The global data center UPS market size reached USD 6.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 11.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.56% during 2025-2033. The escalating demand for continuous power supply on the global level, rapid digitalization and the rising dependence on technology for conducting business operations, and considerable rise in cloud computing represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A data center UPS or uninterruptible power supply refers to a crucial element in data center infrastructure that is specifically designed to provide an alternate power supply to data center equipment in case of a power outage or disruption. These systems ensure seamless operation and protect the data center from suffering any loss or damage. Capacity is one of the key characteristics of data center UPS systems that is determined by kilovolt-amperes (kVA) or megavolt-amperes (MVA) rating, along with its runtime, which defines the duration of backup power provision. The primary function of data center UPS is to provide power backup to critical data center equipment, thereby eliminating data loss, equipment damage, and operational downtime. These UPS systems are also responsible for regulating voltage and frequency to ensure the power supplied to equipment is steady and dependable. In addition to this, remote monitoring and management capabilities are also available in many product variants, which provide data center operators with a centralized means of monitoring and managing the UPS performance.
The market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for continuous power supply on the global level. This can be attributed to the rapid digitalization and the rising dependence on technology for conducting business operations, resulting in a higher demand for 24/7 availability of the data centers. In line with this, a considerable rise in cloud computing is leading to the growing number of data centers, which, in turn, has augmented the demand for UPS systems. Moreover, the rising need for eco-friendly solutions for reducing power consumption and achieving energy efficiency is propelling the demand for UPS systems that use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. The market is further fueled by the growing awareness regarding downtime costs and protection against power outages. Apart from this, the growing adoption of modular UPS systems that are easily expandable is also creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Additionally, the emerging trend of edge computing is propelling the demand for more compact UPS systems that can be deployed in remote locations, which, in turn, is providing an impetus to the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, inflating disposable income levels, rising penetration of the internet, emergence of 5G, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players.
