These devices require constant connectivity, which, in turn, requires dependable telecom power systems. In addition, telecom power systems are a critical component that provides power to these networks to ensure their availability to serve the traffic demands.

Growing 5G connections

5G networks require the deployment of more small cells and base stations to support high-speed and low latency connections. Such expansion requires the installation of more telecom power systems to cater to the increasing number of network nodes. Moreover, 5G technology dissipates more power per data unit than previous generations owing to high frequency and increased processing demands. Telecom power systems are designed to address these higher energy requirements efficiently. Apart from this, various telecom operators are investing to transform the legacy infrastructure and build new infrastructure for 5G, which encompasses investing in better power systems for fulfilling new demands and reliability standards of 5G networks, thereby boosting the telecom power systems market revenue. As per an article published on the website of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration U.S. Department of Commerce in 2023, the global 5G connections are forecasted to reach 5.9 billion by the end of 2027.

Increasing adoption of green power

Rising regulatory pressure to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability is encouraging telecom operators to adopt green power solutions, which, in turn, is driving the demand for telecom power systems that incorporate renewable energy sources, supporting compliance with environmental rules. Furthermore, renewable green power solutions like solar and wind power, offer long-term cost savings compared to traditional fossil fuel-based power generation. Telecom operators are motivated to invest in green power systems to lower operational costs and improve overall energy efficiency. Besides this, most telecom operators are focused on implementing CSR strategies aimed at making their impact on the environment as minimal as possible. Some of these initiatives include embracing green power systems for telecom infrastructure, which, in turn, fosters corporate image and stakeholder management. The IMARC Group’s report shows that the global green power market is expected to reach US$ 160.7 Billion by 2032.

Telecom Power Systems Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global and regional levels for 2025-2033. Our telecom power systems market report has categorized the market based on product type, component, power source, and grid type.

Breakup by Product Type:

• DC
• AC
   

DC accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product type. This includes DC and AC. According to the report, DC represents the largest segment.

DC systems are easily adaptable to renewable energy supplies, such as solar panels and windmills, to minimize operating expenses and adverse effects on the environment. Additionally, DC systems have lower energy losses than AC systems, thus making them more suitable to be installed in remote or off-grid locations, where telecom towers are often situated. In line with this, DC power systems are less complex in structure with fewer components prone to failure, thereby reducing maintenance requirements and downtime.

Breakup by Component:

• Rectifiers
• Converters
• Controllers
• Heat Management Systems
• Generators
• Others
   

Generators holds the largest share of the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the component have also been provided in the report. This includes rectifiers, converters, controllers, heat management systems, generators and others. According to the report, generators account for the largest market share.

Generators are regarded as invaluable component to telecom structure due to the need for constant power to maintain the connectivity and functionality of structures. They act as a standby power source when the mains electricity is unavailable, essential in areas with poor or unreliable power grid infrastructure. Their ability to work in the fluctuating environments also strengthens their position in the market as they address different geographical and operational requirements of the telecom networks across the globe, thereby supporting the telecom power systems market growth.
