Market Overview

Investment in IT Networks and Medical Devices Impels Growth of the Healthcare UPS Market

Although the healthcare UPS market is mature, it continues to grow due to strong investment in IT networks and modality equipment upgrades, which are increasing load requirements in healthcare facilities. "Hospitals are increasingly embracing digitization to increase efficiency and improve the quality of patient care," cites the analyst of this research service. "This has elevated the electronic load in hospitals, resulting in the growing need for back-up power to prevent data corruption and loss as well as permanent equipment damage, thus leading to significant demand in the healthcare UPS market."

New constructions in healthcare facilities have also prompted UPS installations. Moreover, hospitals across North America have upgraded existing storage and data networks in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), aiding the growth of the healthcare UPS market. In addition, the introduction of picture archive communication systems (PACS) and related upgrades offer numerous opportunities for UPS deployment. Several tiers in the PACS infrastructure enable the deployment of both single and three-phase UPS systems. UPS vendors can benefit from this continued investment and interest in healthcare facilities for PACS.

Increased Competition in IT Network Segment Leads to Niche Marketing

As superior production capabilities and bargaining power continue to favor tier 1 participants in the rapidly growing IT network segment, tier 3 vendors have been forced to concentrate on niche markets. Competition has also increased in the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) market. Major medical equipment manufacturers have placed a premium on quality as a pre-condition to form OEM partnerships. Therefore, some participants find it difficult providing a better price while simultaneously maintaining high product quality.

"Budget constraints and lack of awareness of power quality concerns in hospitals challenge the industry, due to which many facility managers overlook the need for complete back up installations," explains the analyst. "UPS vendors must focus on educating hospitals about the severity of power quality issues to enable the market reach its maximum potential."
