Global Data Center UPS Market Size, Share, Trends, and Forecast 2026-2031 | AI, Hyperscale, and Li-ion Demand Propel 13.68% CAGR to US$30.74 Billion
Dublin, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Global Data Center UPS Market Landscape 2026-2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global data center UPS market was valued at USD 14.24 Billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 30.74 Billion by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 13.68%. Market expansion is being driven by investments in hyperscale facilities, AI-ready infrastructure, cloud platforms, edge data centers, and high-density computing environments. As rack power requirements increase, operators are prioritizing resilient, scalable, and energy-efficient UPS systems that can protect mission-critical workloads.
Data Center UPS Market Trends
Lithium-ion batteries and energy storage systems are gaining momentum as data center operators deploy onsite power systems and microgrids. Compared with conventional technologies, lithium-ion systems offer higher energy density, longer operational life, reduced maintenance, and a smaller footprint. STACK Infrastructure's ZUR02 data center in Zurich, for example, uses double-conversion UPS systems with lithium-ion batteries and N+1 redundancy to strengthen operational resilience.
Recent product and project developments demonstrate the pace of innovation. In March 2026, FIAMM Energy Technology launched its Pure Guard battery range using Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology for mission-critical UPS applications. The range reduces battery footprint by more than 20%, supports 800VDC architecture, enables faster recharging, and offers up to 15 years of service life. In June 2025, Redwood Materials and Crusoe deployed a 12 MW battery-powered microgrid at an AI data center in Nevada using repurposed EV lithium-ion battery packs.
AI-enabled UPS platforms are another major market trend. Operators are integrating machine learning, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring to evaluate battery health, load behavior, thermal conditions, and equipment performance. These capabilities can improve efficiency and reduce downtime risks across complex data center environments.
Market Segmentation Insights
Lithium-ion UPS systems are expected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period as hyperscale operators and AI infrastructure developers seek longer lifecycle performance, reduced maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership. VRLA batteries will retain a significant market share because of their established installed base, reliability, and cost advantages, although adoption is expected to shift gradually toward lithium-ion technologies.
Flywheel UPS systems are projected to experience steady demand in hyperscale, colocation, industrial, and other mission-critical facilities requiring high-power density, rapid discharge, and minimal maintenance. By capacity, the greater than 1,000 kVA category is anticipated to grow fastest, supported by rising rack densities, larger AI deployments, and the construction of hyperscale campuses requiring redundant high-capacity power infrastructure.
Market coverage includes VRLA, Li-ion, and flywheel technologies; capacities of < =500 kVA, 500-1,000 kVA, and >1,000 kVA; and Tier I & II, Tier III, and Tier IV facilities.
Regional Data Center UPS Market Outlook
The United States remains the world's largest data center UPS market. Expansion by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle, CoreWeave, and other operators continues to increase demand for modular infrastructure, lithium-ion batteries, and high-capacity UPS systems.
Asia-Pacific (APAC) is the second-largest regional market and is expected to remain among the fastest-growing. China leads the region in installed data center capacity, while India is attracting substantial investment from hyperscale cloud providers, colocation companies, and AI infrastructure developers. Japan, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand are also expanding their data center ecosystems.
Europe remains strategically important, led by the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and the Nordic countries. Higher rack densities, sustainability targets, legacy facility modernization, and continued hyperscale and colocation development are supporting demand for modular, high-efficiency UPS systems.
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) is forecast to demonstrate strong growth momentum as governments advance digital transformation, smart city, cloud, and colocation initiatives. The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead investment in hyperscale and AI-ready facilities, while South Africa remains Africa's largest data center hub. Kenya, Nigeria, Morocco, and Egypt are also attracting new digital infrastructure projects.
