On/Off valves for the power industry will be the biggest segment. Control valves for the power industry will be the third largest segment and nearly equal to On/Off valves for the iron and steel industry.
The Chinese five-year plan, which will add nearly 45,000 MW/yr of new coal-fired power plants supplemented by an ambitious nuclear program, will result in this very large power segment market.
