructure.
The National Development and Reform Commission's policies are once again driving a surge in wind power installations. In the first quarter of 2025, domestic wind turbine equipment bidding reached 36.1 GW—up 112% year-on-year—spurring the increased adoption of high-power centrifugal wind turbines in wind energy systems.

Building Energy Efficiency Regulations Upgraded
The 2025 Kitchen & Bath China (KBC) exhibition is focusing on energy-efficient ventilation systems, with electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans emerging as a popular solution for green building certifications—thanks to their compatibility with smart control and dynamic pressure regulation features.

4. Industry Trend Outlook
Intelligent Integration: The IoT platform enables dynamic optimization of fan operating parameters, while boosting the response speed for remote fault diagnosis in maglev models by 80%.
Material lightweighting: Commercial adoption of carbon-fiber-ceramic composite rotor materials is accelerating, with penetration expected to exceed 40% by 2030. As a result, centrifugal fan power density is projected to triple.
In summary, the centrifugal fan industry in 2025 is poised for dual-driven growth—driven by technological breakthroughs that propel energy efficiency gains, and spurred by policy mandates pushing for a green transition. Leading companies continue to take the lead, leveraging innovative patents and strategic investments in intelligent technologies.
