Portable Generators Market Size By Product (Conventional Portable, Inverter Portable), By Fuel & Power Rating (Diesel {< 20 kW, 20 kW - 50 kW, > 50 kW - 100 kW}, Gasoline {< 2 kW, 2 kW - 5 kW, 6 kW - 8 kW, > 8 kW - 15 kW}), By Phase (Single Phase, Three Phase), By End-Use (Residential, Commercial, Construction), & Forecast, 2023 - 2032

Global Portable Generators Market size is expected to record significant revenue gains through 2032, credited to rapid expansion of smart grid infrastructure. High vulnerability of North America electric grid’s resilience and dependability to large-scale power outages due to cyberattacks and extreme weather conditions poses major challenges to its energy sector.

To curb this issue, huge investments by the government in smart grid networks is likely to favor industry growth. As per the U.S. Department of Energy, in August 2022, the U.S. government announced its investment of around USD 10.5 billion for strengthening America’s electric grid.

The overall portable generators market is categorized on the basis of product, fuel & power rating, phase, end-use, and region.

Invertor portable generators market size recorded over USD 4 billion in 2022. Growing weather-related power failure has increased the demand for these generators. They have high fuel efficiency, parallel compatibility, and low noise levels, making them ideal for large-scale use. They are also more lightweight than conventional portable generators.

Moreover, recent innovations in engine and sound attenuation capabilities of inverter portable generators are further positively impacting segment outlook.

In terms of fuel & power rating, portable generators market size from the diesel segment is estimated to observe significant gains through 2032, owing to their high durability and power output. These generators are also more fuel efficient and have a longer lifespan than their gasoline counterparts. They do not require frequent refueling and their modern versions produce less noise. Additionally, these generators require less maintenance, which favors their mass adoption.

Single phase portable generators industry size is poised to witness significant gains through 2032, owing to their economic viability. These generators can power small appliances and can be used to supply backup power for essential operations in case of a power failure, which makes them suitable for residential applications. They are also more portable and lighter than their three-phase counterparts, which makes their installation and transportation easier.

Europe portable generators industry size recorded over USD 1.5 billion in 2022, owing to robust presence of market leaders such as Wacker Neuson, and others who are focusing on product innovations. Moreover, growing investments in infrastructure coupled with expanding construction industry has also increased the demand for portable generators in the region. In fact, the France 2030 investment plan has a budget of €54 billion (USD 59 billion) for the sustainable transformation of key sectors including energy, space, aeronautics, and automotive.
