Gas Genset Market Share

ID: MRFR//5828-HCR | 111 Pages | Author: Anshula Mandaokar| April 2024

The gas genset market has seen major trends and developments recently that reflect the dynamic character of power generation industry. One of such trends prevailing in this market is increased use of natural gas as a fuel for gensets. With global focus shifting to environmental consciousness movement there is a drive to adopt clean renewable energy sources. Gasoline or diesel fuels have been widely used but today one can see an increasing preference for natural gas since it burns cleaner than them. This transformation follows the bigger effort toward reducing carbon emissions and meeting strict environmental regulations.
Another significant trend in the gas genset market is taking up advanced technologies to improve performance and efficiency. As digitalization and automation continue to advance various smart features are being incorporated into generator sets like remote monitoring, predictive maintenance or real-time data analytics by manufacturers of gaseous units. These technologies not only enhance overall reliability of gas generator sets but also help run them efficiently through proactive maintenance minimizing downtime as they occur. The rise of intelligent types of generators is driven by the need for effective connected power supply solutions across industries.
Gas genset markets are altered by distributed power generation strategies too. Gas Gensets are thus increasingly being employed across different sectors ranging from industrial plants to commercial buildings as well as residential complexes due to growing needs for reliable off-grid decentralized electricity supplies. These qualities make them very attractive options for distributed power generation which provides steady flow firming in grid deficient areas or at peak demand periods. In parts where access to power is challenging and areas that are aiming to enhance their energy security, these trends are particularly significant.
Additionally, the growing interest in energy resilience and grid reliability has led to the need for more gas gensets on the market. As extreme weather events become more frequent and there is a greater possibility of grid failures, businesses and operators of critical infrastructure have focused on emergency power sources to ensure uninterrupted operations. The quick start-up capabilities of gas gensets and availability of fuel make them stand-by source of power which organizations can rely upon whenever power outages occur thus preventing financial losses.

Gas Genset Market Trends




  • The rising occurrence of power outages and power supply deficits globally is driving the market growth




The need for natural gas generators is being driven by the increasing frequency of power outages and power supply shortages around the world, as well as restrictions prohibiting the use of diesel gensets because of their high carbon emissions.


Globally expanding industrial and commercial facilities, including shopping centres, skyscrapers, universities, restaurants, district heating and cooling plants, office buildings, and others, are driving the demand for reliable electricity supply, which is driving the demand for gas gensets. Due to climate change-related natural disasters and extreme weather, there has been an increase in the need for backup power as an amenity in commercial, residential, and industrial structures. The need for generator sets in the US has been spurred by the country's abundant natural gas supply and well-established infrastructure for delivering it around the nation. The country's shale gas revolution has led to a rise in the popularity of gas generator sets over diesel generator sets, and this trend is anticipated to continue in the years to come.


One of the key factors anticipated to fuel worldwide market expansion is the acceptance rate of gas generators as an energy source to fulfil the rising electricity demand. The target market is additionally anticipated to grow as a result of increased investments and supportive governmental policies on emission standards and regulations in both developed and developing economies. Additionally, the availability of generators in a range of sizes and power outputs increases demand for generators, which is anticipated to drive growth in the gas generator market. On the other hand, technological advancements have increased the performance and capacity of generators, creating a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the future market. Two current industry developments that are anticipated to propel the market forward are the expanding popularity of gas generators and biofuel generators. Governments and regulatory agencies are enforcing stronger emission and pollution control rules, which will favourably impact the market for generator sets. The product deployment will be further fueled by the increased emphasis on cleaner energy sources in accordance with growing awareness of climate change. Additionally, the industry will grow as a result of the ongoing boom in unconventional gas resources, especially in the U.S. shale revolution and encouraged by legislative initiatives. Thus, driving the Gas Genset market revenue.
