The Power Distribution Unit market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for power distribution units is projected to expand rapidly in the near future, reaching a valuation of $6.55 billion in 2029 and experiencing an 11.3%.
compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The projected growth during this period can be traced to factors such as the development of smart cities, increased attention on energy storage solutions, commitment to sustainable practices, burgeoning concerns about energy efficiency, and improved security features. The forecast period is also anticipated to witness significant trends such as advancements in battery technology, increased incorporation of hybrid clouds, integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, a rise in remote management and automation, and emphasis on customization and scalability.
The power distribution unit (PDU) market is predicted to expand fueled by the growth in the number of data centers. A data center, which is a physical infrastructure housing key data and applications, requires a power distribution unit (PDU) to provide standard electric outlets for its functioning. To illustrate, the Korea Data Center Council (KDCC), a body promoting data center industry advancement in Korea, reported that the total IT load capacity of colocation data centers stood at 430 MW in February 2022, making up 11% of the complete IT load in the APAC region. Additionally, according to forecasts by Savills Korea, the total IT load of commercial data centers in Korea is likely to rise by 700 MW from 2021 to 2023, representing 15% of the total capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, the proliferation in the number of data centers is stimulating the growth of the power distribution unit (PDU) market.
