South Africa Diesel Generator Market Size Grows at Steady CAGR of 5.6% to Touch USD 157.5 Million by 2029

South Africa diesel generator market is gaining traction because of the rapid growth in telecom sector and government’s supportive initiatives for infrastructure development.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the South Africa Diesel Generator market size at USD 107.52 million in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the South Africa Diesel Generator market size to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% reaching a value of USD 157.45 million by 2029. Frequent power outages, which hamper economic activity, as well as the rising number of data centers as a result of growing digitalization, are major growth factors for the South Africa diesel generator market. As a result, the government is making large investments in power backup solutions to provide an uninterrupted power supply for ongoing economic activity.

South Africa Diesel Generator Market – Overview

A diesel generator produces electricity using an electric generator and a diesel engine. Combining the efficiencies of the diesel engine and alternator, the diesel generator has an efficiency range of 30%–50%. Generators are practical devices that provide electricity during a power outage, preventing the interruption of daily activities or business operations. They have 50% higher energy efficiency than a gasoline generator operating at the same capacity because they burn fuel using compression heat rather than spark ignition.
