The data center generator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.68 billion in 2025 to $7.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of data center construction activities, increasing frequency of power outages, rising demand for high-availability infrastructure, growth in digital service consumption, availability of diesel generator solutions.
The data center generator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of low-emission generators, rising focus on energy resilience planning, expansion of hyperscale data centers, growing investments in renewable-integrated backup systems, increasing regulatory pressure on emissions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of high-capacity backup generators, rising adoption of gas and hybrid generators, growing focus on tier iii and tier iv compliance, expansion of redundant power architectures, enhanced integration of generator monitoring systems.
The growth in the number of data centers is anticipated to drive the expansion of the data center generator market. A data center is a large collection of interconnected computer servers that companies commonly use for the remote processing, archiving, or transmission of substantial amounts of data. The demand for data center capacity is soaring to unprecedented levels due to digital transformation and the surge in cloud services. Consumer-oriented cloud providers and hyperscale operators are aggressively expanding their operations, which necessitates data center generators. These generators provide backup power in the event of a utility power outage. For example, in April 2024, Brightlio, a US-based technology solutions provider, reported that there were approximately 10,978 data centers worldwide in 2023. The leading countries include the United States (5,388), Germany (522), the U.K. (517), China (449), and Canada (336). Thus, the increasing number of data centers is expected to fuel the growth of the data center generator market.
Major companies operating in the data-center generator market are focusing on developing eco-fuel dual-mode generator sets to meet the rising demand for higher reliability, scalability, and sustainability in backup power systems. An eco-fuel dual-mode generator set is a backup power solution capable of switching between conventional diesel or gas and lower-carbon alternatives. For instance, in April 2025, Generac Power Systems Inc., a US-based designer and manufacturer of large-scale diesel and natural-gas generator systems, introduced a new line of generators designed specifically for data-center applications. The product range includes units from 2.25 MW to 3.25 MW and features a high-pressure common-rail engine, a mission-critical controller, a low-NOₓ after-treatment system, high-ambient-temperature cooling packages, and redundant starting systems, delivering scalable, modular power solutions for hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and edge data centers.
In September 2023, Aksa Power Generation, a Türkiye-based provider of industrial and rental generator sets, acquired a majority stake in Dagartech for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Aksa Power Generation aimed to expand its European presence and accelerate its shift toward Stage-5-emission-compliant generator technologies within the data-center backup-power market. Dagartech is a Spain-based provider of data-center generators.
