Abstract

Domestic UPS Manufacturers Offer Quality Products on Par with Importers

Conventionally, end users in the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment market in Thailand have exhibited a preference for imported products. However, the technological gap between the imported and domestic products is fast diminishing with increasing investments in research and development (R&D) by the domestic manufacturers. With technology not being the main purchase decision criteria, manufacturers are considering various other alternatives to promote their products. In this scenario, diverse factors such as increasing potential of the below 1 KVA segment and growing investments from the manufacturing and telecom industries are driving the country’s UPS market.

This Frost & Sullivan research service provides an overview of and an outlook for the Thailand uninterruptible power supply market. It segments the market based on energy sources into less than 1 KVA, 1 to 6 KVA, 6 to 20 KVA, 20 to 50 KVA, 50 to 200 KVA, and above 200 kilovolt ampere (KVA). It provides detailed revenue forecasts and market share analyses and is essential for both large and small market participants seeking to position themselves to earn maximum return on investments.

Demand from Information Technology Industry Spurs the UPS Market

"Thailand spent around $8.70 billion on information and communication technology (ICT) in 2004 and this is likely to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.6 percent," highlights the analyst of this research service. "This creates a greater need for UPS units to ensure that the systems and computers in these enterprises function continuously without power disruptions and data loss."

Further, enterprises should emphasize on establishing reliability and reputation especially in the high-end UPS market where the profit margins from both product sales and service and support areas are high. However, the entry barriers in this segment are significant and this calls for manufacturers’ adherence to standardization and regulatory requirements. Companies should also adeptly tackle fluctuations in the demand for high-end UPSs, which is dependent on the frequency of government project undertakings and infrastructure development.

Improving Economy and Lower Unit Prices Increase Unit Shipments

The recovery of the nations’ economy and the substantial surge in e-commerce are driving the market. "The growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and small office home office (SOHO) units, rising dependence on personal computers, and the eroding UPS prices have increased the unit shipments, especially in the below 3 KVA power range segment," says the analyst. "With UPS manufacturers and personal computer (PC) sellers tying up, majority of sales in this KVA range are occurring through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)."

Overall, higher end-user awareness pertaining to equipment and data protection, transition from labor intensive manufactured exports to medium-high technology exports and, growth in the auto and telecommunications industry is fueling the demand for UPS equipment. In particular, the Thai telecom companies require pure harmonic power for their sophisticated equipment, which necessitates the use of UPS units.
