China's push to expand computing infrastructure and advance green urban development will create fresh growth opportunities for Carrier Global Corp to deepen investment in manufacturing, innovation and digital technologies in the country during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, said a senior executive.
As China accelerates the development of data centers, green urban infrastructure and artificial intelligence applications, Carrier — a United States-based intelligent climate and energy solutions provider and parent company of Toshiba HVAC and Viessmann Climate Solutions — will align its business priorities with these emerging opportunities while exporting products made at its China plants to markets worldwide.

Michael Gierges, president of climate solutions for Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa at Carrier, said China is no longer viewed simply as a regional market, but as a key driver of the group's global growth strategy.
"Cooling systems account for a significant share of data center energy consumption, making efficiency improvements increasingly important," said Gierges. "Through our QuantumLeap solution, we integrate intelligent cooling, digital controls and predictive monitoring technologies to optimize thermal management and improve energy performance across data center operations."
