The portable generator is invented as a backup device to deliver temporary AC power for stand-alone and non-hardwired applications. These generators are made up of a starter, internal combustion engine, fuel tank, alternator, and outlets assembled onto a metal frame in a single unit. Nowadays, consumers mainly prefer portable generators because they can be easily moved from one place to another, also they are cost-effective.
The demand for Portable generators is mainly increasing on account of the growing construction sector, aging grid infrastructure, rising demand for uninterrupted power supply, promising real estate trends, rapid industrialization, Inaccurate grid structure along rapid population growth. Moreover, the rising incidence of weather-related disasters also propels market growth. For instance, as per the Human Cost of Disasters 2000–2019, Floods and storms were the most frequent events, and the last 20 years saw major floods more than double from 1,389 to 3,254, while storms grew from 1,457 to 2,034.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Fuel, Gasoline segment holds the major share.”
Based on Fuel, the market is fragmented into Gasoline, Diesel, Natural Gas, and Others. The Gasoline segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period as they are more reliable, run quieter, and produce less harmful carbon dioxide fumes. Gasoline portable generators are mainly used on temporary bases for low-load appliances. Also, it is the most common source of fuel and is easiest to obtain. For instance, the 4 kW Single Phase Bajaj Portable Petrol Generator runs on Gasoline is the most fuel-efficient in its range and is having low operating cost.
“Amongst Application, Emergency segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on Application, the market is fragmented into Emergency, and Prime/Continuous. The Emergency segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period. These Emergency generators are used mainly for shorter durations during outages. With the single filling, these generators run for 10-12 hours. The disruption of the transmission & distribution infrastructure due to the rise in natural disasters propels the high demand for Emergency Power Generators. For instance, as per the Our World in Data, there were 361 global disasters in 2019 as compared to 282 global disasters in 2018.
“Amongst Power Rating, 5–10 kW segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on Power Rating, the market is fragmented into Below 5 kW, 5–10 kW, and 10–20 kW. The 5–10 kW segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period owing to their high use in power applications such as pumps, air conditioners, drills, high-pressure washers, and industrial motors (up to 3 hp). Moreover, the rising awareness of in-house power backup also propels market growth. For instance, in February 2018, Generac introduced XC series portable generators, with a power rating of 6.5–8 kW for commercial and rental applications.
“Amongst End-user, Residential segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on End-user, the market is fragmented into Residential, Commercial, and Industrial. The Residential segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period due to the unreliability of power grids. The areas prone to abrupt power outages coupled with natural disasters also propel the segment growth. The range of Portable generators in various appliances to be used in residences such as lights, refrigerators, sump pumps, heaters, TVs, water purifiers, and air conditioners in emergencies include up to 6 kW. There was in total 4,73,127 Thousand Megawatt-hours Sales of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by Residences in the U.S. region in April 2021.
“North America signifies one of the largest markets and Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing markets of Portable Generator market.”
