China Generator Sets Market Analysis
The China Generator Sets Market is expected to rise at a CAGR of more than 2.2% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. Currently., the market has not reached pre-pandemic levels and is expected to do so in one year.
- Over the medium term, factors such as lack of reliable grid infrastructure and the need for emergency backup power solutions in remote and rural areas are likely going to drive the China generator sets market.
- On the other hand, increasing the installation of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to provide a cleaner power supply is expected to restrain the China generator sets market.
- However, new technology, such as the increasing popularity of hybrid generator sets, can use batteries, renewable energy, or grid power as a primary energy source. This is expected to create several opportunities for China's generator sets market in the future.
China Generator Sets Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the China Generator Sets Market according to our research experts:
Diesel Segment Expected to Dominate the Market
- A generator set, also known as a Genset, is a piece of portable equipment consisting of an engine and a generator used to provide energy. Gensets are usually used in developing areas and other areas not connected to the power grid, where power outages are frequent and where an outage can cause especially significant or dangerous problems, such as deep in a mine or hospital. They can serve as the primary source of energy or as a supplementary power source, perhaps during peak usage hours.
- Diesel-based gensets use diesel as a fuel for converting chemical energy to mechanical energy and then to electrical energy. Factors such as high-efficiency work output and maximum fuel energy density make it more cost-effective than the gas and other fuel-based generator sets and likely drive the diesel-based generator sets segment.
- The internal need for infrastructure projects in China has been the largest in the world and the country's requirement for infrastructure. Backing the above, in 2020, several numbers of people got affected by COVID-19. Due to such a sharp rise in the number of people that require intensive care, the government built several hospitals to treat the affected ones. The infrastructures of the hospitals were built using generator sets as a primary energy source or a backup power source for 24 hours of energy supply.
- A similar trend of COVID-19 was also observed in the country in 2022, leading to a rise in demand of diesel-based generators for power backup for health infrastructure.
- Hence, owing to the above points, diesel-based generator sets are likely going to dominate the china generator sets market during the forecast period.
Growing Industrialization Expected to Drive the Market
- China has the largest population, because of which there is a constant increase in the energy demand that requires an increasing number of industrial operations in the country and is expected to drive the generator sets market in the country. The continually growing demand for uninterrupted power supply in the country is also expected to drive the generator sets market in the country.
- The country's gas production industry is booming at a reasonable rate, which is likely going to drive the generator sets market in the country. The gas sector is one of the sectors where generator sets are used in an extensive amount to provide power to the site of gas production because of the remote areas in which wells are located. In 2021, China produced 209.2 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas, which was higher than what was produced in 2020, 194 billion cubic metres (bcm).
- Moreover, steel production in China accounts for 50% of global steel production, which makes it a massive market for diesel generators. The steel industry is exceptionally energy-intensive, and its operations are highly dependent on power generated from diesel generator sets during the power outages.
- The generator sets are used for generating electricity, and in 2021 the total electricity generated in the country was 8534 terawatt-hours (TWh), which was higher than what country produced in 2020, 7779 terawatt-hours (TWh). Still increasing electricity generation cannot match the country's energy demand; there are still several electricity cuts in the country. This gap between demand and supply of energy is expected to drive the generator sets market in the country.
- As of 2022, China had 54 operational nuclear power reactors and 22 under construction or in the development phase. Due to the excessive use of coal-fired power plants and the pollution it causes, China government has a long term target to use more of closed-cycle nuclear power to satisfy its energy demand. These nuclear power plants are expected to use generator sets in case of a power outage or emergency.
- Hence, due to the above points, growing industrialization is expected to drive the China generator set market during the forecast period.
