Market Statistics

Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the Data Center Power Distribution Units Market:

The global Data Center Power Distribution Units Market is segmented based on PDU Type, Power Rating Type, Capacity Type, Power Phase Type, Demand Type, Data Center Type, and Region.

Based on PDU Type-

• Based on PDU type, the data center power distribution units market is segmented into basic PDUs, metered PDUs, switched PDUs, and hybrid PDUs (MBOS & Others).
• Basic PDUs currently dominate due to low cost and legacy usage, while switched PDUs will grow fastest with rising colocation data centers.
• Basic PDUs are the most prevalent because of their cost, simplicity, and extensive presence within legacy infrastructures, making them suitable for smaller environments and applications.
• They are affordable and easy to install, which makes them the favorite among most companies. Switched PDUs are projected to increase at a faster rate, influenced by the proliferation of colocation data centers.
• Switched PDUs provide remote monitoring, power management, and improved energy management, which are needed to operate contemporary data centers. As enterprises keep expanding, the requirement for energy efficiency, uptime reliability, and remote management will drive the incorporation of switched PDUs in large-scale environments.

Based on Power Rating Type-

• Based on power rating type, the data center power distribution units’ market is segmented into Up to 240V and Above 240V.
• PDUs rated above 240V dominate the data center market as they efficiently support higher power density, lower energy loss, and meet the increasing load demands of modern and hyperscale data centers
• PDUs rated above 240V are the majority in the data center market because they can carry higher power densities needed by newer IT equipment.
• They accommodate more servers per rack, lowering the number of PDUs required and enhancing space optimization. Increased voltage distribution lowers current, thereby decreasing I²R losses (heat produced), and results in lower energy waste and cooling costs.
• Hyperscale and enterprise data centers fueled by AI, cloud computing, and big data require resilient, scalable power infrastructure. Above-240V PDUs facilitate improved load balancing, greater efficiency, and meeting global standards, making them critical to future data center operations.

Based on Capacity Type-

• Based on capacity type, the data center power distribution units’ market is segmented into Up to 10 KW, 10 to 20 KW, and Above 20 KW.
• PDUs with up to 10 kW capacity dominate the market as data centers were previously smaller and mid-sized, with 10 to 20 KW PDUs expected to grow fastest.
• PDUs with capacities up to 10 kW are the market leaders at present since most of the current data centers were initially designed as smaller or mid-sized facilities with lower power density needs.
• These PDUs are economical and adequate for typical IT loads. But with the fast development of cloud computing, AI, and edge computing, newer data centers are being constructed with higher-density racks and higher energy needs.
• This transition is causing the quicker use of 10 to 20 kW PDUs, which will be able to handle current high-performance servers and equipment. They provide improved scalability, energy efficiency, and are suitable for next-generation data center environments.

Based on Power Phase Type-

• Based on power phase type, the data center power distribution units’ market is segmented into single-phase and three-phase PDUs.
• Single-phase is dominant for simplicity and cost, while three-phase grows faster due to higher efficiency, scalability, and industrial demand.
• Single-phase PDUs are prevalent in most data centers because of their affordability, ease of deployment, and applicability in small to medium-sized data centers with limited power needs.
• They are common in edge data centers as well as old systems where there is no need for high power density. Three-phase PDUs are, however, increasing at a fast pace with recent data centers, particularly hyperscale and colocation data centers, requiring more power per rack.
• Three-phase systems provide greater power more effectively, decrease cable clutter, and enhance load balancing. With the increased application of AI, big data, and high-density servers, the demand for scalable and power-efficient power solutions is driving three-phase PDU adoption.

Based on Demand Type-

• Based on demand type, the data center power distribution units’ market is segmented into new installation and replacement.
• New installations dominate due to expanding infrastructure, rising energy demand, and industries needing modern, scalable power systems.
• New deployments control the PDU market as world infrastructure growth gathers momentum due to increased urbanization, digitalization, and data center proliferation.
• Emerging markets are investing heavily in new facilities compared to refurbishing old ones, and this raises the demand for efficient, energy-saving power systems.
• The development of cloud computing, IoT, and AI also necessitates expandable and reliable power distribution, which tips in favor of new deployments over legacy upgrades.
• Besides, greenfield deployments also enable seamless integration of advanced technologies, like intelligent and three-phase PDUs, right at the beginning. As efficiency, uptime, and future-proofing become top of mind for industries, new deployments keep leading the market over replacement deployments.

Based on Data Center Type-

• Based on data center type, the data center power distribution units’ market is segmented into Enterprise, Colocation, Hyperscale, and Edge.
• Colocation data centers are poised to dominate the data center power distribution units market in the coming years, fueled by soaring data demand and cloud-driven expansion.”
• With companies shifting away from having and maintaining their facilities, colocation presents a cost-effective and flexible solution. Colocation data centers provide sophisticated infrastructure, high uptime, and scalability, which makes them suitable for managing increasing data loads. Cloud adoption growth, AI applications, and digital transformation are encouraging businesses to turn to cost-effective, outsourced solutions.
• Colocation data centers are also incorporating smart PDUs that include features such as real-time monitoring, energy efficiency, and remote manageability—functionality necessary in today's high-performance computing ecosystems and green objectives.
