1.4 Competitive Analysis

The Indian UPS market is a highly competitive, fragmented, and growing market with both
multinational and Indian suppliers competing for space

The competitiveness in the market is increasing with less barriers for the entry of new
participants, especially in the low end power range (up to 20kVA)

The market has seen the exit of both multinational (Mitsubishi, Siemens) and Indian suppliers
(TVS Electronics Limited) in the last few years primarily due to intense price pressure and a
need or desire or strategic decision to focus on its core areas

Price, after-sales service, and delivery are becoming the key differentiating factors in
addressing the demand of the market

The higher power range segment, especially more than 60kVA onwards is dominated by the
multinational companies with very few Indian suppliers operating in this space

Some Indian suppliers who are operating in the low end power range segment (up to 20kVA )
are forming Joint Ventures (JV) or technical tie-ups or distribution tie-ups to cater to the midend and high-end power ranges (20 kVA onwards) with multinational companies, especially
from Europe, which do not have direct presence in India. This is basically done by the Indian
suppliers to widen their product range and also to increase their margins, which are higher
when compared to those in the low-end power range (up to 20kVA ). Unitek Power Solutions
India Ltd has recently formed a JV with Borri S. p. A., Italy
P1F6-27

13

Competitive Analysis (Contd)

Offline, Line-Interactive and Online UPS, especially up to 10kVA, are sold primarily through
resellers channel partners. From 10kVA to 60kVA, many Online UPS are sold through ValueAdded Resellers (VAR), in addition to being sold by the direct sales team of suppliers. From
60kVA onwards, products are generally sold by direct sales team of suppliers

To offset the increase in the cost of raw materials and other overheads, UPS suppliers are
strengthening their raw material sourcing processes, making their supply chains more efficient
and expanding their distribution networks in order to remain competitive in the market

P1F6-27

1.5 Major Research Findings


Opportunities and Forecasts

The Indian UPS market is projected to exhibit double-digit growth rates up to 2012 resulting
from steady demand from sectors like Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI),
telecom, retail, Information Technology and Information Technology enabled services
(IT/ITES), manufacturing, infrastructure and others

Post 2012, the market may not be able to sustain the double-digit growth as the growth of
major end-user segments may slow down

Robust growth of the UPS market offers opportunity to both multinational and Indian suppliers
to introduce better products at competitive prices with excellent after-sales service support

The total Indian UPS market in 2007 (base year) was pegged at USD 544.4 million (1 USD =
INR 41.3) up from USD 407.2 million (1 USD = INR 45.3) in 2006. In INR terms, the growth
has been 22 percent. In dollar terms, the growth has been 33.7 percent. This is because of 10
percent appreciation of INR with respect to USD in 2007 compared to that in 2006

Overall, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4 percent

P1F6-27

15

1.6 Conclusion

The increase in the costs of manpower and some key components are putting pressure on the
margins of the UPS suppliers

Servicing of especially the larger kVA UPS systems, which is an essential consideration for the
end users, offers UPS suppliers a good opportunity for creating a loyal customer base, thereby
increasing chances for repeat sales in the future

UPS systems over the years have been increasing in complexity, and require specialized
know-how and technical knowledge for both sales and services

Market Overview and Definitions (Contd)


Definitions
A UPS is a device or a network of devices that serves as a form of backup power ensuring a
continuous supply of electrical power to various electronic devices. The power supplied can last
anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the setup of the system and the
equipment.
By deploying these systems, users are expected to be able to conduct the following:

Have sufficient power to keep the equipment running during the time taken to start a
backup generator after a power failure

Minimize the downtime of a power outage by allowing sufficient time to conduct a proper
backup and shut down of networks and computer systems, so as to prevent losss of
important information and data

Adequate power to keep mission-critical applications running during power outages

P1F6-27

20

Market Overview and Definitions (Contd)

Certain UPS systems also serve as power regulators, which prevent the undesirable effects of
power anomalies and ensure that a constant amount of electrical power is supplied. Associated
electronic devices are usually mission-critical in nature and cannot be shut down unexpectedly

This study defines one unit as a single UPS, which consists of a battery, a battery charger or
rectifier, and an inverter. The revenues presented in this study represent the suppliers revenue
(excluding distributors revenue). Revenue consists of unit sales and not of services or any other
complementary products

This study segments the research service by the following power ranges :

Less than 1kVA

1-5 kVA

5.1-20 kVA

20.1-60 kVA

Market Overview and Definitions (Contd)


