North American Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS) Markets

Frost & Sullivan, May 2002

Possible Business Losses Force TVSS Investments

Every year, billions of dollars are lost as a result of power fluctuations, which

can render electronic equipment useless and compromise its long-term
performance. However, through the use of surge protectors, transient energy
can be converted into heat and safely dissipated. With businesses increasingly
dependent on the reliability of electronic devices, the market for surge

suppressors will experience strong growth as firms move to avert equipment
damage and financial losses resulting from downtime.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis provides an insightful examination of the factors
influencing the North American transient voltage surge suppressors markets.
By identifying emerging trends and providing strategic recommendations, this

study offers your company the opportunity to implement effective business
strategies for future success.

Consumer Awareness Spurs Growth, Product Evolution

Consumer awareness concerning the usage and importance of power

protection devices is on the rise as individuals search for solutions to
safeguard their electronic investments. There is tremendous pressure on
manufacturers to provide more efficient products. This has resulted in the

development of devices with enhanced performance features and greater
power tolerance levels.

End users are becoming more knowledgeable about the benefits of
protecting their electronic equipment. Consequently, they are demanding that
manufacturers not only provide quality equipment, but also the technical
expertise regarding surge protection, states the study’s author.

Easy Installation, Low Maintenance Drive Usage

With TVSS devices considered the primary product for addressing and
preventing transient power spikes, their convenience and low maintenance
requirements are key to reaching an ever-expanding consumer base. Many of
these units can be obtained from local retail outlets.

TVSS products such as line cords and plug-ins can be easily installed without
the help of an electrician. In addition, they are reasonably priced and require
little post-installation maintenance. During the forecast period, the impact of
this driver will remain high, says the author.

This Frost & Sullivan study offers a comprehensive guide to consumer
concerns within the North American TVSS markets, allowing your firm to take
advantage of emerging industry opportunities.
