Diesel Powered Portable Conventional Gensets Market Size

Diesel Powered Portable Conventional Gensets Market size is estimated at USD 1.04 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 1.6 billion by the end of 2037, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of diesel powered portable conventional gensets is assessed at USD 1.08 billion.

The diesel powered portable conventional gensets market is proliferating due to frequent and prolonged power outages, increased awareness of natural disasters and emergencies, and increased preparedness.  According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) between 2013 and 2021, the average duration of a power outage in the U.S. grew from approximately 3.5 hours to more than seven hours. Additionally, the growing adoption of diesel gensets for outdoor activities, coupled with advancements in technology improving fuel efficiency and emissions, supports market growth. Economic expansion in developing regions also contributes to the rising demand for portable power solutions.

Natural calamities significantly drive the market due to the urgent need for backup power during emergencies. Events such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and wildfires often disrupt electrical infrastructure, leading to widespread outages. As a result, individuals, businesses, and emergency services rely on diesel gensets for immediate power restoration and to ensure continuity of essential services. A 2024 report published by Climate Central stated that weather accounted for 80% (1,755) of all major power outages reported in the U.S. between 2000 and 2023. The majority of weather-related disruptions were due to severe weather (58%), winter storms (23%), and tropical cyclones, including hurricanes (14%).
