The rise in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) globally, coupled with the expansion of IT facilities across various industries, has fueled the demand for UPS systems. Automation in the manufacturing sector, which relies heavily on computer-based control systems and PLC units, is driving the need for UPS systems. Standby UPS systems, which are cost-effective and provide essential features like battery backup and surge protection, are seeing growing demand. This trend is particularly noticeable in consumer electronics and gaming consoles, where power protection is critical due to frequent power fluctuations.
Companies have been diversifying their battery options for UPS systems; there as an increased usage of nickel-zinc batteries alongside traditional lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries. There is a growing focus on achieving zero downtime for critical operations. New technologies such as remote monitoring, diagnostics, and even predictive maintenance are being integrated in the UPS systems. Also, advancements in semiconductor technology have been leading to the development of more compact power conversion UPS components.
