Global diesel generators market to reach value of US$115.1bn in coming years
Diesel generators – key countries' market volume (GW) in 2017 and 2022.
The global Diesel Generator market
registered a market value of US$17.35bn in the year 2017. This has emerged from GlobalData’s latest report - Diesel Generators Market, Update 2018 – Global Market Size, Competitive Landscape, Key Country Analysis, and Forecast to 2022.

Sarulla power plant goes online in
Indonesia Ormat Technologies Inc. has announced that the second unit of the Sarulla geothermal power plant, one of the world's largest power plants, located in Indonesia's North Sumatra, has commenced commer- cial operation. The Sarulla power plant includes
three units of approximately 110 MW each, utilizing both steam and brine extracted from the geothermal field to increase the power plant’s efficiency. SIL, the first unit of the power plant commenced commercial operation on March 17, 2017 and is performing well.
identified as the top country for the diesel generators market in terms of market volume, followed by the US and India. In 2017, in terms of market volume, China held an 18.2% share in the global market and is expected to hold 19.50% in 2022. China still lacks an extensive national grid; rural areas are not adequately connected. To support economic growth in these areas, the gov- ernment is promoting distributed generation, which is expected to benefit the generators market. The new research further reveals that
the Asia-Pacific region proved the largest market for diesel generators during the year 2017, registering 26.8% of the global market share in terms of market value. Europe was the second-largest market,
representing 23.9%, followed by the Middle East and Africa (MEA) with 21.6%. The North America and the South and Central America regions shared 19.6% and 8.1%, respectively. Some of the top global diesel
generators participants are Caterpillar, Cummins, Rolls-Royce Power Systems, SDMO, Generac and Briggs & Stratton, Deutz, Honda, Mitsubishi, Wärtsilä, MAN, Scania, Volvo Penta and Wacker Neuson. During the forecast period 2018– 2022, the global diesel generators

market is expected to register an aggregate market value of US$115.1bn. High industrial growth, rapid increase in urbanization and per capita income, and the consequent increase in disposable income have helped improve living standards and increase the demand for power backup devices. The global diesel generators market is
projected to grow at a moderate growth rate accompanied by growing industrial, commercial, and residential activities. Power deficits, unreliable and uneconomical power supplies from the grid, low capital cost of diesel generators, mature technology, and ready fuel availability are the key factors driving the growth of the diesel generators market. Diesel generators are the most preferred power backup solution and accounted for more than 80% of the global generators market in 2017. Energy demand in developing countries
is growing in line with their infrastruc- tural growth and economic development, whereas in developed countries it is increasing, although slowly, as a result of further improvement in people’s lifestyles.
