Remote Power Panel Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Floor-Standing, Wall-Mounted and Other Types), Application (Network Cabinets, Server Rooms and Other Applications) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Remote Power Panel Market is accounted for $1.02 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1.52 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Modern power distribution systems must include remote power panels because they offer a reliable and efficient way to monitor and control power distribution assets from a central location. It's crucial to keep up with the most recent innovations and trends in the Remote Power Panel market as a consultant or industry expert at the VP level.
According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2022, the primary energy consumption in the region increased from 220, 48 exajoules in 2013 to 272.45 exajoules in 2021. According to China's National Energy Administration, the country's renewable installed capacity reached 1.063 terawatts by the end of 2021, accounting for about 44.8% of the total installed generation capacity. According to the National Energy Administration (NEA) data, China installed 87.4 GW of solar in 2022.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Adoption of digital technologies in IT sector
A strong push towards digitization is driving the IT sector's rapid growth. To avoid data loss and assure automatic data backups, cloud storage solutions are becoming more and more popular. With the rapid improvements in the IT industry and the rising popularity of digital technologies and cloud services, there is a growing need for reliable data centres. Data centre investments are finding a variety of new prospects as a result of investments in digitalization. These initiatives are expected to increase demand for RPPs since they offer an essential layer of redundancy and failover security, aid in power usage optimisation and energy cost reduction, and allow IT managers to control power usage from any location in the world.
Restraint:Technological advancements in power distribution systems will reduce the usage of RPPs
In light of their many advantages, various power distribution structural designs utilising overhead busway distribution systems are now being included in data centres more frequently for power distribution. Initially, major power distribution units (PDUs), which branch out to smaller remote power panels (RPPs), which provide power whips to racks, were used for power distribution in data centres as a normal industrial practise. Due to the frequent component replacements needed for power distribution, electricians are compelled to constantly utilise fresh whips, even when they are overheated. As a result, fewer PDUs and RPPs are required for power distribution.
Opportunity:Huge investments, along with enforcement of stringent standards
Data centres generate a sizable amount of carbon emissions and are heavy users of water and electricity. Investors now have the chance to secure data centres with carbon-free energy sources thanks to these innovations. In order to better meet sustainability objectives, measurement and monitoring of data centre energy consumption are gaining popularity. Data centre operators may remotely manage and monitor power consumption with the help of RPPs, which enables them to spot places where energy is being wasted and make changes to lower energy consumption. This is crucial at a time when demand for data processing and storage is rising and data centres are playing a bigger role in the world's technological infrastructure.
Threat:Entry barriers due to difficulty in complying with complex standards
Vendors of remote power panels must adhere to all legal requirements that apply to power supplies for data centres. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the European Committee for Electro-technical Standardisation, and the American National Standards Institute/Building Industry Consulting Services International (ANSI/BICSI) have established guidelines for how data centres must use electricity. As a result, the majority of vendors prefer to consume power in accordance with the needs of data centres, which has hampered the growth of the data centre power market. The accreditation process for new market entrants is challenging while adhering to these requirements.
Covid-19 Impact
The spread of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) has resulted in mass production shutdowns and problems along the supply chain across a number of industry sectors, particularly in China where the virus originated, but wider disruptions are now being felt as other jurisdictions take action to contain or delay the spread of the virus. Due to the shortage of labour in these nations as a result of restrictions put in place by governments to stem the spread of COVID-19 in the early stages of the crisis, the market share of remote power panels was negatively impacted. Nevertheless, the pandemic had little effect on the electricity industry, which supported the ongoing need for ECPs.
The floor-standing segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The floor-standing segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Installation options for floor-standing remote power panels include freestanding or bolted-down options. They can hold more circuit breakers and other electrical components than wall-mounted panels since they are often larger and more durable. Their segmental expansion is boosted by their high power capacity, improved durability, and flexible installation advantages.
The data centres segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The data centres segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Over the past few years, data centres have changed from being privately owned, strictly regulated on-premises facilities housing traditional IT infrastructure for the sole use of one company to remote facilities or networks of facilities owned by cloud service providers housing virtualized IT infrastructure for the shared use of numerous companies and customers.
Region with highest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to new innovations and rising trends are continually appearing in the North American data centre market. The demand for efficient power distribution is driving the market for remote power panels, along with other major trends like the rise of hyper scale, edge computing, and modular data centres.
Region with highest CAGR:Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rapid industrialization is taking place in these countries, and all industrial operations are moving online. Investments in data centres are soaring in the area as privatisation of the industrial sector rises.
