Overview

Portable generators are mainly to soften power cuts. Portable generators are also used in events, bungalows, etc. Standby generators are mainly used in commercial and industrial applications, as power generated by these generators is very high as compared to portable ones.

Standby generators are used to provide backup power in shopping malls, hospitals, etc.  Furthermore, the usage is high industrial applications such as manufacturing, construction sites, and chemicals.

Driving Factors

• With advancements in technology, the demand for generators has risen dramatically. Persistent innovations in electrical technologies have further contributed to the demand for generators.

• The cost of solar power generators is witnessing a steady fall. This decrease in cost is also supported by reducing maintenance cost and focus on manufacturers to provide improved products and services focusing on customer base expansion and retention. Moreover, the increasing cost of fossil fuels is expected to fuel the adoption of solar power during the forecast period.

Key Challenges

• One of the prime factors restraining the generator market growth is the need for huge capital investment. Weak private sector investment and fragile external sector demand are likely to pull down industrial production in the coming years.

Market Preference

• There is a wide-ranging variety of generators sold in the market. These can be bought in diverse specifications, and depending on the requirement that is capacity and demand from end-use. Most residential end-users prefer to buy portable generators.
