Natural Gas Generator Market Report 2026

The natural gas generator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.73 billion in 2025 to $9.55 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in use of conventional gas-based generators, increasing deployment in industrial facilities, reliance on steel-based genset enclosures, adoption of standby generators in commercial spaces, rise in residential emergency power systems.

The natural gas generator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for low-emission backup power, rising adoption of remote generator monitoring, expansion of distributed energy systems, development of hybrid natural gas gensets, growth in industrial and commercial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of low-emission natural gas power systems, adoption of IoT-enabled generator monitoring, development of digitalized power management platforms, advancement of clean distributed energy technologies, integration of smart industrial backup solutions.

The anticipated growth of the natural gas generator market is expected to be fueled by the rising production of natural gas in the coming years. Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane (CH4), along with small quantities of other hydrocarbons, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and various gases. Natural gas generators enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of natural gas production by supplying on-site power for essential operations throughout the production and processing stages. For example, the Energy Information Administration, a government agency in the US, reported in September 2024 that domestic dry natural gas production reached 37.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2023, averaging 103.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). This figure represents a 4.3% increase compared to the 2022 level of 99.3 Bcf/d. As a result, the rising production of natural gas is driving the growth of the natural gas generator market.

Major companies in the monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) market are concentrating on creating advanced beamforming solutions to boost the performance of satellite communication (SATCOM) systems. Beamforming technology within MMICs enables accurate steering of signals and optimized power distribution, leading to better connectivity, higher data rates, and greater efficiency in satellite terminals. For example, in March 2025, Qorvo, a US-based supplier of innovative RF technologies, launched its new-generation Ku-band beamformers tailored for high-performance SATCOM terminals. These beamformers provide enhanced integration, superior signal precision, and scalable performance, enabling more efficient and reliable satellite communication across defense, commercial, and aerospace applications.

In March 2023, Brookfield Renewable Partners, a prominent UK-based renewable energy company, joined forces with other entities to complete the acquisition of Origin Energy for $10.21 billion.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the natural gas generator market by increasing the cost of imported engines, alternators, steel housings, and electronic control units used across industrial, commercial, and residential generator systems. These effects are most visible in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, where manufacturers depend heavily on cross-border component sourcing. Nevertheless, tariffs are promoting localized fabrication, regional material sourcing, and the development of cost-efficient natural gas generator designs, improving long-term resilience and supporting cleaner energy adoption.

This natural gas generator market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A natural gas generator operates by using natural gas instead of petrol or diesel to generate electricity through a combustion process involving a mixture of fuel and air.

The primary types of natural gas generators include standby and prime models. Standby generators serve as backup power sources, ensuring continuous electricity supply to businesses, commercial and industrial applications, or facilities during power outages. They come in various power ratings such as low, medium, and high in both single-phase and three-phase configurations, constructed using materials such as aluminum, composite, or steel. These generators cater to the needs of industrial, commercial, and residential end-users.North America was the largest region in the natural gas generators market in 2025.Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the global natural gas generator market report during the forecast period.