Standby or Offline UPSStandby UPS systems are one of most commonly used UPS systems.
They are usually used for running the less mission-critical applications. Electrical power flows
from the power grid into the application, and at the same time, charges the battery. When not in
use, the battery remains idle and does not interfere with the running of the application. When
utility power fails, UPS system is kick-started and power flows from the battery into the
application, keeping it running even though it does not receive power from the power grid.
Applications include personal desktops, printers , small servers and others. The topology of the
Standby (Offline) UPS system is available in the below 5 kVA range.
Line Interactive UPSMost commonly found in small businesses and small server applications.
Electrical power flows from the power grid through a transfer switch and into an inverter, which
is connected to the output of the UPS system. When power from the power grid fails, the
transfer switch is opened and power flows from the battery to the application. Line interactive
UPS system also provides additional filtering and protection. This topology of UPS systems
dominates the UPS types in the 0.5 to 5 kVA range, although it is also available in the below 20
kVA range.

P1F6-27

23

Market Overview and Definitions (Contd)


Online UPSOnline UPS systems are generally more expensive than the other two and are
mainly sold in the 3 kVA and above power range. In an online UPS system, the primary power
path is to the inverter instead of from the power grid. The battery, along with a rectifier plays the
major role in powering the application, even under normal situations. Using a double conversion
topology, the power from the grid is converted from AC to DC and then to AC again, thus
effectively reducing all noises and harmonics that might be generated due to an unstable power
supply. This provides a near ideal electrical performance.

Standby or Offline and Line-Interactive UPS together contribute approximately 14-16 percent and
Online UPS, the balance amount by revenue of the total Indian UPS market

Industry Challenges (Contd)

Uneven Tax Structure, Issue of Entry Forms and Octroi in Some States
Taxes are not uniform in all the states in India. A few states such as West Bengal insist on entry
forms for any goods entering the state, while other states such as Maharashtra charge octroi on
goods entering selected cities in them. This results in delay in delivery of goods and also
increased product prices. Vendors supplying pan-India orders (for a single customer) suffer in
terms of payment delays, Liquidated Damage (LD) and others
Cheap Imports from China and Taiwan
China and Taiwan are the major countries for sourcing low price UPS systems. The cost of
importing UPS for most participants works out cheaper than manufacturing in India (mostly for
lower rating UPS less than 10 kVA). Line Interactive and online UPS, especially up to 10kVA
are mostly imported from China and Taiwan. This has resulted in only a few suppliers (WeP
Peripherals, Su-Kam, Microtek, Luminous and others) manufacturing less than 10kVA UPS
systems in India.

P1F6-27

27

Industry Challenges (Contd)

Increasing Raw Material Prices and Manpower Costs


Raw material prices have increased drastically in the last 2-3 years apart from the sharp
increase in battery prices (due to increase in lead prices). This has resulted in UPS suppliers
struggling to maintain their margins
Underrated Sales of UPS by Some Participants
Some suppliers sell underrated UPS in the market to gain higher margins. This affects other
suppliers in the market selling UPS as per their correct rating. This trend is prominent in the less
than 1kVA UPS and to some extent in the 1-5kVA UPS power range

Market Restraints (Contd)


Cannibalization of Desktop Sales by Laptops Limits the Growth of the Market
As laptops are gaining popularity over desktops, the sales of UPS in less than 1 kVA and 1-5
kVA is getting hit. Laptops have an internal battery and do not require an UPS. These two power
ranges are catering to the desktop PCs.

Improvement in Power Quality in Some Regions or Cities in the Country Curtails the
Demand for UPS Systems for Non critical Loads

Privatization of power distribution network in some regions or cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai,
Kolkata and others have resulted in improved power quality with lesser power outages, burnouts,
and voltage fluctuations. This has had a minor impact on the UPS market for 1 kVA and the 1-5
kVA range, typically serving the home, SOHO and SME / SMB segment (UPS used for protection
of non-critical IT equipment)

2.7 Market and Technology Trends


Market Trends

The Indian UPS market has witnessed double-digit growth in the last two years and is projected
to exhibit double-digit growth rates up to 2012. Post 2012, the market may not be able to
sustain the double-digit growth as the growth of major end-user segments may slow down

End users are gradually shifting from less than 1kVA range to the next higher power range (1 5) kVA

SOHO/SMEs, major end users of less than 1 kVA range UPS are gradually shifting from
standalone UPS to small centralized UPS, automatically moving to the 1-5 and 5.1-20 kVA
range

