The gas generator sets market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the size of the gas generator sets market has seen steady growth. It is expected to increase from $8.94 billion in 2024 to $9.36 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.
This growth during the historic period is due to a rise in demand for trustworthy backup power solutions, increased focus on energy security and grid resilience, further development of industrial and commercial infrastructure, a boost in the production and availability of natural gas, and the necessity for uninterrupted power supply in critical applications.
The gas generator sets market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of gas generator sets is forecasted to experience substantial growth in upcoming years, with a projection to reach $11.41 billion in 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
This predicted growth can be credited to the incorporation of gas generator sets in hybrid and microgrid systems, increased demand for combined heat and power (chp) systems for energy efficiency, the use of low-emission and renewable natural gas sources, customization of generator sets for specific industry requirements, and a focus on decentralized power generation and distributed energy resources. The key trends expected to mark this period include the use of hybrid and multi-energy systems, implementation of smart and remote monitoring, adoption of high-efficiency combined heat and power (chp) applications, progress towards low-emission and emission-neutral technologies, and advancements in control and synchronization systems.
The surge in global energy use is anticipated to catalyze the expansion of the gas generator sets market. Rise in key socio-economic factors such as population size, urban development, net income, and industrial actions in both established and evolving economies have led to a significant increase in electricity use worldwide. This escalation in electrical consumption is likely to stimulate the demand for gas generator sets since industries, business and residential structures are investing in portable power solutions like gas generators to tackle routine power cuts. For instance, the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Electricity Market Report of July 2021 predicts a 5% growth in global electricity demand during 2020-21, and 4% during 2021-22. It is projected that China and India alone will be responsible for 9% of the global growth. This rise in global energy use is hence paving the way for gas generator sets market expansion.
