Portable generators are made to provide alternating current for standalone and non-hardwired applications. The rising power outages due to changing weather conditions has resulted in a number of uninterrupted power supply. This is a key factor driving demand for the power generators in the global industry. As a result of an increasingly rising building and construction industry, the high use of portable generators also propels the business growth. Power tools of all types are commonly used in the construction sector, such as compressors, drills, air hammers and motors. Portable generators are primarily used for new construction and building projects especially at night and when electricity is not accessible from the power grid station.
The global portable generator market revenue is projected to reach close to USD 2.9 billion by 2028. The growing developments from the market is due to the increasing demand from countries like the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Additionally, highly increasing power outages in developed and developing nations for stable and uninterrupted power supply are projected to push the global portable generator industry over the coming years.

The use of fuel type provides a longer life to the product and its capacity to generate heavy outputs, Gasoline portable generators are largely used in the construction, mining, gas and oil industries.
Application Segment
In terms of the application segment, the market is segmented into emergency and prime/continuous. In 2019, the prime/continuous segment accumulated the fastest growth rate and is expected to continue the CAGR trend over the forecast years. Increasing construction activities are expected to create demand for portable generators for prime and continuous power applications in countries such as India, the UAE, China, Saudi Arabia and the US. However, the continuous need of power supply in the heavy machinery equipment industries in all over the globe has anticipated the demand for the prime portable generators in the market.
End Use Segment
In terms of the end use segment, the market is segmented into industrial, residential, and commercial. In 2019, the residential segment accumulated the major market share and is expected to continue the trend over the forecast years. The products are in high demand from the small machinery industries in use for the local manufacturing products. The commercial applications for the products from the industries are generally in the production of machineries such as agricultural, drills, air compressors and vibrators.
The Asia Pacific region dominated the overall market growth with a CAGR of more than 5.5% in 2019 and it is projected to keep its position during the forecast years 2018-2028.
