Above 5KVA UPS Systems Gearing Up to Disrupt Market Leadership

Above 5KVA UPS Systems Gearing Up to Disrupt Market Leadership
The UPS market in India is being driven by factors such as inconsistent power supply, increasing reliance on backup power solutions across industries, the rising usage of high-end electronic gadgets in residential spaces, and the need to prevent data loss in SOHOs, SMEs, and data centers. According to Bonafide Research's report, India UPS Market Outlook, 2021, the small UPS segment, consisting of systems below 5kVA, has historically accounted for over 50% of the total market revenue. However, with the rapid increase in commercial establishments, government initiatives promoting digital education, and growing dependence on electronic devices, the market for UPS systems above 5kVA is expected to witness a higher CAGR in the coming years.

Despite government efforts to reduce the demand-supply gap through green energy initiatives, power quality remains inconsistent. Frequent fluctuations and voltage instability pose risks to high-end electronic devices, sustaining the demand for UPS systems. As a critical backup solution, a UPS ensures an uninterrupted power supply, particularly when the main power source fails. Online UPS solutions currently dominate the Indian market due to their efficiency in handling larger power loads. As load requirements increase in both residential and commercial sectors, consumers are more inclined toward higher-capacity UPS systems rather than opting for multiple lower-capacity units for individual devices.

The demand for UPS systems above 5kVA is also being fueled by rising disposable income and consumer preference for uninterrupted power in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Modern consumers expect luxury and seamless functionality, which is driving demand for powerful UPS solutions. Additionally, industries and commercial segments require continuous and stable power, making higher-capacity UPS systems a necessity. This trend indicates that the medium (5–30kVA) and large UPS (above 30kVA) segments will contribute significantly to market growth in the near future.

Although the Indian UPS market has traditionally relied on the below 5kVA segment, improvements in power infrastructure in certain urban areas have slightly reduced demand for UPS systems serving non-critical loads. This has had a minor impact on the sub-5kVA UPS segment, primarily used in homes, SOHOs, and small businesses. However, persistent power outages continue to drive homeowners to purchase UPS systems for essential appliances such as computers, televisions, refrigerators, lights, and fans. An emerging trend in the market is the growing adoption of line-interactive UPS systems for protecting high-end electronics like LED/LCD TVs, despite a decline in the overall sub-1kVA UPS market size.

Given the ongoing power challenges and increasing dependency on technology, the UPS market in India is poised for a shift. By 2020, the revenue share of medium and large UPS systems (above 5kVA) was projected to surpass that of the traditionally dominant below 5kVA segment. With strong demand from industrial, commercial, and high-end residential consumers, the market is expected to witness steady expansion in the coming years.
