Railway and urban rail transit have higher requirement on the qualification of producing air-conditioning products, and the manufacturers can not enter Chinese urban rail transit market without obtaining product testing certificates and the running reports. In 2009, the top five manufacturers in the production of air-conditioners for railways and subways held more than 90% market shares, of which, Shijiazhuang King Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd accounted for around 35% of total output capacity, reaching about 11,000 sets per year.
