Higher Demand for Increased Speed and Data to Handle Triple Play Applications Boosts the European Direct Current Power Systems Market

The key drivers of the European DC power systems market will be the upgrading of broadband and wireless networks across Europe to handle third generation (3G) and triple play applications. The existing fixed line copper backbone is being replaced by optic fibre to manage the increased traffic. “With an increasing awareness about energy consumption, there is a greater demand for energy efficient solutions,” says the analyst of this research. “The market will be dominated by manufacturers who provide reliable, economical and energy efficient products with value added features for monitoring energy and battery usage.” The wireless end-user segment is expected to experience higher growth rates due to the demand for 3G services. The small power DC segment is anticipated to grow at a marginally faster rate because of the drive for energy-efficient devices. Datacenter is a new market with promising growth potential.

However, the global economic downturn had a serious negative impact on the telecom end user segment and the recovery is expected to be slow and steady. “DC power systems are viewed as commodity products by telecom companies,” explains the analyst. “The end-user continues to resist accepting and paying a premium for new features that drive energy efficiency.”

Manufacturers should improve their marketing efforts to create greater awareness on the lower cost of ownership associated with energy-efficient products. “Companies that provide reliable products should supplement them with value-added features such as energy-efficient and energy-monitoring solutions,” concludes the analyst. “Additionally, they should increase their service offerings to include preventive and battery maintenance to gain greater market share.”
