Natural Gas Generator Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global natural gas generator market size attained a value of approximately USD 7.15 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 7.10%, reaching a value of around USD 14.20 Billion by 2034.

The growing usage of natural gas generators by industrial and commercial end users for peak shaving is driving the market growth for natural gas generators. Supplementing electricity supply with natural gas generators during periods of peak energy demand helps save costs for industrial and commercial end users. Over the forecast period, the anticipated increase in investments towards developing power plants and electrical grid facilities are expected to garner the growth of the natural gas generator market. The expansion of various sectors such as power generation, electrical and electronics, and automotive, among others, and rising importance of uninterrupted power supply is further adding to the market growth.

Rising Demand for Eco-Friendly Generators to Boost the Growth of Natural Gas Generator Market

The growth in the global market for natural gas generators can be associated with the introduction of environmentally friendly and sustainable generators. Due to the combustion of diesel, mainstream generators emit harmful gases, such as nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, which are harmful to the environment. As a result, various regulatory authorities have imposed stringent regulations that make the use of diesel generators difficult. Thus, the development of eco-friendly alternatives to diesel generators, such as natural gas generators that aid in lowering down carbon emissions, has grown in popularity and are providing impetus to the market.

In addition, owing to the surging demand for electricity from various end-use sectors, industrialisation, urbanisation, and the growing population levels is pressing the need for an effective and efficient source of power generation. These factors are increasing the adoption of natural gas generators and bolstering the market growth.

Global Natural Gas Generator Market Share by Region

North America is projected to hold a significant share in the global market for natural gas generators. The United States has one of the most advanced gas-grid infrastructures in the world, ensuring consistent fuel supply. In addition, the United States is one of the leading producers and providers of natural gas due to the shale gas revolution, which is a major driving force of the market for natural gas generators. Moreover, natural gas generator usage in the residential sector for backup power implementations is expected to grow in the coming years as the cost of natural gas falls. Furthermore, as air emission standards in the United States become more rigorous, the demand for natural gas generators is expected to skyrocket, as opposed to traditional generating units, which are considered more polluting.
