Report Highlights

• The Americas 20 kVA and under UPS market, the largest regional market for UPS products, experienced exceptional growth in 2004 and 2005. Among the top four country markets in the region, Mexico is forecasted to grow the fastest.
• The United States remains the largest country market, accounting for more than 82% of regional UPS shipments. Brazil becomes the second largest country market in the new Americas region, slightly ahead of Canada at 6.8%.
• Continuing a trend that has been ongoing since 2000, the 1 kVA and under segment of the Americas UPS market has dropped once again as a percentage of regional UPS shipments. This sub-segment has been impacted by lower entry-level prices and the higher power requirements of today's consumer to the point where it now accounts for approximately 15% less of regional shipments than in 2000.
• The telecom/datacom vertical that has driven the resurgence of the Americas UPS market will continue to provide opportunities for growth. However, with the continued advancement in wireless technology and reliance upon networks by enterprises of various sizes, there will be growth opportunities in the educational, industrial, health care, security, and retail POS verticals as well.
