Better Trained Manpower Crucial to Convince Reluctant End Users to

Adopt UPS Based on New Technologies

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia

/PRNewswire/ -- Several projects that

were deferred during the economic downturn are now getting off the ground,

generating demand for UPS systems. The market is expected to recover fully

by 2015, mainly due to governments' emphasis on cloud computing, green

technology and smart grids.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.powersupplies.frost.com),

Asia-

Pacific Uninterruptible Power Supplies Market

, finds that the market

earned revenues of

US$1.46 billion

in 2011 and estimates this to reach

US$2.03

billion

in 2017.

Data centres' popularity has raised the profile of cloud computing in

Southeast

Asia

,

Australia

and

Japan

. Following this development, governments have been

eager to adopt cloud computing to accelerate economic development, which,

in turn, has accelerated the uptake of UPS systems.

"Several public and private companies are included in governments'

programmes to convert all government agencies' computing systems to a

public cloud system, creating a cast market for UPS devices," says Frost &

Sullivan Research Analyst Avanthika Satheesh.

With the existing power network becoming unreliable and the Fukushima

earthquake causing power disruptions in

Japan

, the sales of single phase UPS

soared. End users will also look to adopt UPS systems once companies provide

better product services. Participants can gain a competitive advantage by

offering a combination of a warranty on efficiency, aftersales service, 24/7

customer service and spare parts.

The mining, manufacturing and power utility industries will be the biggest

contributors to market revenues. The introduction of smart grids all over the

region is also creating considerable opportunities for the UPS market, as these

grids require constant monitoring, intelligent control and communication.

However, end users in the mining and power utility sectors tend to be reluctant

to adopt new technologies such green technology due to fears that the

unproven technology could halt their production or cause accidents. Therefore,

UPS products supplied to these sectors have to meet customized technical

specifications.

"Customers' expectations could challenge UPS manufacturers since they

generally lack expertise and industry knowledge in the mining, chemical, power

and manufacturing sectors," notes Satheesh. "Manufacturers will be better

equipped to meet end-user demand by participating in frequent development

programs and training so they have skilled manpower."
