Global Telecom Power Systems Market Restraints:

High cost of deployment and operation to impede market growth

The quality and range of services that are provided by telecom companies and internet service providers are increasing, due to which the profit margins are decreasing. Furthermore, due to this, the distinction between technology suppliers and telecom businesses is becoming blur along with increasing availability of novel technologies. The telecom power systems are deployed to dodge the operational time and for maintaining the high level quality of power. The telecom power system equipment come with various features, due to which their cost increases. The high-end power quality equipment come with different features, like detection of disturbance, flicker detection, and high-power efficiency. Thus, cost of these equipment and their installation is high, which is a major facto expected to hinder growth of the global telecom power systems market over the forecast period.

Environmental issues of telecom power supply systems to hamper the market pace

Due to the dependability and sturdiness of diesel generators, they are favored electric energy suppliers for backup power and off-grid applications such as cellular base stations.
