1. What Is the Centrifugal Fan Market?
The Centrifugal Fan Market comprises fans that move air radially using a rotating impeller, delivering higher pressure than axial designs. The market includes forward-curved, backward-curved, and radial-blade fans in single-width and double-width configurations across varied sizes and materials. These fans serve cement and steel plants, power generation, chemical processing, and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems needing higher-pressure airflow. Scope covers centrifugal fans and excludes axial and mixed-flow fans, low-pressure blowers, and high-pressure compressors handling process gas.
