The global emergency power generators market size was USD 3888 million in 2022, as per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 7212.28 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with emergency power generators market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

Emergency power generators are devices designed to provide electrical power during situations when the regular power supply is disrupted or unavailable. They are commonly used in various settings, including homes, businesses, hospitals, data centres, and disaster relief operations.

Emergency power generators come in different types, including portable generators and standby generators. The power output of emergency generators can vary significantly. Portable generators usually range from a few hundred watts to several kilowatts, while standby generators can provide power ranging from a few kilowatts to several hundred kilowatts or even megawatts. Fuel Source: Emergency generators can be fuelled by gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane. The choice of fuel depends on factors such as availability, cost, and the specific requirements of the generator.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market

The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains, affecting the production and delivery of emergency power generators. Lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and factory closures disrupted the manufacturing and distribution of generators, leading to delays and shortages in the market. The pandemic resulted in reduced demand for power generators in specific sectors. For example, the hospitality industry, including hotels and resorts, experienced significant declines in occupancy rates and event cancellations, leading to decreased demand for backup power solutions. With many businesses implementing remote work policies, the need for backup power generators in office buildings and commercial spaces decreased. This shift reduced the demand for generators in certain segments. The pandemic caused delays in infrastructure projects, including construction and installation projects where power generators are typically required. Uncertainty, budget constraints, and labor shortages contributed to postponed projects and subsequent impacts on the demand for generators.
