The Global Diesel Generator Market was worth US$ 15 billion in 2019 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.5% during 2020 and 2030.

Expansion of commercial and industrial infrastructure, increasing demand from off-grid applications, and increasing investment in product innovation & development are the key attributes complimenting the growth of global diesel generator market. A diesel generator, also known as diesel genset, generates electric power with the help of diesel engine and electric generator or alternators. Primarily used as an emergency power source, diesel generators are being increasingly used for peak-looping, as prime source of electricity in power grid absence regions, grid support, and other complex applications.

The manufacturers are focusing on development of compact and efficient generators owing to increased demand for low power backup generators across the emerging countries. However, concerns over damage to environment due to emissions from diesel generators has led to the demand for generators powered by natural fuels, thereby hindering the growth of global diesel generator market. Though the power grid across the globe has expanded extensively during past decade, the demand surpasses supply across emerging countries, which is fueling the growth of the global diesel generator market.

Asia Pacific contributed the largest share to the global market in 2019 and is anticipated to be a dominating segment throughout the forecast period owing to expanding applications base across the leading countries. Increased investment in commercial and residential infrastructure development across emerging countries is anticipated to accelerate the growth of diesel generator market in coming years. Adoption of high power diesel generators as backup power sources across the expanding industrial sector in Asia is anticipated to contribute towards the growth of Asia Pacific diesel generator market during the forecast period. North America contributed a prominent share to the global market in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period.
