The global Market size was valued at around USD 35.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.6%, reaching USD 71.92 billion revenue by 2037. North America is poised to collect USD 28.77 billion by 2037, driven by increasing demand for renewable energy resources.
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the U.S. has experienced an average of about 18 billion USD in climate disasters each year, with about 18 climate disasters in 2022 causing a total of more than ​​175.2 billion USD in damage and resulting in 474 fatalities.
Furthermore, there is a rapid increase in industrialization due to the increase in factories, and manufacturing plants to operate the equipment and production lines. The US economic growth has been mainly concentrated in a few places, such as 6% of the US accounts for about two-thirds of the GDP output, they have greatly increased the generator market in the forecasted years.
Generator Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing use of renewable energy sources: The increasing usage of several renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, has led to a growing demand for generators that work with these renewable sources. According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, renewable energy made up about 19.8& of electricity generation in 2020, along with hydro and wind making up the majority of it. This is expected to increase to 35% by 2030, and most of this increase is expected to be from wind and solar.
- Growing focus on environmental consciousness and sustainability: The generator market has shown a growing focus on environmental concerns along with sustainability options, this drives the demand for cleaner and more energy-efficient generators.
- Growing demand for smart energy solutions: The advancement of such technology particularly Artificial Intelligence-based technologies, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, has increased the demand for many smart energy solutions, in which data-driven insights are used to improve energy utilization, management, and consumption.
- Growing use of digital monitoring and control systems: Digital monitoring and control systems are becoming increasingly advanced and sophisticated, allowing for better monitoring and control of generators, and improved energy management and optimization. This is driving the demand for generators that can be equipped with these systems.
Challenges
- Competition and market disruption- The US generator market is highly competitive and is continuously advancing by upgrading new technologies such as EVs, renewable energy, and battery-storage solutions. This can act as a restraint for this market growth or even disrupt and shrink the market.
- High purchasing and maintenance costs.
- Limited availability of skilled labor.

Generator Market Segmentation
Fuel (Diesel, Gas, Hybrid, LPG, Bio-fuels)
The diesel segment in the generator market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 42% in the coming years owing to its high energy density, making it a good choice for generating power, it also has an efficient combustion, which reduces emissions and improves the environmental profile of the generators. According to a report, in the combustion of a diesel engine using ultra-low sulfur diesel biodiesel at 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100% under partial load conditions, the maximum pressure in the cylinder is decreased by using biodiesel at all loads, along with B100 compared to diesel fuel, mainly to lower the achieved heat release.
Application (Continuous, Peak, Stand by Load)
The stand load segment in the generator market is set to garner a notable share shortly and is likely to remain the second largest segment in the application of the market as the demand for off-grid systems, which provide power independently of the grid, has also grown, due to the need for improved energy security and safety. Stand-by load systems are a vital component of such systems, and their growing demand has driven the overall US market.
Moreover, the stand-by Load is a crucial component of emergency power systems, and the growing awareness and preparedness for disasters and emergencies have led to a growing demand for stand-by load systems.
End-users (Commercial, Residential, Mining, Oil & gas, Construction, Manufacturing, Marine, Pharmaceuticals)
The commercial segment in the generator market is estimated to hold a noteworthy share due to the increasing aim of reducing the environmental footprint and becoming more sustainable in our practices. The usage of generators which produces lower emissions along with the usage of less energy helps to fulfill such objectives. Furthermore, generators that use renewable and alternative fuels can also fulfill the goal of being more environmentally conscious. This has also contributed to the growth of the US market.
Moreover, the increasing investment and expansion of existing facilities, such as warehouses, factories, and offices, has also driven the demand for generators, as the existing power infrastructure may not be sufficient to accommodate the new requirements.
