By 2030, the U.S. 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.
