POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT MARKET ANALYSIS

Power Distribution Unit MarketSize and Trends

Power distribution unit (also known as main distribution unit) is an electronic device, which is designed to distribute and manage electricity supply, computer, and network devices. Increasing volume of data is one of the major factors leading to high demand for data centers, which is in turn fueling growth of the power distribution unit market. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the number of hyper scale data center was 259 in 2015 and is projected to reach 485 by 2020, globally. Increasing flow of data have led to high demand for high density computing power which creating heat expansion and more challenges for managing IT environment. To overcome these challenges, data center companies need simple network management protocol (SNMP) based solutions, which monitors, tracks and manages server, IT equipment etc. The power distribution unit has features to monitor, track and manage all aspects of data center activity and also provides efficient solutions for data center cooling, security and server management. Hence, due to these features, demand for power distribution units is increasing, globally. Moreover, increasing adoption of cloud technology has also accelerated demand for data centers, which fuels growth of the market of power distribution units. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, by 2020, 92% of the work load will be processed by cloud data centers and only 8% is expected to be processed by conventional data centers.
