Assessment of Strategy and Execution of 13 Leading UPS / Backup Power Fuel Cell System Manufacturers
The stationary fuel cell UPS and backup power market is experiencing double digit annual growth, admittedly from a low base. An increasing number of companies operating in the UPS and backup power markets have introduced fully certified products in geographies including Europe, America, China, Indonesia, and India. This certification is enabling these companies to move quickly through the low volume, quasi-automated, production phase of market development.
Within this dynamic phase of industry growth, we are starting to see a number of companies and markets appearing. Many key industry players are now understanding that their most importance competency is their ability to produce the fuel cell systems, which can then be integrated into the product line of a current UPS or telecom market industry supplier. This approach allows the fuel cell company to leverage not only the existing customer base of the current industry supplier, but also its reputation and presence.
This Pike Research report evaluates 10 of the leading UPS and backup power fuel cell developers and rates them on 12 criteria for strategy and execution, including go-to-market strategy, product portfolio, partnerships, innovation, reach, market share, pricing, and staying power. Using Pike Research's proprietary Pike Pulse methodology, developers are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies' relative strengths and weaknesses in the rapidly growing UPS and backup power stationary fuel cell market.
