Residential Generators Market Outlook – 2030

The global residential generators market size was valued at $9.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $15.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2030. Residential generators are utilized to provide temporary power when there is a power outage in a distant place. These generators have a power output range of 1–0kW and can run on a variety of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, biodiesel, propane, and natural gas. The generator sets are extensively used for domestic and commercial applications, including in-house power backup, commercial events, live shows, tailgate events, concerts, market complex, machines & tools at constructions sites, and others. Easy mobility and conventional fuel sources make portable generators an ideal choice for temporary electricity generation among end users. In the coming years, demand for low-emission natural gas is projected to change the fuel sources utilized in generators. Furthermore, the industry is expected to benefit from changes in lifestyle and choice patterns for domestic essentials that require increased power usage.

Disruptions in supply chain caused due to the lockdown measures, has severely affected the supply chain thereby momentarily decreasing the demand for residential generators in 2020.

The growth of the residential generators is attributed to the unreliability of power grids. Furthermore, places prone to natural disasters and sudden power disruptions drive the demand for portable generators in the residential generators market. The most common portable generators used by residential end users have a power output of up to 6 kW. In emergency scenarios, such generators are utilized in homes to power a variety of appliances such as lights, freezers, sump pumps, heaters, TVs, water purifiers, and air conditioners. Portable generators are also utilized for tailgating, camping, and a variety of other activities.
