Power distribution units are equipped to provide computers and other networking devices in data centers with electric power. They have several outputs and are able to calculate and monitor the sum of transmitted power. High-amperage connector versions of power delivery devices have multiple high to low amperage outlets. They are mostly installed to ensure the efficient transfer of electricity to various equipment, such as generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and water suppliers.
The global power distribution unit market revenue was valued at >USD 3.50 Billion in 2019. Increasing investment in industrial projects, rising number of data centers, increasing need for continuous power demand, and growing adoption of cloud computing is expected to open new opportunities for power distribution unit industry over the forecast period.
At a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%, the size of the worldwide Power Distribution Unit market is projected to reach US$ 4 Billion in 2032.
Primary power distribution unit capabilities include power utilization analysis, minimized average power consumption, minimization of server downtime, and improved uptime. Rack power delivery systems transmit power to the machinery in order to preserve application output and productivity. With the application of power distribution systems having high amperage connectors, several low amperage outlets may be supplied from high amperage outlets.
