The increasing construction of hyperscale data centers is boosting the demand for UPS that helps to minimize downtime caused due to equipment failure by power surges. A hyperscale data center requires high-quality energy management solutions to reduce the Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) ratio. These data centers require a considerable amount of power for peak data-intensive processes, driving the demand for UPS.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the economic conditions of the U.S. and Canada in 2020. The temporary closure of industrial plants in the region adversely impacted the UPS industry in the first half of 2020 owing to supply chain disruptions and limited availability of electronic components used to manufacture UPS. The industry regained traction in the second half of 2020 with the gradual resumption of manufacturing activities. The high penetration of technologies, such as e-commerce, e-learning, online banking, and video on-demand, resulted in high data traffic in 2020 and 2021, encouraging companies to offer high-quality power management solutions for data centers.
