Emerging Backup Power Technologies in Critical Infrastructure Boosting Growth in the Uninterruptible Power Supply Market

The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.23 Bn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) market caters to various critical infrastructure industries including healthcare, telecommunications, data centers, and manufacturing where uninterrupted power is crucial. UPS systems ensure a continuous power supply to critical loads in the event of a power failure or voltage sag by using a battery system. Backup power technologies such as lithium-ion batteries are gaining popularity in use cases requiring higher capacity and longer backup durations.

Market Dynamics:
Growing investments in data center infrastructure across the globe is a major driver of the UPS market growth. According to a report, global data center IP traffic will represent over 20% of global consumer internet traffic by 2022. Increasing digitalization efforts in critical industries such as healthcare requiring monitoring equipment, control systems and medical devices to operate continuously is also fueling demand for premium UPS systems. Rising adoption of lithium-ion battery technology enables UPS systems to provide backup for longer durations on a single charge. Lithium-ion batteries are more efficient, lighter and have a higher recharge rate than conventional lead-acid batteries traditionally used in UPS.
