Market Overview
The global portable generator market is expected to reach USD 6.26 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
Portable generators are devices that generate electrical power when grid power is unavailable. They are used in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, industrial, and construction. Portable generators are available in a range of sizes and power outputs, and can be powered by a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and propane.
With increasing generator output, more outlet combinations are available. Due to rising demand for reasonably priced, diesel-powered units, a preference for natural gas-powered units, and growing awareness of portable generators, the market for these devices is growing.
On the other hand, the market for portable generators is constrained by the short duration of the power supply and strict environmental rules restricting the emission of hazardous gases from diesel generators.
Portable generators are now essential for power backup due to the prevalence of power outages. As the world grows more industrialized, it is only anticipated to rise. Portable generators are often used as a power backup in residential areas and homes. Thus, the market for portable generators is expanding due to increased urbanization and industry.

Market Segment
The portable generators market share has been divided into segments based on area, end-user, application, fuel type, and power rating. The market is divided into three categories based on application: base load, standby power, and peak shaving. One of these is standby power, a significant market application sector.
A standby power plant is an electrical power-producing facility that only runs when the distribution system's electricity supply is interrupted
The market has been divided into diesel, gas, and other fuel types. 2016 saw the biggest market share for the fuel category. During the projection period, it is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR, largely due to strict environmental regulations that limit the release of dangerous gases from diesel generators. Others in terms of fuel include propane, LPG, and biodiesel.
The market has been divided into industrial, commercial, and residential segments based on end-user segments. Due to the rising demand for in-home power backup, the residential segment made up the bulk of the market. The market is divided into three categories based on power ratings: less than 3 KW, 3 KW–10 KW, and above 10 KW. During the forecast period, the less than 3kW portable generators market is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR.
Regional Analysis
According to region, the market has been split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Backup power generators market size worldwide is dominated by North America. The region's energy market is expanding as a result of the region's aging grid infrastructure, frequent natural disasters, and steadily rising industrial sector demand.
The U.S. dominates both the North American and international markets for portable generators. During the projected period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR, largely due to factors including the ongoing expansion of building and development activities. China, India, Japan, and Thailand are major participants in the Asia Pacific market.
