Global Modular UPS Market to Surge to $9.52 Billion by 2030, Driven by Demand for Scalable and Energy-Efficient Power Solutions

Dublin, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Modular UPS Market by Technology, Phase Type, Voltage, Power Capacity, Form Factor, Battery Type – Global Forecast to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The modular UPS market will grow from USD 5.44 billion in 2024 to USD 9.52 billion by 2030 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8% during the forecast period. Modular UPS systems are changing power management for IT, telecommunications, healthcare, and manufacturing industries. A modular UPS solution enables providers of critical infrastructures, such as IT firms, servers, storage systems, network devices, and cloud platforms, to ensure continuous business continuity and data security during power outages.

The adoption of modular UPS systems is growing because of operations’ scalability, energy efficiency, and reliability. These systems allow businesses to adjust to changing power demand without difficulty while assuring future endurance and performance. Modular designs also enable speedy repairs and substitutions since an uninterrupted power supply would be established with very little disruption to operations.

By battery type, the lithium-ion batteries segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable power sources best known for their high energy density, long life, and fast charging. With their efficiency and compactness, these batteries are used in modern power backup systems. The rise of businesses and their increased dependency on power would now mean unbroken power supplies for mission-critical operations, and medical services would be at the center of such applications. Hence, lithium-ion batteries will undoubtedly meet the reliable backup for that industry’s significant needs in terms of downtime disruptions.

For instance, modular UPS systems with lithium-ion batteries will ensure that uptime-critical operations affecting transaction processing, data storage, and customer services in data centers or financial institutions run consistently. These recharge faster and last longer than lead-acid batteries, reducing maintenance and downtime.

A modular UPS design with lithium-ion batteries gives flexibility in increasing or reducing the power capacity of a business without a very expensive investment at the front. Their high energy density makes these lithium-ion batteries applicable in places lacking space as they provide a similar backup more compactly. Their operating efficiency in energy usage minimizes operation costs and stimulates the adoption of this technology, especially in healthcare, telecommunications, and IT. Companies would use modular UPS systems with lithium-ion batteries to ensure a reliable power backup solution, cost-saving in the long run, and the flexibility to augment it to support the expanding infrastructure.

Based on end users, the industrial segment holds the largest market share during the forecast period.

Continuous and reliable power supply is one of the key requirements for the industrial sector to run manufacturing processes smoothly, machinery safely, and critical systems optimally. Modular UPS systems are very effective, scalable, and efficient power protection solutions to unpredicted power outages, equipment failures, and power quality issues that can cause a shutdown.

Modular UPS is especially useful to users who require scaling of power protection in manufacturing, automotive, oil and gas, and chemical industries because they require such systems for continuity in production. Modular systems give the flexibility to scale power protection whenever needed without making any unnecessary commitments toward huge heavyweight systems from the beginning. Gradually, as demand rises for those systems, additional capacity is added without shutting down the production.

The modular structure of UPS units also makes maximum operational flexibility and redundancy possible, particularly in industrial surroundings. Modular UPS systems enable different equipment configurations, ranging from production line operation through the use of a control room and beyond automation systems, thus promoting a continuous power supply. Hot-swappable modules and N+X redundancy features minimize downtime and maximize productivity, even during maintenance or upgrades. In other words, with the increasing automation and interconnectivity within the industrial operations, the uninterrupted supply is going to be much more needed to operate critical machinery and IT infrastructure, where modular UPS helps in continuous operation.

The smart manufacturing process and Industry 4.0 have increased the demand for modular UPS systems in various industrial applications. These systems protect data loss or damage to equipment due to power interruptions. A modular approach guarantees that industries will be configured to current primary power requirements but will also accommodate the addition of advanced technologies into more traditional industrial processes, including robotics, sensors, and AI. Modular UPS systems are designed to be energy-efficient yet scalable and cost-efficient. Moreover, these modular systems would contribute to the general growth and innovation of the industrial sector, making them a worthy investment for businesses that intend to maintain their competitiveness and resilience.

Based on the voltage, the medium voltage modular UPS(250-480V) segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Medium voltage modular UPS systems (from 250 to 480 V) are designed for power protection in medium-sized businesses and facilities in the best capacity and flexibility. Applications for these systems are typically related to mid-sized data centers, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and light industry plants. Usually, they are applied for powering operations that require robust, scalable, and energy-efficient power solutions that are reliable in the continuity of critical processes.

The medium voltage modular UPS systems are scalable, allowing businesses to scale their power capacity incrementally by adding modules to address changing needs without changing the entire system, thereby saving costs and being flexible over time. It usually comes with advanced technologies like a high-efficiency rectifier and inverter to improve energy performance and lower operating costs. The modular design has also made it easier to maintain the system with less downtime because units can be serviced and replaced without affecting the overall system.

Medium voltage UPS systems are generally known for their dependability and safeguarding critical infrastructure from power interruptions. Such UPS systems offer uninterruptible services in case of any power failure, sudden changes in voltage, or surges, which guarantees that critical, reliable operations can be run under a high level of disturbance. Such systems can become extremely valuable, for example, in a hospital when there is no downtime in medical lifesaving equipment. Data centers are also affected; a short outage can cause serviceability problems. Medium voltage modular UPS systems are perfect for solid but flexible options for medium-scale operations requiring solid power protection.
