Over the past ten years, a market scattered with dozens of regional UPS vendors has seen a few major brands dominate. The top three now have two-thirds of the market
 

Enterprises have shown a keen interest in taking up improved specs technologies like 0.9 Input Power factor, which ensures more usable power per kVA and results in sustaining more load per UPS. Enterprise customers also moved to higher capacity UPS during FY 07 as their loads have increased. A typical example is the shift from 3 to 5 kVA units in bank branches. Also, many enterprise customers have now moved from line interactive to online systems as a result of increased consciousness among the users to recognize a UPS as a business critical product rather than just a backup device. There was a definite growth in the sales of online UPS that accounted for 6.5% of units sold in 2006-07, up from 5% the previous year.
