There is growing demand for power generators throughout the Middle East. Genset manufacturers are working closely with large contractors and rental companies to provide rental solutions to end users in this high-profit region. Manufacturers in the generator rental landscape are showcasing a broad portfolio of products at trade fairs to strategically position their companies in the global market landscape. They are supplying a variety of engines with generators to suit individual customer requirements. Trade fairs are becoming increasingly popular in the generator rental space, since stakeholders in the landscape get the opportunity to meet new customers and provide tailored solutions to them.

Manufacturers Targeting Profitable Opportunities in Middle East’s Oil & Gas Industry

The generator rental market is consolidated, with only three major players accounting for ~50% of the total market share. This makes it challenging for emerging players to gain market share in the landscape.

Due to various reasons, the global generator rental market is projected to progress at a modest CAGR of ~5% over the period of forecast. For example, power customers in Ketchikan – an Alaskan city, were told by the city’s power utility to reduce their electrical usage. Moreover, the city’s air quality permit prohibits the grouping of too many generators for prolonged hours. Hence, manufacturers in the generator rental ecosystem are tapping into opportunities in the Middle East where the oil & gas industry has created urgent need for high-performance generators.

Analyst’s Viewpoint

Asia Pacific has the potential for high growth in the global generator rental market. Likewise, unreliable power supply in India has created high need for generator rental services in the region. Manufacturers are developing diesel generators that provide fuel efficiency in a chosen range of operating loads.

Hybrid power generators are attaining increasing popularity as a sustainable solution in the landscape. However, hydropower generation poses a challenge in regions with low water level. Hence, manufacturers should target hydropower generation in regions such as East Asia and Pacific to capitalize on the environmental-friendly trend. They should also increase production capabilities to manufacture natural gas generators, since these generators are projected for high growth in the coming years.
