An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system is an emergency power backup option used in the event of a power outage. It has a brief on-battery runtime, which is sufficient for safely shutting down active equipment and gadgets including computers, data centres, and television sets. Voltage and frequency independent (VFI), voltage-independent (VI), and voltage-dependent (VD) are some of the most prevalent types of UPS systems. They use flywheels, batteries, and supercapacitors to store power. UPS systems are quieter than traditional systems, provide immediate protection against input power interruptions, and maintain a continuous standby power supply to prevent operational disturbance and data loss. As a result, UPS systems are frequently utilised in healthcare facilities, electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) terminals, and telecommunications centres.
Global Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Market Driving Factors and Challenges
One of the primary drivers of market expansion is the growing demand for dependable power solutions across sectors. UPS systems are commonly utilised to provide continuous power supply to large-scale production plants and avoid power outages. Furthermore, the increased implementation of UPS systems in residential and commercial complexes is driving market expansion. They help protect smart electronic gadgets from voltage fluctuations and unexpected power outages, which can damage the devices' delicate components.
In accordance with this, the increasing demand for zero power downtime to effectively manage information technology (IT) activities is driving market expansion. Various product advancements, such as the integration of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with high operating temperatures, are also driving growth. These innovative variations outperform typical valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries in terms of operational cycle length and efficiency. Other factors expected to fuel market expansion include an increase in the demand for factory automation, as well as significant growth in the electronics and telecommunications industries.
The global uninterruptible power supply (UPS) market has a number of hurdles, including technological complexity, space limits, and compatibility issues. To begin, the rising sophistication of UPS systems, driven by the demand for more efficiency and power capacity, might result in technological complexity. Adding advanced features like modular structures, energy storage solutions, and intelligence monitoring capabilities complicates system design and execution. This complexity can increase upfront costs, necessitate specialised skills for installation and maintenance, and may impede seamless interchange with existing data centre infrastructure, creating a hurdle to general adoption.
As data centres attempt to maximise computing density in order to manage increased workloads, space allocation for UPS systems becomes increasingly crucial. Bulkier or larger UPS units might take up valuable floor space, thus reducing the facility's efficiency and capacity. This creates a conundrum for data centre operators, who must strike a balance between including critical power backup devices and optimising the use of their limited space resources.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Market
The Covid-19 pandemic has a huge impact on the global uninterrupted power supply systems market. Residential UPS installations increased as social alienation and work-from-home behaviours became more widely adopted. Increased power disruptions during the pandemic boosted demand for UPS devices in both residential and industrial settings. However, disruptions in cross-border trade had an impact on the UPS supply chain, as did delays in upstream and downstream activity, resulting in increased inventory levels.
