Global Temporary Power Market Size Study & Forecast, by Fuel Type (Diesel, Gas, Others) and End Use (Automotive & Transportation, Utilities, Oil & Gas, Construction & Mining, Events, Others) and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

The Global Temporary Power Market is valued at approximately USD 5,582.6 million in 2024 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 9.2% throughout the forecast period of 2025-2035. Temporary power solutions, often deployed as scalable and rapid-response electricity sources, are used across industries to mitigate outages, support peak-load demand, and ensure continuity in mission-critical operations. These systems—ranging from diesel and gas generators to hybrid mobile power units—are indispensable in bridging the gap between permanent infrastructure and immediate energy requirements. Growing electricity shortages, recurring grid failures, surging construction activities, and the increasing frequency of large-scale commercial events are collectively accelerating the adoption of temporary power solutions worldwide.

The rise in infrastructure development, emergency backup requirements, and expanding industrial operations has significantly elevated the demand for temporary power systems. As industries modernize and urban populations balloon, power grids increasingly struggle to keep pace with fluctuating consumption patterns, compelling companies to rely on temporary power for operational certainty. The oil & gas sector, for instance, frequently deploys mobile power units in off-grid drilling environments, while utility providers utilize them to stabilize networks during repair phases or extreme weather conditions. Meanwhile, the global push toward distributed energy solutions and advancements in cleaner gas-powered generators have opened new growth pathways for market players. Still, tightening emission regulations and the gradual shift toward renewable backup systems present challenges that the industry must navigate during the forecast horizon.

Diesel-based temporary power solutions are expected to dominate the market due to their unmatched reliability, ease of transportation, and high-power output capabilities, making them the most preferred choice across remote industrial locations and emergency-response deployments. The diesel segment continues to command strong market share as it supports essential on-site operations during outages, large construction activities, and heavy-duty industrial processes. However, gas-powered temporary power systems are gaining traction quickly, benefiting from cleaner combustion, evolving emission-compliance requirements, and increasing investments in gas-based hybrid systems. While diesel remains firmly established in terms of installed base and operational scalability, gas is set to emerge as the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.

From a revenue standpoint, the utilities segment leads the market, given its widespread requirement for temporary power during maintenance projects, unexpected blackouts, and peak load-balancing operations. Utility companies rely heavily on temporary power to stabilize grids, sustain customer supply, and execute infrastructure upgrades without service disruption. Meanwhile, construction & mining applications constitute another rapidly expanding segment owing to the rising number of megaprojects and the need for continuous power in remote or developing regions. Utilities remain at the top in terms of revenue contribution today, while construction & mining is projected to accelerate swiftly in adoption rate over upcoming years.

North America held the largest market share in 2025, supported by its robust industrial base, frequent need for grid support during extreme weather, vast construction pipelines, and the mature presence of established temporary power service providers. The region’s strong demand is further propelled by major commercial events and consistent grid modernization initiatives. Asia Pacific, however, is expected to grow at the fastest pace through 2035, driven by accelerating infrastructure development, increasing urbanization, expanding mining activities, and severe power shortages across rapidly emerging economies such as India, China, and Southeast Asian markets. Europe continues to experience steady adoption, particularly due to regulatory pressures encouraging cleaner temporary power solutions and increasing dependence on emergency backup systems during grid volatility. Meanwhile, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are witnessing rising deployment across oil & gas operations, construction zones, and utility maintenance activities, supported by ongoing national development programs.
