Power Distribution Unit Market Report 2026

The power distribution unit market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.23 billion in 2025 to $4.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of data center infrastructure, growth in cloud computing adoption, increasing server rack densities, rising demand for continuous power availability, deployment of metered power solutions.

The power distribution unit market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing hyperscale data center investments, rising adoption of edge computing infrastructure, expansion of AI-driven workload requirements, growing focus on power optimization and efficiency, increasing demand for real-time power analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of intelligent and networked pdus, rising demand for energy-efficient power distribution, growing integration of remote monitoring capabilities, expansion of high-density rack power solutions, enhanced focus on data center power reliability.

The rising adoption of IoT is projected to drive the growth of the power distribution unit (PDU) market in the future. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected physical devices, vehicles, appliances, and other objects that are equipped with sensors, software, and network connectivity. Integrating IoT into power distribution units provides scalability and flexibility, allows for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, improves energy efficiency, optimizes energy consumption, and enhances overall system management. For instance, in March 2023, Exploding Topics, a U.S.-based online platform that offers insights into emerging and trending subjects, indicated that by 2030, there will be an estimated 25.4 billion IoT devices. Thus, the increasing adoption of IoT is fueling the growth of the power distribution unit market.

Leading companies in the power distribution unit market are concentrating on innovative products, such as intelligent PDU outlets, to boost their revenues. An intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) is a device that manages and distributes power to multiple devices. For instance, in October 2023, Panduit Corporation, a U.S.-based provider of network infrastructure solutions and services, launched the SmartZone 4-in-1 Outlet PDU. The SmartZone intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) outlets are engineered to provide exceptional reliability and previously unmatched outlet density. This innovative device is specifically designed for data centers that require greater flexibility in their energy monitoring and power distribution units. The G5 iPDU 4-in-1 outlets continuously monitor environmental conditions and electrical circuit overloads that could threaten critical IT equipment. Furthermore, the G5 iPDU 4-in-1 outlets offer superior connection flexibility with a compact design that allows a single outlet to function as either a C13/C15 or a C13/C15/C19/C21, accommodating C15/C21 high-temperature-rated power cords. They also deliver best-in-class outlet density and enhanced reliability.

In October 2024, HEICO Corporation, a US-based aerospace and electronics company, acquired 92.5% of Marway Power Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, HEICO aimed to expand its power distribution systems offerings for mission-critical applications, strengthen its presence in the defense and aerospace markets, and enhance its overall technology portfolio for customers requiring reliable power solutions. Marway Power Solutions Inc. is a US-based provider of power distribution solutions, including power distribution units, power supplies, automatic transfer switches, and related control panels for defense, aerospace, industrial, and communications systems.
