China is the world’s leading purchaser of commercial filters. This is due to several factors. One is the high rate of growth of the commercial building industry. Another is the high particulate levels in ambient air. This results in more rapid filter replacement than in countries with relatively clean air.
The Chinese construction industry recorded a nominal CAGR of 19.99 percent in 2009–2013. The infrastructure and residential markets collectively accounted for 72.3 percent of the total construction industry in 2013 and are expected to grow at 9 percent CAGR due to increased public investment, urbanization and the strong demand for housing.
Twenty years ago the U.S. was the center for HVAC, but now China holds the number one position.
In terms of air conditioning unit sales in China,
Japanese manufacturers Daikin, Hitachi, Toshiba and Samsung command more than 30
percent of the market. Daikin also owns AAF and is one of the largest air filter
manufacturing companies in the world. Western companies York, Carrier, Trane and
Dunham-Bush have more than 25 percent market share for air conditioners in
China. Haier, Gree and Midea account for more than 20 percent of the market.
Other suppliers are Hisense, Panasonic, Kelong, Glaze, Aux, Chigao,
Mitsubushi, Samsung, Changhong, Chunlan, TCL, Hitachi, Sharp, Fujitsu General,
Sanyoo and LG.
China can be divided into five climatic zones, each of which has different filtration needs:
·
Severely cold, e.g. Heilongjiang province, where heating is very important for most of the year,·
Cold, e.g. Beijing, where heating is necessary from October to March, while cooling in summer is not a big problem,·
Hot in summer and cold in winter, e.g. Shanghai and nearby provinces, where cooling in summer and heating in winter are necessary,·
Warm, e.g. Guangdong and Fujian provinces, where heating is not necessary and cooling is needed in summer,·
Hot, e.g. Hainan province, where cooling is needed all the year.Buildings contribute up to 25 percent total energy consumption in China. (Sixty percent is for heating and cooling.)
The fast economic development and the increasing living standards of people in China have prompted a new wave of building construction. Since the year 2000, 1.5 billion m2 area of buildings have been built every year, and this is projected to continue until the year 2020. International companies are now conducting research in China. In Feb. 2004, Trane founded its R&D center in Shanghai. York founded its Asia Pacific R&D center in Nov. 2004 in Wuxi. The Carrier R&D center started to function in 2006.
Air filters are used in both the central HVAC systems and for room air conditioners. One of the trends boosting revenues is the trend to select the more efficient and expensive F5-9 filters as opposed to the less expensive and efficient H1-4 design. Concerns about air pollution and health have influenced Chinese building owners to upgrade to more efficient filters. Another driver is energy consumption. Dirt on air conditioner coils increases energy consumption.

Mexico’s gross domestic product fell less-than-expected in the last quarter, according to official data.
Mexican GDP 1.6% vs. 1.5% forecast. In a report, Insituto Nacional de Estadistica Y Geografia said that Mexican GDP fell to a seasonally adjusted 1.6%, from 1.8% in the preceding quarter. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

India
Reserve Bank of India has projected around 5.5% GDP growth for 2014-15 after two painful years of sub-5% growth, as the new government focuses on fiscal consolidation and is taking steps to clear stalled industrial and construction projects to shake up a stagnating economy.
This is in line with the projections made at the start of 2014-15 and RBI is now looking at the prospect of a sustainable 7% growth in the medium term if the government takes the reforms process forward in the areas of industry, services, international trade, labor markets, public sector management and financial markets.
"The Indian economy stands at crossroads that could take it from a slow bumpy lane to a faster highway," RBI said in its annual report for 2013-14. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Israel
War is supposed to be "good" for the economy, according to some experts, by boosting government spending — but that hasn’t happened in Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The travel industry is in a shambles, tourism’s summer high season is ruined, and much-needed work isn’t getting done because 50,000 reserve soldiers, most of them members of the workforce, are otherwise occupied on the front lines. This is in addition to the expense of the war itself.
It was inevitable that the war would have an impact on the economy, according to Psagot Investment House. In its report, the group put the cost of the war at a quarter of a percent of what had been an expected 2.9% growth in GDP for 2014. Taking into account the losses to business, the expenses the government is facing, and the cost of repairing the economic damage, the report bumps down the expected growth rate for Israel for the year to 2.4% – taking into account the possibility that the war will last for another week and a half. If it goes longer, Psagot said, it may have to revise its figures again.
Even so, Psagot predicted the losses would be temporary.
The group made its assessment on the basis of another "summer war" — the Second Lebanon War, which took place during July and August of 2006. The war also hurt tourism and required extensive resources to repair buildings that were damaged by Hezbollah rockets. Iron Dome, which has spared lives and property this time by intercepting incoming rockets, had not been invented yet. While far fewer buildings have been damaged in the current war, Psagot said, that "gain" is wiped out by the fact that life in many more cities in the center of the country are being affected in many ways by Hamas rockets. Hezbollah was unable to reach farther south than Hadera, while Hamas rockets have hit Tel Aviv and well to the north. . (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
