Japan Diesel Generator Set Market to Reach Approx $1,816 million by 2030

The Japan diesel generator set market stood at approximately $1,120 million in 2021, and it is expected to grow at a rate of almost 6% by the end of this decade, to touch a value of about $1,816 million by 2030. The growth of the industry will be pushed by the surge in population in the cities and the high frequency of power cuts faced by a huge share of the population of the nation, because of natural calamities.

Japan is among the most-densely urbanized nations in the world. Among its 47 regions, only seven have a below 1 million population.  As per the World Bank, the urban population increased from about 91% of the total in 2010 to about 92% in 2020. Consequently, the urban areas are in need of a huge amount of electric power to meet the ends of the people. Thus, the requirement for generators is on the rise in the nation for meeting the demand for backup power.

In 2021, the commercial sector had the largest share in Japan diesel generator set market, and it will grow at a rate of about 6% by the end of this decade. Over the last ten years, companies in Japan are attentive to the future, as they begin businesses for long-term affluence. As opposed to 2020, both the hospitality and retail industries are expanding, because of the domestic company divestitures meant to reinforce the sectors.

Mavens of the Japan diesel generator set market are emphasizing on the innovation of the mechanism and power system of diesel gensets, for meeting the precise requirements of inhabitants of Japan. For example, in January 2022, Cummins Inc. introduced the C550D5 and C500D6 series diesel generators for prime and replacement purposes, in the country. This series is intended to offer an advanced power density as opposed to 15 and 16-liter alternates with a displacement of 42 kVA per liter.

Japan is a country that is often struck by natural disasters, and due to this, there is a frequent power outage in the country. This is the main reason for the increasing need for diesel gensets in the country.

Why Will 15–75 kVA Category Hold Largest Share in South Africa DG Set Market?

In 2021, the South Africa DG set market accounted for $113,289.3 thousand in revenue, which is projected to reach $159,129.0 thousand by 2030, advancing at a 3.9% CAGR from 2021 to 2030. This is owing to the rapid expansion in the manufacturing and construction industries, coupled with a dire demand for high- and medium-power DG sets from the commercial sector.  The expansion of such industries is particularly owing to the macroeconomic development, government reforms to encourage domestic and foreign investments, and increasing capital expenditure (CAPEX).

Due to the lower operating costs and less dependence on a single fuel, hybrid generators are becoming more and more recognized. Moreover, the persistent power cuts in the nation have not only caused traffic delays but also lowered quarrying activities. By ensuring a regular and frequent power supply, DGs have a prolific role in this industry, especially that have unreliable grid connectivity in states. All of these factors will together offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of this market.

The major share in the South Africa DG set market, of 40%,  in 2021 was held by 15–75 kVA, when segmented by power rating. This is credited to the growing adoption of gensets of this power rating in commercial and residential places, such as small offices, retail outlets, and telecom towers. Furthermore, power failure is often attributed to improper distribution channels and significant energy losses from the grid. 

The competitors in the South Africa DG set market are taking various measures for achieving dominance. For example, YANMAR established a relationship with Vert Energy Group in December 2020 to become the exclusive distributor of YANMAR’s industrial engines in South Africa and adjacent countries, succeeding Prodist. The major players in this market include GENERATOR BOYS, Aksa Power Generation SA (Pty) Ltd., Kohler Co., Jubaili Bros, Multilec Generator Services, Algen Power Generation (PTY) Ltd., Caterpillar Inc., PacB Power Solutions, Aggreko Ltd., Cummins Inc., and Atlas Copco AB. 

Thus, the government reforms for infrastructure development, along with the growth in the manufacturing and construction industries, are propelling the market.
