With China's telecommunication reorganization now in place, also with reforms of ministries and commissions, Olympic Games, and other activities, the market is flourishing with new opportunities for China's UPS market. However, the uncertainties that arise from global economic downturn and rising global currency inflation are starting to have an impact on China's economy, which are leading to challenges for the next 2-3 years. Under the pressure of a worsened external environment, China's economic growth appears to have slowed down, showing some signs of domestic economy adjustment. Subprime lending crisis, rising costs of raw materials, appreciation of the RMB, and other macro-economic problems have impacted domestic manufacturing industry greatly. Snow Disaster in early 2008 in South China and Wenchuan Earthquake in Southwest China have also affected the industry economy greatly. All these objective factors are challenges to the UPS industry.
CCID Consulting statistics show that sales volume of China's UPS market reached 652.6 thousand in 2008 H1, up 5.6% over 2007 H1. It is possible that growth rate of China's UPS market will keep decreasing in 2009 due to macro economic changes and unfavorable policies. However, China's UPS market will revive in 2010, driving by industry upgrading and a growing SMEs market.
