In

2014, there will lik l b changes i th d
ill likely be h in the demand f
d from some markets / applications
k t li ti
Point of Sales (POS):
The consumer and enterprise survey groups showed this to be a strong area of growth
POS systems need uninterrupted power / access to network in order to complete transactions
Customer transactions are more frequently “cashless” using credit or debit cards
For a small business owner, being able to sell during a blackout can make all the difference
Large stores may transition from small individual UPS units for each register to a UPS / Generator installation
that supports the entire building
Desktop PCs:
The consumer and enterprise survey groups show this to be an area of weakening demand for both surge
and UPS products
Increased use of laptops and other portable devices which, by design, have battery backup
Use of centralized “cloud computing” reduces the necessity of local desktop backup
Use of solid state hard drives and backup drives, and new software reduce likelihood of disk crash and data
loss during power outage

16. Summary – Things to Consider
Among many thi
A things, th VDC study will explore the following topics
the t d ill l th f ll i t i
Enterprise Market:
What are the links between an improving economy and demand for power protection?
Which segments / regions will have the highest growth potential?
How does power management and protection tie in to the dominant themes of agility and productivity in
addition to traditional themes such as efficiency?
Technology Shifts:
Will high voltage DC busses become more mainstream in data centers?
Will new IT software / hardware create changes in corporate IT architecture that impact the types and
quantities of power protection products that will be needed?
Consumer Market:
Will increased HDTV and 3D adoption increase the need for higher end power protection products?
What will be the other home use products that will increase power protection demand?
Power Grid Trends:
Will the increasing use of alternate energy sources cause imbalances between supply and demand thereby
increasing the likelihood of power quality issues?
Climate Changes:
Will extreme weather conditions (ice storms, wind, lightning) aggravated by climate change create increased
demand f power protection products?
