Steelmaker Jiangsu Shagang Group, with a business revenue of 207.5 billion yuan (US$32.9 billion), has replaced Huawei Technologies Co. as the biggest private firm on the Chinese mainland in 2012, according to the Top 500 Chinese Private Companies List recently released by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC).

The combined revenue of the top 500 companies on the list hit 9.3 trillion yuan (US$1.5 trillion) in 2011, up 33 percent from 2010. Yet, the growth rate was 10 percentage points less than that of 2010. The top seven generated more than 100 billion yuan (US$15.9 billion) in revenue.

313 firms on the list are from the manufacturing industry, especially metallurgical, electric machinery and equipment manufacturing, and chemical and oil industries.

The total net profits of the top 500 companies surged 12.2 percent to 438.7 billion yuan (US$69.6 billion) in 2011. However, the growth rate presents a shocking drop compared to the figure of 79.5 percent in 2010, indicating a much slower growth for 2011.

Three leading state-owned companies, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China and China Construction Bank, alone generated a total of 421.6 billion yuan (US$66.9 billion) in net profits, only slightly lower than the aggregate of the top 500 private companies, who paid 409.4 billion yuan(US$65 billion) in taxes, a 49.5 percent increase over 2010.

A company should report more than 6.57 billion yuan (US$1 billion) to guarantee its inclusion onto the list, a 30.1 percent increase over last year's threshold. The figure represents a record high since the ACFIC began to make the exclusive rankings in 1999.

The number of Chinese firms on Fortune's Global 500 list may raise from 57 in 2011 to 150 in 2030, while the country's economic aggregate will increase from 9.8 percent of the world's total in 2011 to 25 percent by 2030, according to Justin Lin, a former chief economist and senior vice president at the World Bank.

The ACFIC's survey also shows that there are five major factors which constrained the private companies' development in 2011: rising costs of raw materials and labor forces, lack of talented personnel, heavy taxation and surging capital costs.

The followings are the top 20 private companies in China 2012:
