Generator Sales Market Growth Factors

Power outages and voltage drops adversely affect the functioning and operations of industrial processes and also lead to malfunction of equipment due to which the industries demand generators providing discrete power ratings to support particular machines. Generators are considered the most efficient, reliable, and cost-effective source for power backup and emergencies. Power generators are relatively easy to operate and set up and can be used in almost all types of applications including oil & gas, residential, telecom, hospitals, and others. One of the leading technologies available for emergency power backups is solar panels. Solar panels deploy high installation costs and large spaces as compared to power generators, though have low operating costs. This technology is relatively more environmentally friendly as compared to power and gas generators and has a longer life span than diesel generators. Moreover, solar energy is continuously evolving and thus cannot replace power generators completely.

Authorities in the US have employed emission norms for diesel and gas generators which is a key factor anticipated to pose a positive effect on the global generator sales market. Generators manufactured with norms followed under the latest environmental standards ensure reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. These policies are anticipated to aid the global generator sales market to grow over the foreseeable years. Government authorities across the globe are planning to invest huge amounts of money in data centers, industrial facilities, power generation, real estate, and telecom. The demand for efficient power supply is expected to increase consequently over the forecast period. This aforementioned demand for efficient sources of power is anticipated to propel the global generator sales market during the forecast period. Apart from rising demand for generators from industries, the global generator sales market is expected to gain impetus owing to rapid industrialization especially in developing economies including India, Brazil, China, and Mexico.

Generator Sales Market Segmentation

The worldwide market for generator sales is categorized based on type, power rating, application, end-user, and geography.

Generator Sales Type Outlook

• Diesel Generator
• Gas Generator
• Others (LPG, Gas, Biofuel, Gasoline, etc.)

According to the generator sales industry analysis, the diesel generator segment has primarily been the dominant type in the generator sales market because of its high efficiency, reliability, and durability. Diesel generators are widely used in applications requiring a dependable backup power source, such as data centres, hospitals, and construction sites. Diesel generators are more durable than gas generators and are better suited for heavy-duty applications.

However, the gas generator segment is growing in popularity due to its lower emissions and pricing. Small businesses, residential properties, and telecommunication infrastructure all make extensive use of gas generators. Other generator types, such as propane and biofuel generators, have a smaller market share than diesel and gas generators.

Generator Sales Power Rating Outlook

• Below 100 kVA
• 100–350 kVA
• 350–1,000 kVA
• 1,000–2,500 kVA
• 2,500–5,000 kVA
• Above 5,000 kVA

Globally, the power rating of less than 100 kVA has traditionally been the dominant power rating in the generator sales market. Generators with power ratings less than 100 kVA are commonly used in homes, small businesses, and telecommunication infrastructure. These generators are popular among end-users who require a dependable backup power source because they are inexpensive, portable, and simple to install.

Because of its widespread use in applications such as data centres, hospitals, and industrial manufacturing, the 100-350 kVA segment is also gaining popularity. These generators are more powerful and reliable than generators under 100 kVA and can meet the power requirements of larger applications.

The 350-1,000 kVA range is commonly used in oil and gas, mining, and construction industries. These generators are designed for heavy-duty applications and can provide dependable power in remote areas.

The generator sales market segments of 1,000-2,500 kVA, 2,500-5,000 kVA, and above 5,000 kVA are less common and are typically used in large-scale industrial and commercial applications that provide a high degree of power supply reliability.

Generator Sales Application Outlook

• Continuous Power
• Standby
• Peak Shaving

In the generator sales market, the standby application has traditionally been the dominant application. In the event of a power outage, standby generators are commonly used as backup power sources. They are commonly used in applications such as hospitals, data centres, and commercial buildings where a continuous power supply is required. Standby generators are designed to start and provide power automatically in the event of a power outage.

Continuous power generators are used in applications that require a consistent and reliable power supply, such as industrial manufacturing, marine, and oil and gas. These generators are built to run continuously for extended periods of time and at full power output without interruption.

Generator Sales End-User Outlook

• Residential
• Commercial
• Industrial

According to the generator sales industry analysis, industrial end-users are expected to register fastest growth from 2023 to 2032. Businesses, hospitals, data centres, and other commercial buildings that require reliable backup power sources to ensure continuous operations are examples of commercial end-users. The commercial sector accounts for the majority of generator sales, owing to factors such as the need for business continuity, the increased use of electronic devices, and the increasing demand for reliable power supply.

Historically, residential end-users, such as homeowners and small businesses, accounted for a smaller share of the generator sales market. However, demand for residential generators is increasing as a result of factors such as an increase in the number of power outages caused by extreme weather events, the increased use of home automation systems, and the need for backup power for medical equipment.
