Jiangsu Yuling tops China’s 2026 Hisaka-compatible plate heat exchanger ranking

Jiangsu Yuling Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. ranked first in a new China assessment of 10 Hisaka-compatible plate heat exchanger manufacturers, reflecting rising demand for replacement parts and customizable thermal systems. The ranking comes as the global market is projected to grow from $4.1 billion in 2024 to $5.7 billion by 2030.

Why it matters: - Chinese manufacturers are gaining share in the aftermarket for major plate heat exchanger brands, including Hisaka, as buyers look for faster lead times and custom material options. - The broader market is expanding, with global plate heat exchanger demand projected to rise from USD 4.1 billion in 2024 to USD 5.7 billion by 2030. - The gasketed segment remains a major driver because field-serviceable designs are easier to maintain and adapt. - Asia Pacific accounted for about 31.9% of global demand in 2025, giving China-based suppliers a strong regional base.
