Why Will 150–199 kVA Category Potentially Grow in the U.S. Diesel Genset Market?

By 2030, the United States diesel genset market will reach $3,132.4 million, from $2,175.6 million in 2021. The market is projected to grow at a 4.1% CAGR during 2021–2030, owing to the increasing instance of power outages and the rising need for reliable and uninterrupted power supply. Moreover, there is a surging need for power backup sources, ascribed to the skyrocketing development of residential homes, hotels, and corporate offices, which is boosting the demand for gensets.

The frequency of power outages in the country is increasing, owing to factors including overloading and aging power grids, and natural calamities. Prominent places that require a consistent and smooth power supply, include fire stations, data centers, telecom towers, nuclear power plants, and healthcare centers. The equipment and devices in these facilities can be affected by a power failure, which will lead to misfunctioning because of the lack of ability to handle load surges. Hence, the development in these application areas will drive the requirement for diesel gensets.

Within the power requirement segment, the U.S. diesel genset market is bifurcated into backup power and prime power. In 2021, the backup power category accounted for higher revenue, of $1.9 billion. This is ascribed to the surging use of DGs in manufacturing facilities, retail establishments, hospitality units, healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, hotels, shops, and houses, as a backup power solution. Further, people in the country are continually installing powered generators to curb power outages because of natural calamities and old electricity grid infrastructure.

The use of data in the U.S. diesel genset market is expanding as hyper-scale cloud providers and business organizations attempt to reap profits from local and worldwide data demand. With the gradual acceptance and swift expansion of technologies in the U.S., there is a dire need for extra storage space. This is predicted to create a snowballing demand for data centers in the future. Additionally, data centers create a high requirement for reliable power sources and need a consistent power supply, which, in turn, drives the requirement for diesel gensets.

Hence, the surging demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply and the increasing instances of power outages will provide lucrative opportunities for market players to gain a competitive edge.

Where Will Growing Mining Sector Take U.S. Engine-Driven Welder Market?

The growing requirement for engine-driven welders to suffice the dual purpose of producing power and welding in the mining industry and rising construction activities are driving the U.S. engine-driven welder market. Hence, equipment sales generated $122.3 million in 2021, and this number will likely grow to $185.8 million in 2030, with a 4.8% CAGR from 2021 to 2030. There has been a significant rise in the usage of improved engine-driven welders owing to manufacturing companies' development of small, light, and efficient products.

Due to the pacing up of mining activities across the country, the demand for such systems is likely to expand rapidly. The value of the raw mineral produced by the country in 2020 stood at $90,000 million, growing by another $10,000 million, or 10%, in one year. Moreover, a surge in the need to repair mining equipment propels the U.S. engine-driven welder market advance. Mining companies prefer such welders owing to their dual operational capability for prime and backup power supply, in addition to their primary purpose of welding.

The construction sector also utilizes engine-driven welders for various purposes, concerning their dual usage. Therefore, as construction activities are likely to increase in remote areas without any surety of power availability, the U.S. engine-driven welder market will only grow. Due to their application for supplying power when there is no ensured availability of electricity and serving as a welding machine simultaneously, they have become widely common in construction sites.

The sales of engine-driven welders with a power output of 300 to 399 Amperes continues to rise in the country. The primary factor behind such  U.S. engine-driven welder market growth in this category is their rising usage in the construction, pipeline, structural steelwork, and maintenance and fabrication applications. Farmers also widely use 300–399A engine-driven welders for equipment repair and fabrication applications. This is why this power rating category will likely witness the fastest growth, at a 5% CAGR, in the coming years.

Thus, the construction sector has benefitted the market due to the numerous infrastructure projects backed by the government of the country.
