Advantages of Superior Reliability, Efficiency, and Reduced Footprint Trigger Growth in the World DIN Rail Power Supplies Market

Although the world DIN rail power supplies market witnessed a downslide between 2008 and 2009, it is expected to bounce back to positive growth in 2010. Post-recession demand is poised to drive the market in the short term. Product features such as superior reliability, high energy efficiency, and reduced footprint will buoy the outlook for the world DIN rail power supplies market during the long term. DIN rail power supplies are undergoing rapid technological advancements in terms of basic capabilities and functionalities. The new products have features such as overload capacity to withstand high inrush loads, LEDs for status monitoring and toggle switches for enhanced scalability, a wide input range, and a wide operating range of temperatures. The universal input feature enables manufacturers to sell their products in international markets where the line voltage may be different from that of domestic markets. Wide range acceptability also helps to monitor voltage disturbances over a larger area, thus protecting devices. "The market for DIN rail power supplies is predominantly centered around the industrial end-user segment," notes the analyst of this research service. "However, the demand from markets such as renewable energy and telecommunications is slowly but steadily growing; opportunities abound in segments such as lighting systems, solar energy applications, and building automation." The inherent benefits of the technology will facilitate the expansion of business beyond the industrial realm.

The global economic crisis and the ensuing recession in many countries have resulted in considerable loss of revenues for most vendors in the market and reduction in the overall market size. Industrial activities are expected to grow at a slow rate as well. Despite the lackluster economic scenario, many large companies with broad product portfolios intensified their focus on DIN rail product lines during this time. Manufacturers with DIN rail power supplies as their main products have maintained their market positions, indicating a strong competitive environment. The growing influence of Asian manufacturers, including those from South Asia, offers a truly global perspective to the current market scenario. The presence of these Asian vendors has resulted in a considerable decline in the average market price of these products. As product characteristics do not allow for much room for innovation, vendors in this space find it challenging to achieve product differentiation. In spite of the odds, participants are striving hard to stay ahead of competition and mitigate the downward trend in prices.

Opportunities in emerging markets and new end-user segments such as renewable energy are strategic choices that industry participants must consider. To ensure successful business outcomes, participants must roll out basic level products with attractive pricing and target the emerging markets. However, the industrialized countries still offer the greatest scope. Participants would be wise to focus on both areas. "Considering the overall circumstances, the rate of growth may be slower but revenue growth can be achieved by volume growth," concludes the analyst. "The market will have to perform at optimum level in the coming years to attain the potential predicted for the sector during the pre-recession stage."
