The increasing proliferation of microprocessor-based equipment is likely to underlie future growth in the promising transient voltage surge suppressor A device that provides protection against power surges. See surge suppression.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (www.powersupplies.frost.com), "World Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor Market," reveals that revenues in this industry totaled $1.07 billion in 2003 and are projected to reach $2.02 billion by 2010.

While newer microprocessor chips built into today's sophisticated equipment enable greater and faster processing capabilities. Their growing complexity also renders them increasingly vulnerable to voltage surges or spikes. Rising market trends toward miniaturization min·i·a·tur·ize

 further compounds this problem.

"The advent of miniaturization has increased the integration of electronic circuits into smaller packages, heightening sensitivity to transient voltage conditions," says Frost & Sullivan research analyst Vishal Sapru. "This intensifies the demand for hard-wired TVSSs to handle surges at the individual equipment level, which in turn positively impacts revenues."

Hard-wired TVSS companies will, however, have to gear up for competition from electrical distribution equipment manufacturers -- who have now entered the construction and retrofit ret·ro·fit

Electrical distribution equipment markets are gaining a strong competitive edge in these markets because of their ability to offer integrated solutions to these problems as well as a broader range of products and components from a single source.

Power surges generally last less than 50 microseconds, but can reach as much as 6,000 volts and draw 3,000 amps when they arrive at the equipment.  solutions that will help them compete more effectively with electrical distribution equipment manufacturers," observes Sapru.

The challenge of providing end users with complete power quality solutions indicates that bundling products such as uninterruptible power supplies See UPS.

 (UPS), TVSS, inverters and others is a growing concern for manufacturers. However, end-users' varying needs imply that rather than opting for a standard bundling, manufacturers could provide a customized solution aimed at meeting total power quality needs.

The ability to effectively address customer demand for minimal downtime -- especially critical in end-user sectors such as information technology, telecommunications and industrial -- could result in increased demand for TVSSs. In this context, products that have built-in surge suppressors are becoming important to end-users.
