In several rural and under-developed areas such as small towns and villages, regular power issues increase the demand for residential backup power. Furthermore, unexpected power cuts in urban areas due to uncertain whether glitches in transmission and distribution, grid problems, and the power supply continuously raised the product demand. In May 2022, in Ontario and Quebec, a derecho with high winds of around 190 km/h caused approximately 1.1 million residents to lose their power; many were still without power after the storm for a week. The total repair cost of all damage caused by thunderstorms was roughly CAD 70 million.

Soaring Technological Development to Create Lucrative Opportunities for Market Expansion: Rising technological advancements in the electronic industry have led to the development of advanced residential backup power systems, which activate automatically when the main power supply stops. Additionally, power backup solutions like the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) protect electronic devices from damage by maintaining the voltage supply when the power supply is high or low and also provide emergency power.

Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to be a market leader in the forecast period. The growth in Asia Pacific’s urbanization is expected to enhance the demand for reliable power backup solutions in homes. According to the World Bank, the East Asia and Pacific regions have recorded an annual urbanization rate of 3%, the highest in the world.
