Gas Engine Market By Fuel Type (Natural Gas, Special Gas, Others), By Power Output (0.5-1 MW, 1-2 MW, 2-5 MW, 5-15 MW, Above 15 MW), By Application (Power Generation, Mechanical Drive, Cogeneration, Others), By End Use (Marine, Utilities, Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global gas engines market size was valued at $4.2 billion in 2021, and projected to reach $6.0 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 3.8% from 2022 to 2031.
A gas engine is a reciprocating internal combustion engine, which primarily runs on natural gas and other special gas such as shale gas, mine gas, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas, and syngas. These engines generally achieve more than 90% efficiency due to their high electrical and thermal efficiency, low operating and service costs, and high reliability. They are used for various applications including power generation, cogeneration, mechanical drive, and tri-generation applications, such as district heating schemes, hospitals, universities, or industrial plants.
The construction of new power plants and transmission lines requires massive investment and high maintenance. Most of the government companies prefer to offer cost-effective ways to fulfill electricity demand. According to the World Energy Council (WEC), the global electricity demand is expected to double by 2050. The rise in demand for integrating natural gas in electricity generation mix and improving natural gas associated infrastructure will have positive impact on the market. Gas engines based distributed power generation is fast emerging as an economical solution for government companies which is projected to drive the growth of the market.
Caterpillar Inc. and MAN SE are offering low pollutions engines with fuel type natural gas having ultimate reliability and the highest energy efficiency. Natural gas based engines deliver better functioning than coal plants because they can be turned up and down rapidly. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the total fossil fuel supply is expected to be 80% by 2040, making natural gas based engines the most preferred fuel in the future.
The global gas engines market is segmented on the basis of by power output, fuel type, application, end use and region.

COVID-19 analysis:
COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments and infrastructure companies. The novel coronavirus has affected several economies ad caused lockdown in many countries, which has limited the growth of the market. The shutdown of industrial manufacturer led to the decline in the demand for gas engine in most of the countries across the world led to decline in the demand for the gas engine market. The decrease in utilization of power in the industrial facilities across the globe during the outbreak has a negative impact on the development of the market.
In several countries, the renewable sector is mainly dependent on imports from other regions, primarily China. Around 60% of engines and generation sets are produced in the U.S. and are supplied across the globe. Gas based engines project developers worldwide are worried about project delays due to the slowdown of manufacturing in the U.S. Major suppliers are also observing production delays due to COVID-19, thereby causing a huge backlog for fulfilling orders. These factors hampered the growth of the market in the forecast period.
After the global vaccination the government of various countries has taken initiatives to increase the investment in the renewable energy related industries, especially gas fired power systems. Increase in investment is mostly to improve the national energy security during the pandemic and other crisis. The presence of above mentioned activities and change in policies due to outbreak of pandemic have positive impact on the development of the market during the forecast period.
