Gasoline Gensets Market Report 2026

The gasoline gensets market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.88 billion in 2025 to $4.11 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in backup power usage, early reliance on gasoline engines, expansion of residential generator installations, increased commercial outage management, traditional portable genset adoption.

The gasoline gensets market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for reliable power backup, expansion of construction site power requirements, increasing frequency of grid instability events, growth in smart monitoring of small generators, development of fuel-efficient compact genset designs. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of low-emission smart power solutions, expansion of IoT-enabled remote genset monitoring, development of automated backup power systems, advancement of intelligent fuel-efficiency technologies, integration of cloud-connected maintenance platforms.

The increasing demand for power supplies is projected to drive the growth of the gasoline gensets market in the future. Power supply refers to the amount of energy that a battery or fuel source can provide to power a device. Gensets serve as backup power sources in various settings, from construction sites to homes, generating electricity to operate equipment like household appliances and construction machinery. This approach allows for more economical management of power demand. For example, in February 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that global electricity demand is expected to grow by 3% annually from 2023 to 2025 compared to the growth rate in 2022. Hence, the rising demand for power supplies is fueling the growth of the gasoline gensets market.

Leading manufacturers operating in the gasoline gensets market are focusing on developing technological advancements such as inverter-based portable generator systems with electronic fuel injection (EFI) to deliver efficient, stable, and environmentally responsible power for residential, commercial, and outdoor applications. An inverter-based gasoline generator integrates a variable-speed EFI engine with an inverter module that converts raw AC output into clean, low-distortion power, enabling reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and safer operation of sensitive electronic equipment compared to conventional constant-speed generators. For instance, in May 2023, Generac Holdings Inc., a U.S.-based power systems manufacturer, launched the GP15500EFI and GP18000EFI portable gasoline generators. The models feature Generac’s G-FORCE 816cc EFI engine designed for optimum fuel efficiency, TruePower technology providing less than 5% total harmonic distortion, COsense carbon monoxide detection with automatic shutdown, and rugged steel frames with electric start and extended runtime capabilities, offering dependable, high-wattage portable power for whole-home backup and job-site applications.

In June 2024, DEUTZ AG, a Germany-based provider of engines and drive systems for off-highway and stationary applications, acquired Blue Star Power Systems, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expands DEUTZ’s presence in the distributed power generation market and strengthens its capabilities in manufacturing complete generator sets, enabling it to integrate its engine technologies with Blue Star’s expertise in designing and producing diesel and gas gensets ranging from 20 kWe to 2,000 kWe. Blue Star Power Systems is a U.S.-based provider of diesel and gas generator sets.

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 influenced the gasoline genset market by raising costs for imported engines, alternators, metal housings, electronic controllers, and carburetor components. Residential, commercial, and construction sectors in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe face higher procurement costs and slower inventory replenishment due to supply chain dependencies. However, tariffs are supporting localized genset assembly and regional sourcing of small engine components, encouraging development of cost-optimized and energy-efficient generator models that strengthen long-term market resilience.

This gasoline gensets market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A gasoline genset, short for a gasoline generator set, is a mobile electric generator that utilizes gasoline as fuel to produce and generate electricity. It is commonly employed to supply power to residences or commercial establishments facing regular power outages. This machine converts chemical energy from gasoline into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.

The primary types of gasoline gensets include portable and stationary models. Portable generators generate electricity by utilizing gasoline, gas, or other fuels to power an engine or appliance. Power ratings for these generators typically range from < 2kVA, 2kVA - 3.5kVA, 3.5kVA - 5kVA, 5kVA - 6.5kVA, 6.5kVA - 8kVA, to 8kVA - 15kVA. These power categories can be further divided into single-phase and three-phase systems, catering to residential, commercial, and construction end users.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the gasoline gensets market in 2025.
