The global generators market size reached approximately USD 65.97 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.80% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 100.60 billion by 2032.

Key Takeaways

  • The demand for portable generators is rising due to their versatility and convenience, especially for outdoor activities.
  • The growing demand for HVAC equipment across the world is likely to provide impetus to the generators market.
  • Manufacturers are emphasising the development of fuel-efficient generators to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.

A generator is defined as electrical equipment which is used for the transmission of power lines to domestic, commercial, automotive, military and defence, aerospace, and industrial sectors by converting mechanical energy into electricity. This mechanical power is usually obtained by rotating a shaft, which is multiplied by rotational or angular velocity.

The generators market growth is propelled by the increase in sales demand due to the rise in the number of data centres, businesses, hospitals, and other commercial complexes. Emerging nations are improving their power networks, to be able to supply energy reliably to consumer and industrial end-users. Accelerating economic growth and technological advancements are further increasing the demand for power and generators. As a result of growing industrial expansion, high production levels, and rising investment, the demand for high-capacity industrial generators is increasing. Silent generators are also immensely popular as they can operate in close proximity to workers without causing any noise disturbance, which is accelerating the generators market development.

The rising applications of generators in various end-use sectors, including military and defence, automotive, commercial, industrial, oil and gas, aerospace, and construction, among others, are among the crucial factors in the market. Generators are capable of producing the power required for the functioning of equipment used in the above industries, such as appliances, compressors, and fans, among others.
