The global diesel generator market size is expected to reach USD 30.75 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Proliferating demand for emergency power backup and stand-alone power generation systems across several end-use industries including manufacturing & construction, telecom, chemical, marine, oil & gas, healthcare, and others are likely to strengthen the market growth during the forecast period.

Rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and continuous population growth are among the major factors driving global power consumption. Rising penetration of electronic device load across various commercial scale structures such as data centers has resulted in the higher deployment of diesel generators in order to prevent disruption of daily business activities and provide uninterrupted electricity supply during sudden power outages.

Diesel generator set manufacturers adhere to several regulations and compliances regarding the safety, design, and installation of the system. For instance, the Gen-set should be designed in facilities certified to ISO 9001 and be manufactured in facilities certified to ISO 9001 or ISO 9002, with the prototype test program authenticating the performance reliability of the gen-set design. Certifications from leading organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CSA group, Underwriters Laboratories, and International Building Code are expected to enhance the product marketability over the forecast period.
