The rental power generation market is popular in developing and underdeveloped countries, owing to power shortages being a major issue, says market research company ReportBuyer.

With power an essential component for the enhancement of any country or economy and playing a vital role in the development of society, the company says generator rental is a relatively viable option for power generation in cases of power outages or excessive demand for power.

All sectors at some point depend on rental generators for their power requirements. These generators cater to a range of power demands, whether from a single house or society or from a major event or from a power- intensive industry.

The company says the power generator rental markets are classified on the basis of generator rating. Up to 100 kVa generators are mainly used in residential and smaller commercial applications, and the 101 kVa to 500 kVa generators are commonly used in large commercial complexes, large-scale events and the smaller industrial sector. The 501 kVa to 1 000 kVa generators are primarily used for medium to large-scale industrial applications with generators rating above 1 000 kVa being used in utilities and large-scale industrial applications.

The company explains that power generator rental can also be classified based upon the fuel-type used – diesel and natural gas generators. Further, the power generator rental market can also be segregated based upon end-user segments, such as utilities, oil and gas, mining, construction, events and others.

Market Trends

ReportBuyer explains that the major driving factor behind the growth of the power generator rental market is rising electricity demand, along with increased power outages, which is a common problem, especially in developed and underdeveloped countries.

“In the emerging markets, the void between the demand for power and the pace of investment in new power generation capacities and in replacement of existing power infrastructure has resulted in frequent outages and power cuts,” it says.
ReportBuyer adds that the delay in the installation of new capacities is owing to the capital constraints in these regions, along with ageing infrastructures becoming a key factor for the market.
