BEIJING - Industrial Bank Co, a mid-sized lender in China, reported on Monday that its net profits rose 39.44 percent to 18.52 billion yuan ($2.81 billion) in 2010 due to solid demand for consumer and corporate loans.

The Fujian-based lender joined China Construction Bank and Bank of China in reporting increased annual earnings as demand for credit stayed strong in the world's fastest-growing major economy.