Less than 1 kVA segment was historically dependent on the home segment and it is likely to
continue to remain so

Increased usage of laptop sales at the cost of desktop sales has affected the less than 1 kVA
segment. Suppliers are countering this trend by focusing more on the smaller cities (tier 2 and
tier 3) where mostly the desktops are sold these days

A major chunk of less than 1 kVA UPS is imported from China and Taiwan. This trend is also
observed in the 1-10 kVA online range but to a lesser extent

P1F6-27

39

Market and Technology Trends (Contd)

Modular UPS systems are gradually gaining acceptance in the market primarily because of hot
swapping features and the flexibility they offer in terms of redundancy

The demand for more than 200 kVA power range, especially from the manufacturing sector is
driving the sales for rotary UPS in India, affecting the static UPS market in the more than
200kVA power range

The contribution of 20.1-60kVA, 60.1-200 kVA, and above 200 kVA power range is likely to
increase to 13 percent, 22 percent, and 14 percent respectively of the total UPS revenue by
2014, from 11 percent, 18.7 percent, and 9 percent respectively in 2007 as a result of steady
increase in demand from BFSI, telecom, IT/ITES sector and others

The contribution of less than 1kVA, 1-5 kVA, and 5.1-20 kVA is likely to decrease to 11.3
percent, 18.5 percent, and 21.2 percent respectively, of the total UPS revenue by 2014 from
14.5 percent, 21 percent, and 25.8 percent respectively, in 2007

5.1-20 kVA is a competitive power range with both Indian as well as MNCs operating in this
space. The competition is tough with shrinking margins. Indian UPS suppliers not having a
major focus on the 20 kVA power range are expected to migrate to the rapidly growing more
than 20 kVA range, to avoid the cutthroat competition and shrinking margins

Suppliers, in order to meet end-users preference on reducing downtime, increased energy


savings, and system efficiency, are making efforts to incorporate the same in their product
offerings
P1F6-27

40

Market and Technology Trends (Contd)

Some UPS suppliers are planning to replace the lead acid batteries by Ni-Cad or Lithium-ion
batteries in the long run, since the lead acid battery cost is prohibitively high at present. Ni-Cad
batteries have been in use for a long time but are not preferred by the suppliers

To counter the increasing battery costs, suppliers are planning to launch solar powered UPS

P1F6-27

41

Market and Technology Trends (Contd)


Technology Trends

Modular UPS systems are gradually gaining prominence and are replacing conventional UPS
systems, primarily due to hot swapping features and the flexibility they offer in terms of
redundancy

Currently, end users prefer UPS with higher backup and online UPS with isolation transformers.
Suppliers have started providing solutions for the same

Use of Insulated Gas Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) rectifiers is gradually increasing

End users preference for multilevel redundancies right from grid to the load point has made the
leading suppliers look for a viable solution for the end-users preference

P1F6-27

42

2.8 Pricing Trends

Prices of UPS systems across all power ranges have reduced in the last two to three years due
to intense price competition and cheaper imports from China and Taiwan

Prices of 600 VA UPS, one of the highest selling category in less than 1 kVA power range, vary
between USD35-70 for Line-Interactive topology. Price for an online UPS of the same rating is
in the range of USD200-250

The table below indicates approximate price reduction across various UPS power ranges

4.5 Demand Analysis

Huge demand from SOHO,SMB/SMEs, government sector, BFSIs and others are expected to
drive the demand in the 1-5 kVA UPS segment

Demand from SOHO, SMB/SMEs is due to the increased PC penetration, IT infrastructure


investments, IT network upgrades and others. There has been a gradual shift in this sector from
a small standalone system to an entry level centralized UPS system

The various computerization initiatives of both the central and state governments have fuelled
the demand for UPS in this power range. This trend is likely to continue

BFSI market has also fuelled the demand in a major way. Bank ATMs, which increased rapidly
over the last three to four years have been one of the major end users of UPS in the power
range of 1-5kVA. Recently, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central bank in India, has
recommended ATM sharing among the various banks. This may lead to a lesser number of
new ATMs being rolled out, which is likely to affect the market growth of this segment in the
short term. Co-operative banks, which have not invested substantially in their IT infrastructure
to-date, are gradually investing in improving the same

P1F6-27

4.7 Pricing Trends

The prices of 1-5 kVA UPS systems have reduced by approximately 10 to 15 percent over the
last two to three years

Key reason for the price decline has been the intense competition due to increasing number of
suppliers in this segment of the market

Recent increase in battery costs has led to shrinking margins of suppliers
