Abstract

Increasing Awareness about Information Technology Improves New Technology Acceptability and thereby, Hikes Uptake of UPS Systems

Manufacturers of uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems have to strategize innovatively to ensure smooth adoption of new technologies. Consumers have traditionally been reluctant to rely on new technologies, as there are no set technical standards for the UPS systems. The initial high costs are also huge deterrents to the quick uptake of unproven technologies. However, with consumers’ growing dependence on personal computers and the gradually declining prices of UPS systems, there has been a rise the adoption rates. Users are increasingly realizing the importance of computers as a source of information. This trend, along with the UPS manufacturers’ tie-ups with PC manufacturers, is expected to give the market a significant boost.

The Frost & Sullivan research service examines the Philippines UPS market and segments the market into less than 1kVA, 1 to 6kVA, 6 to 20kVA, 20 to 50kVA, 50 to 200kVA, and above 200kVA. The study also discusses the standby (off-line UPS), line interactive UPS, and double conversion (online UPS). It analyses major industry challenges, market drivers and restraints, and potential threats faced by the market participants along with a comprehensive analysis of the market.

Spurt in the Number of Call Centers to Drive UPS Sales

Asia has established itself as a long-term, high-growth region for call center activity, buoyed by various companies’ enthusiasm to offshore operations to Southeast Asia. Among the countries in this region, Philippines is expected to have the most number of call centers - more than 17,000 - by 2008. This creates tremendous opportunities for the UPS market.

Meanwhile, the domestic telecom industry continues to grow due to the expansion of mobile services. There has been a surge in the number of cellular phone service subscribers and the penetration rate currently is approximately 26 per 100 people. "As telecom servers and other critical equipment require clean power and protection for their hassle-free operation, there is a wide market for the UPS industry," says the analyst.

Growth of Healthcare Industry and Computerization Drives in Banks Promote Adoption of UPS Systems

The rapid pace of growth in the domestic healthcare industry is promoting modern technologies and installation of sophisticated equipment. Since power fluctuations and breakdowns are harmful to critical and high-end equipment, healthcare centers have to invest in appropriate UPS systems depending on the load they require and the system (centralized or decentralized) used. With both public and private hospitals purchasing increasingly advanced diagnostic and surgical medical instruments, the market for UPS systems is on the up.

Apart from the demand from the healthcare industry, the computerization drives by banks and financial institutions is also creating a huge demand for UPS systems. Most banks and financial institutes are modernizing their set up to become nationalized, improve efficiency, curb competition, and keep pace with the current electronic trends. "There is substantial demand from the banking segment and this has created a large number of niche UPS vendors that cater predominantly to it," notes the analyst. "In future, there is likely to be sustained demand for both new procurements and replacements."
