The global portable generator market was worth US$ 4.3 Billion in 2018. The market is further projected to reach a value of US$ 6.3 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during 2019-2024. Portable generators are backup devices designed to provide temporary AC power for non-hardwired, stand-alone applications. These generators consist of internal combustion engine, starter, alternator, fuel tank and outlets which are assembled together onto a metal frame in a single unit. Low-end models of portable generators support few basic home appliances, whereas, the high-end models can provide power backup to the whole house. Nowadays, portable generators are gaining traction among the consumers as they are cost-effective and can be easily moved from one place to another.
Global Portable Generator Market Drivers/Constraints:
- Portable generators are used at construction sites to operate power tools, namely paint sprayers, air compressors, drills, saws, etc. to provide optimal output with minimal fuel consumption.
- The growing urbanisation coupled with increasing frequency of power grid failures has led the consumers to opt for portable generators, particularly for residential applications, so as to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply.
- The governments in various countries have implemented stringent regulations regarding the negative environmental impact of portable generators. As a result, the manufacturers are introducing generators with lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- The availability of alternative power backup systems such as inverters, UPS systems, solar generator and solar energy systems poses a major threat to the growth of the global portable power generator market as these systems are often more environment-friendly and easier to maintain.
Market Breakup by Fuel Type:
Based on fuel type, the market has been segmented into portable diesel generators, portable gas generators and others. Currently, portable diesel generators are the most popular segment as they are more reliable, efficient and sturdy than petroleum or natural gas generators.
Market Breakup by Application:
On the basis of application, the residential sector represents the largest segment, accounting for the majority of the global share as portable generators are used to run essential appliances, such as lights, refrigerators, fans, etc. during power outages or bad weather conditions. Residential sector is followed by the commercial, infrastructure and industrial sectors.
Market Breakup by Power Output:
Based on power output, the market has been segregated as less than 3kW, 3-10kW and more than 20kW. Amongst these, the less than 3kW category dominates the market as these generators are compact and easy to transport, owing to which they are generally used for recreational activities and powering minor tools.
Regional Insights:
Region-wise, Asia Pacific is the leading market for portable generators, holding the largest market share due to the lack of proper power infrastructure in the region. Other major regions include Europe, North America, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.
Competitive Landscape:
The global portable generator industry is fragmented as there are a large number of players present at both the regional and global level. Some of the leading players operating in the market are:
- Briggs & Stratton Corporation
- Cummins, Inc.
- Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
- Eaton Corporation PLC
- Generac Power Systems, Inc.
