Report: Data Center Power Distribution Forecast To Be A Half-billion Dollar Market By 2016
The report quantifies the market for transformer-based power distribution units, remote power panels, static transfer switches, branch circuit monitoring, and overhead busway.
Global revenue from data center power distribution hardware is forecast to reach $505.9 million by the end of 2016 according to a recently published IHS study: Data Center Power Distribution Report – 2015. The report quantifies the market for transformer-based power distribution units, remote power panels, static transfer switches, branch circuit monitoring, and overhead busway. All are used in the power path downstream of the uninterruptible power supply and typically located in the white space of the data center.
New IHS data estimates the global data center power distribution market to have been worth $488.8 million in 2014, 3.7% growth over 2013. While this appears to be fairly moderate growth, in line with other data center infrastructure markets, looking at each product type separately paints a more varied picture, as there are some significant product shifts occurring.
