Power Conversion Equipment Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Power conversion equipment manufacturers have experienced revenue volatility because of fluctuating growth in downstream markets. Fluctuations in the value of the US dollar have also contributed to volatility by destabilizing demand for imports and exports. Construction companies use the industry’s products as inputs in their daily operations, so when this downstream activity increases, so does demand for power conversion equipment. Nonresidential construction and industrial production plunged during COVID-19 as the economy shut down, hindering revenue growth. Despite these factors, low interest rates buoyed demand from households, so revenue still inched upward in 2020. As the effects of the pandemic subsided, revenue recovered because of rising corporate profit and consumer spending. The return of employees to the office caused nonresidential to soar in 2023, fostering significant revenue growth in that year.

Trends and Insights

  • The recovery from COVID-19 was a boon for the US economy, but power conversion equipment manufacturers still faced challenges. Growth in nonresidential construction remained low during the pandemic recovery because employees didn't return to the office.
  • Uninterruptible power supply manufacturing has seen the strongest growth as they've become more important in a renewable electric grid. The growing prevalence of lithium-powered batteries has hindered extension cords' revenue share.
  • The West region contains the largest number of power conversion equipment manufacturers, led by California. California is home to downstream industries (e.g., electrical equipment manufacturers) and has access to trade in the Pacific.
  • Imports dominate the industry, making foreign manufacturers a major source of competition. Another substitute is lithium batteries, but this only affects revenue for extension cord manufacturers.
