Global Gas Generator Market Outlook to 2028

Market Overview

Increasing recognition of natural gas as a clean and dependable fuel, stricter emission requirements for hazardous pollutants, favorable government regulations, policies, and initiatives are the factors driving the gas generator market.

In contrast to other fuels such as diesel or gasoline, a gas generator operates on natural gas. Power generation of this fuel type tends to be more cost-effective and efficient than other generators.

An internal combustion engine in a gas generator injects a combination of fuel and air into a combustion chamber. The compression of fuel and air, paired with a spark plug, ignites the fuel, which powers a crankshaft and spins the generator's rotor, creating an electrical current. Depending on the generator's size, the electric current can charge batteries, power appliances, or even run vast pieces of machinery.

Gas generators may be found in various commercial and industrial settings, including resorts, malls, high-rise office buildings, universities, data centers, and hospitals. Industrial plants, refineries, coal mines, agriculture and food processing, wastewater treatment plants, and greenhouse facilities utilize natural gas generators.

Natural gas generators have the advantage of running more quietly and smoothly than other types of generators. While not entirely renewable, natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels and less expensive.

Natural gas generators benefit from not emitting a solid odor, common in generators powered by oil or diesel.

Market developments and trends

• Continued emphasis on energy efficiency, energy recovery, and CO2 emissions reduction.
• Gas generators in Asia, Australia, and Europe are in demand due to the growing construction market, mining markets, and standby power requirements.
• USA sees a steady growth in gas generator usage in the residential sector due to increasing weather-related power outages due to natural calamities, stringent emission standards, and environmental advantages.
• Europe's continuous efforts to transition to clean energy technologies.
• The new "Home as a Sanctuary" mega-trend resulted in the rise in demand for residential generators. Demand and production for home standby generators have been ramped up, and capacity for these items is anticipated to grow further in 2021.
• North Field East (NFE) is being developed by Qatar Petroleum as the world's largest liquified natural gas (LNG) project. NFE will also manufacture liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to LNG. This initiative attempts to provide the world with clean energy, with various nations striving to cut emissions and reliance on high-polluting sources like coal.
• Atlas Copco's Joint venture with Zhejiang Energy Group to Partner on Global Maritime and Power Opportunities – by expanding Atlas Copco offerings to more significant and long-term power projects where ZE has credible ample power generating utility companies.
• Generac acquired Deep Sea Electronics, an advanced controls manufacturer and designer, in June 2021. Deep Sea Electronics' expertise will complement Generac's focus on power production. It will assist drive entrance into microgrid applications, a market that the Company thinks will be an essential component of the future power grid.

Opportunities

• Data centers are being constructed to meet the increasing data needs and need reliable backup power to protect critical data. Gas generators provide immediate and reliable power supply to the data centers in case of power outages and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Manufacturers can use this opportunity to manufacture and provide gas generators to meet the demands.
• The construction of 5G networks is growing at a rapid pace, and 5G networks require generators to sustain base stations and towers.
• The global development of gas pipeline infrastructures is leading to an increase in the use of gas generators in primary and backup power applications in the industrial sector.
• Demand for gas generators in really cold environments is increasing. The generators can be manufactured to meet such demands to continue to function even during heavy snowfall.
• Food demand is increasing as the world's population grows. To tackle this, greenhouses are being built, which can help increase the production of food. Fueled by natural gas, CHP generators are widely used in greenhouses, and the demand for the same is likely to increase.
• Increasing environmental protection projects such as water and sewage treatment plants require environmentally friendly generators to reduce emissions.
