Market dynamics
3 factors across 3 forcesIncreasing Number of Data Centers
Data centers and spaces dedicated to holding data servers to store and process data have grown rapidly as data demand has risen exponentially. According to CloudScene (Australia), as of January 2021, there were around 8,000 data centers globally. With the rapid development of cloud computing, digitalization, and data-driven applications, data centers need consistent and scalable power distribution to support their operations.
A power distribution unit (PDU) acts as the primary hub for distributing electric power to multiple destinations connected within a data center. This ensures seamless distribution of power to critical infrastructure such as server racks and networking equipment. PDUs are critical for data centers to function efficiently and reliably. From supplying power to servers and networking equipment to facilitating cooling systems, PDUs are crucial in ensuring the facility's operational functionality and robustness. Moreover, increasing emphasis from market players on introducing innovative power distribution solutions for data centers is projected to stimulate market growth.

By Type
- The Switched PDUs Segment to Dominate the Power Distribution Units Market
- The switched PDUs segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 31% of the global power distribution units market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to its ability to disconnect, remotely monitor, and connect to data center loads, rising need to manage critical loads, avoid wasted power, ensure equipment is plugged in to the correct phase, and schedule downtime for power re-balancing.
- Moreover, the switched PDUs segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of this segment is driven by the rising need for switched PDUs for efficient & flexible power distribution, and management of data centers.
By Phase
- The Three-phase Segment to Dominate the Power Distribution Units Market
- The three-phase segment is expected to account for the larger share of over 68% of the global power distribution units market.
- A large market share of the segment is driven by the widespread use of three-phase power among large consumer bases such as data centers, laboratories, and military & defense sectors, where secure power supplies are essential.
- Moreover, three-phase power provides more balanced power loads and allows a greater flow of power into a server racks in data center, thus propelling segment growth.
- Moreover, the three-phase segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of this segment is driven by rising adoption of three-phase PDU systems to support high density IP applications and minimize the cost of cables delivering that power.
By End-use Industry
- The IT & Telecom Segment to Dominate the Power Distribution Units Market
- The IT & telecom segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 32% of the global power distribution units market.
- A large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising use of PDUs in data centers and telecommunication facilities to provide efficient power distribution, remote monitoring, enhanced reliability, reduced energy consumption, scalability, and flexibility.
- However, the manufacturing & processing industries segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth in this segment is driven by rising need of PDUs in manufacturing facilities, factories, and warehouses to effectively manage power distribution in heavy machinery, production lines, and various industrial equipment facilitating reliable and secure electrical power distribution.
