Electric Generators Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply among end-users is notably driving the electric generators market growth, although factors such as high maintenance and operation cost of generators may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the electric generators industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Electric Generators Market Driver
The increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply among end-users is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global electric generator market. The focus on economic development and increasing investments in industrialization are raising the demand for electric energy across the world. Most commercial and industrial sectors depend on the continuous and uninterrupted power supply to prevent damage to equipment, loss of service, and data loss. The need for reducing power interruptions has increased investments in improving power infrastructure worldwide. Power disruption in utilities is a major challenge faced by the industrial and commercial sectors. The aging power infrastructure is increasing the strain on power grids. Power outages, which are caused by natural calamities, failure in power distribution centers, and maintenance shutdown in work facilities, have increased across the globe. Hence, the sudden power outages and shortages because of various reasons are driving the demand for electric generators among end-users. These machines provide an uninterrupted power supply.
Key Electric Generators Market Trend
The focus on technological advances will fuel the global electric generators market growth. The growing demand for power backup solutions during outages across industries and in the commercial sector and the increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) have increased the opportunity for the growth of advanced electric generators across the globe. The integration of IoT in electric generators eases the maintenance process, which includes testing, monitoring, fixing, and component replacement. IoT is mainly used to manage and maintain electrical equipment or devices, including electric generators. Moreover, IoT-enabled maintenance of DG helps the industrial and commercial sectors to run their businesses effectively by increasing the operational efficiency of the DG. However, IoT integration with DG also helps in the monitoring of the fuel tank to detect fuel theft, ensure refueling, maintain a limit of carbon emission, and monitor engine efficiency. Companies are focusing on developing and offering IoT solutions for DG to minimize the overall capital expenditure and maximize the return on investment (ROI). For instance, Technoton offers diesel generator monitoring solutions for the remote monitoring of diesel generators, including the monitoring of fuel consumption and parameters of engine operations.
Key Electric Generators Market Challenge
The high maintenance and operation cost of generators is a major challenge for the global electric generators market growth. The operation cost of electric generators depends on the type of fuel used and the power load. Gasoline is the most widely used fuel source for generators. The average cost of gasoline is generally between $2.80 and $3.00. A portable electric generator consumes approximately 18 gallons of gasoline. Thus, the average operating cost of an electric generator ranges from $50 to $55 per day. The average cost of diesel generators ranges between $3.15 and $3.20. An electric generator of 20 kilowatt uses approximately 1.6 gallons of fuel per hour. However, the average cost to run the diesel generator generally ranges from $120 to $125. Hence, the high cost of the operation and maintenance of electric generators and the costs associated with the replacement and fixing of various parts of generators to improve operational efficiency are expected to hamper the growth of the global electric generators market to a certain extent during the forecast period.
This electric generators market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
