The generator sales market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $24.87 billion in 2025 to $25.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in sales of diesel, gas, and other generator types, increase in adoption across industrial, commercial, and residential segments, expansion in standby and prime applications, growth in portable and industrial generator installations, integration of dual-fuel and renewable-powered generators.
The generator sales market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.15 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in AI and IoT-enabled monitoring systems, rising deployment of predictive maintenance, growth in environmentally friendly generators, expansion in digital generator management, increasing adoption of smart energy solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of smart generator monitoring systems, deployment of IoT-enabled generator sensors, predictive maintenance using ai, adoption of digitalized generator management, expansion of environmentally friendly generator technologies.
The increasing demand for energy is expected to drive growth in the generator sales market. As global energy needs rise, there is a growing requirement for efficient and reliable solutions to meet this demand. Generators are essential across various sectors, including power generation, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure development, providing power for machinery, equipment, and the conversion of renewable energy into electricity. For example, in September 2025, the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero reported that between 2023 and 2024, final energy consumption in the United Kingdom increased by 2.6%, reaching 128.1 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe). The domestic sector saw a notable rebound, with consumption rising 3.8% to 34 Mtoe in 2024, following record lows in 2023. Consequently, the rising demand for energy is expected to propel the generator sales market during the forecast period.
Technological advancement is a significant trend gaining traction in the generator sales market. The market is experiencing the emergence of innovative generators that utilize advanced technologies, including sustainable generators, hydrogen fuel cell generators, and more. These innovations provide continuous and efficient power supply or backup, sustainability, cost reduction, low maintenance, and various other advantages. Major players in the market are concentrating on delivering generators with groundbreaking technologies to satisfy customer needs and bolster their market position. For example, in September 2024, Mahindra & Mahindra, an India-based automobile manufacturing company, introduced a new range of CPCB 4+ Diesel Generators, which represents a substantial addition to their Mahindra Powerol lineup. This new range includes generators with capacities from 10VA to 320kVA and is designed to adhere to the latest emission standards established by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in India.
