Small Engine Market Analysis

Energy Source (Liquid Filling Petrol, Diesel, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG))

Diesel segment in the small engine market is expected to hold a share of 43% during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the demonstration of its extensive use in a variety of small engine applications, especially in heavy-duty and industrial machinery. The growing consumption of diesel globally is escalating the growth of the segment. For instance, in March 2024, the United States consumed approximately 3.77 million barrels of diesel fuel on average per day.  The increase in emphasis on greener and more ecologically friendly fuel options is the reason for this growth. Higher compression puts strain on diesel engines, which are designed to tolerate it. As a result, they often require fewer major repairs before breaking down than gas-powered vehicles. Diesel engines heat up more quickly than gas-powered engines do as the compression ratio increases. There are fewer trips to the gas pump to fill up because there is a production of more energy and less fuel. Therefore, these factors are accelerating the growth of the segment.

End-use (Lawnmower, Snow Blower, Garden Tiller, Chainsaw, Go Cart, Pressure Washer, Water Pump)

Water pump segment in the small engine market is anticipated to hold a share of 28% during the forecast period. The increase in demand for water pumps in important industries including construction, agriculture, and residential buildings can be attributed to the growth.
Because compact engines require less maintenance, there is an increasing demand for them in water pumps for outstanding irrigation lifetime and efficiency. For instance, a study on small engine cooling systems demonstrates that overheating issues can be avoided and the system's overall efficacy can be boosted by modifying the flow rates per specific criteria. The results further demonstrate that this modification can be achieved by designing a controlled electric water pump. Therefore, the growing demand for electric water pumps is contributing to the growth of the small engines market. Throughout the projection period, the water pump section is probably expected to grow significantly.
