One of the key factors driving the data center rack PDU market growth is the growing preference for intelligent rack PDUs. The power management system is one of the essential components of data center systems. As data centers need to operate continuously, they are relying highly on the power management systems such as rack PDUs that enable the data centers to operate continuously without any issues such as blackouts.
Thus, data center service providers invest huge sums of money in integrating a highly efficient power management system. As the need for data servers continues to rise, data center operators need to constantly monitor the power across the entire power chain, including rack PDUs. Some of the main features of PDUs offered by vendors include monitor voltage, power, and energy at the input and branch circuit levels. Hence, such applications are expected to drive the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the data center rack PDU market growth is the growing interest in green data centers. As data centers consume a significant amount of electricity, which is usually generated from fossil fuels, the high cost of electricity can increase the overall operational cost of data centers, and the pollution generated by data center facilities can be harmful to their location of operations.
Hence, there is a growing concern about the environmental hazards of this operation which led to the increasing focus on the use of eco-friendly and renewable sources of energy to power their data centers. Some of the key concerns for data center operators across the globe include carbon emissions and high-power consumption. Thus there is a growing adoption of Eco-friendly data centers that typically use low-heat-emitting building materials and heat pumps, as well as evaporative cooling mechanisms. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
Increased power consumption in racks is one of the key challenges hindering the data center rack PDU market growth. Power consumption is one of the major challenges in the data center rack PDU market and a key cost for data center operators. Some of the key cost components related to power include power consumption, establishing a robust power distribution system, and maintenance.
There is a significant increase in power consumption in countries like the US, the UK, and Germany, where the number of data center establishments is high and continues to increase, indicating large volumes of power consumption. Due to this increase in the number of data centers and power consumption, there is an increase in power requirement leading to a supply-demand imbalance in the power supply value chain. Thus such factors are expected to hinder the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the non-intelligent rack PDU segment will be significant during the forecast period. Even though, the market for basic PDUs is declining, shipments of these non-intelligent rack PDUs are witnessing growth only due to the benefits that they offer, such as space-saving and cost-effectiveness in power delivery to the rack equipment.

The non-intelligent rack PDU segment was valued at USD 828.60 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. There is a growing adoption of cloud computing by SMEs which is expected to drive the high demand for this segment of PDUs. Even though there is a high demand for non-intelligent PDUs from SMEs, their market share is significantly lower than the intelligent PDU segment due to certain drawbacks of basic PDUs, one of which is that they do not provide remote access and monitoring. Due to the increase in the adoption of cloud-based services among SMEs, it will lead them to opt for colocation facilities, especially retail colocation which includes power infrastructure, cooling solutions, network bandwidth, and security up to the rack level. As these colocation vendors offer uninterrupted services and maintenance, it increases the productivity and performance of the rack. As a result, it is expected to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
The increase in the number of vendors that are offering a broad range of innovative products is expected to drive the growth of intelligent rack PDUs during the forecast period. There is increasing adoption of intelligent rack PDUs as the number of racks and servers in a data center environment increases, and the management of all the servers from a single control plane is becoming a necessity. Factors such as the deployment of data centers are expected to grow among industry verticals such as healthcare, retail, education, and others to manage edge data resources which in turn is expected to drive the demand for intelligent rack PDUs to monitor and maintain the power management system. One of the key advantages of this segment is that The installation and configuration of these systems also require less expertise when compared with traditional facilities. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
The wide applications of the colocation segment in enterprises are expected to drive growth during the forecast period. Data centre colocation can be referred to as a facility that rents computing servers, storage, and network equipment. They are mainly built with private racks that enterprises can rent to operate their IT infrastructure. One of the key advantages of this segment is that they enable SMEs to carry out operations using modern infrastructure at reduced subscription costs. Some of the key benefits of this segment include significantly reducing the CAPEX on infrastructure and improving the connectivity required for operational services. Hence, such factors are to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
The need for digital transformation by adopting cloud infrastructure in financial services is driving the adoption of hosting services during the forecast period. One of the key advantages of the hosting services segment is that it enables end-users to gain access to interconnected IT infrastructure and reduce costs and enable a high level of network security and flexibility. Also, the providers of hosting infrastructure services can help end-users, such as BFSI, to reduce the cost of big data management by converting their capital expenditure into operational expenditure. Hence such benefits of the hosting services segment are expected to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of the global data center rack PDU market during the forecast period.
