An uninterruptible power supply, commonly known as a UPS, is used to power electronic devices and provide emergency backup power during power outages and voltage fluctuations. It helps to protect hardware, data, and save servers from unexpected power disruptions. UPS systems provide battery backup and regulated power to workstations, servers, networking equipment, telecom cabinets, data centers and other sensitive electronic equipment. With the rising need for business continuity and protection of critical infrastructure from power issues, the demand for UPS systems is increasing significantly.
The global uninterruptible power supply market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.63 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The increasing adoption of cloud computing services across industries is playing a major role in driving the growth of the uninterruptible power supply market. Cloud infrastructure requires uninterrupted power to function efficiently without any downtime. As more number of organizations are migrating their operations and data to cloud platforms, the demand for high quality backup power solutions is increasing. Additionally, most data centers and telecom facilities rely on UPS systems to ensure 24/7 operations and prevent losses due to power blackouts or fluctuations. The growing preference for distributed network environments and critical infrastructure also propels the need for UPS to keep servers and networks running continuously. Another key growth driver is the strong focus on industrial automation across manufacturing facilities which demand robust power backup solutions.
Segment Analysis
The global uninterruptible power supply market growth is dominated by offline/standby segment. This segment accounts for over 70% of the market share owing to the high demand for contingency power backups during power outages. The offline/standby uninterruptible power supplies provide backup power instantly through a battery when the main power fails. They find wide applications in healthcare, data centers, telecom and other industries where continuous power supply is a critical requirement.
