Market Overview

Advanced and Customized Solutions to Help Manufacturers Stand out in the Singapore UPS Market

Competitors in the growing Singapore uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems market will have to develop astute strategies to set themselves apart. As the market is characterized by largely undifferentiated products, they have to implement distinctive tactics such as providing niche and customized solutions to specific end-user groups. This business strategy will not only help market participants meet the increasingly challenging customer demands but also operate outside the confines of the large and established manufacturers’ dominance.

Enhanced technological capabilities can also be leveraged to garner substantial revenue, if the success of ‘modular’ UPS systems is anything to go by. However, manufacturers have to publicize these innovations to attract greater consumer interest. "Manufacturers and distributors are increasingly focusing on marketing and market penetration strategies, as is evident from the rise in promotions and campaigns targeted at businesses and consumers," says the analyst of this research service. "They should focus on establishing clear and strong signals about their systems’ capabilities in order to gain market share."

Government Backing Gives the UPS Market a Substantial Boost

The significant growth of the Singapore UPS market in the last five years is directly or indirectly derived from strong government initiatives. With Singapore becoming Asia’s financial hub, there has been a marked increase in demand for UPS systems from the finance sector. Meanwhile, the Government’s initiatives to develop core industries have catalyzed demand from the IT sector and datacenters. There are also improved sales prospects in the marine and manufacturing industries.

This spurt in demand, especially for large kVA systems, has induced manufacturers to focus on servicing and offering a complete package to end users. They can lure more customers by offering value-added services such as warranties and after-sales service. "Market participants can also expand profit margins by devising methods to control cost of production," notes the analyst. "They are trying to achieve this by recycling usable parts from older UPS systems, using substitute technologies such as fuel cells and sourcing alternative raw material suppliers."
