In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts assess the market based on three key customer groups: industrial, commercial, and public infrastructure. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: By End User Vertical:
The following technologies are covered in this research:
UPS System Sales Dependent on Favourable Economic Climate The sales of back-up power systems are inevitably linked to fluctuations in power supply. Power crises, therefore, spell good news for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) companies. With South Africa prone to power outages, suppliers to this market can expect a surge in volume sales, but only as long as foreign investors’ perceptions of economic growth in this area remain positive. A perceived economic uncertainty can very easily dissuade investors from sinking funds into energy-intensive sectors. While Eskom is the sole electricity provider in South Africa, the South African government is now looking to reduce its role, and is actively seeking private partners to this end. The aim is to have up to 30 per cent of South Africa’s electricity needs generated by independent power producers (IPPs). Until that happens, however, Eskom continues to be the exclusive provider, and has embarked upon an ambitious $13 billion infrastructure development programme, which includes the construction of new power stations. While the price of electricity in South Africa has always been a strong competitive advantage to attract foreign manufacturers, there have been price increase proposals by the National Energy Regulator (NER). "Thus, UPS companies need to consider all these issues when projecting their future sales," says the analyst of this research service. "A continuous demand for UPS systems may paradoxically be indicative of difficult situations ahead." Sustained Growth Initiatives Increase Power Requirements and Boost Sales of UPS Systems As part of the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative of South Africa, the Government is expected to invest a staggering $61.3 billion in infrastructure, with the aim of achieving a GDP growth of 6 per cent. This creates a requirement for the construction of additional power-generating capacity. These projected investments are expected to drive UPS sales in two key sectors in South Africa: telecommunications and tourism. South Africa is the telecommunications leader in the African continent, with around 4.03 million installed exchange lines. This is expected to increase to 7 million lines in the next few years. "Two-thirds of these new lines will be aimed at increasing the number of telephone users in rural areas," says the analyst. "To operate optimally, the lines need to be supported by UPS systems, thus boosting the volume sales in the market." The South African tourism industry is also booming, and is valued at $10 billion annually. This sector has a projected annual growth rate of 12 per cent, and is estimated to be worth $45 billion by 2010. Hotel leisure groups, casinos and game resorts are all investing in back-up power systems to reduce the threat of customer dissatisfaction in the event of power shortages. In fact, the gaming board has already made it mandatory for casinos to install back-up systems for security purposes. Get Full Details About This Report >> |
