Our research report offers a 360-degree view of the Portable Generator market’s drivers and restraints, coupled with the impact they have on demand during the projection period. Also, the report examines global opportunities and competitive analysis for the Portable Generator market.
Portable Generator Market: Overview
Energy and power are essential for a nation’s economic growth. However, a number of these economies still lack adequate grid infrastructure. The inadequate power supply significantly impacts small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and reliable power supply in the event of a blackout. Chronic outages, a lack of power supply, shifting consumer preferences, and ongoing infrastructure development will shape the Portable Generator s market trends globally over the next few years.
Portable Generator Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis
Public curfews and restrictions on work-related travel imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted industry activities across all sectors. Market statistics are expected to boost due to the expanding digital revolution brought on by technical advancements and industrial automation. The market for Portable generators s is anticipated to boost as businesses and homes need more electricity.
Many industries implemented a work-from-home strategy to operate remotely since the lockdown in the first half of 2020, increasing domestic electricity demand. A few nations lacked the round-the-clock electricity requirement for nine-hour home jobs. It increased the demand for Portable generators s and is expected to keep growing.
The qualitative and quantitative components of the market are examined throughout the research report. Both supply and demand are examined. The demand side study contrasts market income between various geographic areas and nations. The supply-side research examines the presence and strategies of significant competitors on a regional and global scale. In-depth research has been done on North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Portable Generator Market: Growth Drivers
Rising Power Outages and Ageing Power Grids
Aging grid infrastructure is more challenging than power outages, as electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure act as a backbone of the power sector in any country. Transmission systems that have not been properly modernized cannot support increased power demands and, in extreme situations, can even fail, resulting in a power outage.
In industrialized nations, transmission and distribution networks were built quite some time ago, and even with routine maintenance, the infrastructure will eventually deteriorate over time. The NARUC in the US estimates that coal, gas, and nuclear power plants can operate effectively for about 40 years. The life cycle of grids is reaching the end attributed to which economies, such as the US, Germany, and the UK, have been focusing on the replacement and modernization of their aging power infrastructure.
Furthermore, severe weather is also anticipated to fuel the growth of the Portable Generator s market. For instance, the electrical system in the US is susceptible to unplanned and frequent power outages. Thus, growing consumer awareness of emergency preparedness and rising expenditures on backup power solutions will both support market growth.
According to the DoE and the NERC, a system that can handle unpredictable power outrages is the only way to guarantee uninterrupted power. Given that the average length of US power outages is over an hour and that number has been progressively rising over the past several years, the US experiences more blackouts than any other developed nation. The annual cost of these outages to American enterprises is almost USD 150 billion.
The Surge in Adoption of Low-Cost Generators
The market for Portable generators s is expected to boost along with the demand for power backup facilities, low-cost, diesel-fueled, natural gas-fueled, and increased consumer awareness of Portable generators s. However, the short duration of power supply and strict environmental laws regarding the emission of harmful gases from diesel generators may act as restraining factors.
Portable Generator Market: Segmentation Analysis
In our research scope, the Portable Generator market is segmented into fuel, power output, and application. By fuel, the gasoline segment is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2021. Portable gasoline generators are commonly employed for short-term, irregular, or low-load applications. Gasoline is the most widely used and convenient fuel, although it is extremely flammable and dangerous to store in large quantities. Moreover, gasoline (petrol) is expensive, and it often uses the least amount of fuel to power a generator, at least for extended periods. It is employed in various emergencies, camping, and hunting. Generators powered by gasoline (petrol) operate more quietly and emit fewer dangerous carbon dioxide fumes.
