Data Center UPS Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

Data Center UPS Market Analysis

Data Center UPS Market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period. A clean and safe power supply is essential for today's data centers and IT facilities. Power outages can have a catastrophic impact on mission-critical computers, communications, and data, causing costly downtime. Data centers and telecommunications equipment are critical infrastructures because of the risks of financial and other impacts associated with information flow disruptions that can occur during computing or network loss of power caused by power loss.

• UPS solutions are utilized to increase an infrastructure tolerance to AC grid failures and fluctuations and to improve the reliability and availability of a power distribution system. Most UPS systems are designed to power at maximum load for at least 5 minutes in the event of a power outage. In these 5 minutes, backup generation has enough time to try multiple attempts to start and take over the load from the UPS system. Inefficient data center power distribution can lead to wasted power and space, raising existing costs and constraining future growth. Data centers need to account for redundancy when sizing a UPS to prevent any cases of failure.
• Recent developments include developing Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems, which feature a modular Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that combines all input and output power connections with a manual bypass switch. The switch can be set to bypass to allow live UPS maintenance to eliminate power-related downtime and ensure that power is not obstructed in high-availability systems. The manual transfer switch allows the load to be shifted from the UPS to direct primary power; the UPS can be powered down and removed from service. At the same time, connected mission-critical equipment can remain powered and operational.
• Amazon Web Services, for instance, recently developed its own in-rack Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to minimize the risk of downtime and developed software to operate the appliance. Their solutions are aimed at utility with minimal modes and options, prioritizing the speed of deployment and maintenance. The company uses small battery packs and custom power supplies integrated into every rack.
• The surge on the internet and cloud adoption increased significantly during the spread of COVID-19 with a shift to the remote working environment and a focus on digitization by government authorities. Such factors are propelling the demand for increasing data center capacities in most regions across the globe, thereby creating significant growth in the demand for UPS systems.

Data Center UPS Industry Segmentation

An Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is an electrical device that provides emergency power to a load in the event of an input or mains failure. UPSs are different from auxiliary or emergency power systems or standby generators. It provides near-instantaneous protection from power interruptions by supplying the energy stored in the battery, supercapacitor, or flywheel. Most uninterruptible power supplies have a relatively short battery-on-time (only a few minutes), but they are sufficient to start the standby power supply or shut down protected equipment properly. This is a kind of continuous power system.

The data center UPS market is segmented by Type (Standby, Line interactive, Double conversion on line), Size of Data Center (Small, Medium, Large), End-User Vertical (Banking and Financial Services, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Energy, Healthcare, Government, Entertainment and Media), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa).
