The portable inverter generator market reached a valuation of US$ 3.05 Billion in 2022. Furthermore, across the 2022-2032 period of assessment, growth is expected to accelerate at a 9.7% CAGR, reaching US$ 7.7 Billion. Increasing adoption of portable generators owing to a rapidly growing construction industry is also propelling market growth. Power tools of all sizes, such as drills, drives, compressors, and air hammers, are widely used in the construction sector. Portable generators are used majorly for new construction projects, where most of the work is carried out at night and in conditions where power from power grids is not accessible.
ncreasing awareness of global warming has resulted in growing demand for portable generators based on biofuel, a sustainable energy source. Biofuel has chemical characteristics similar to that of petroleum-based fuels and hence, it can be used as a direct substitute for diesel fuel. Additionally, biofuel provides energy independence to countries such as Japan and Italy, which import petroleum and natural gas from other countries. Biofuels can be produced from soybean, canola, corn, used cooking oil, and animal fats. Rising demand for biofuel powered generators will provide an opportunity to market players over the forecast period.
Emerging countries like China, India, Indonesia and South Korea are expected to navigate the demand curve. Whereas, economies including the US, Germany and UK is expected to account for a notable share in portable inverter generator market. Portable inverter generator market is gaining momentum over conventional generators, due to its advanced technological features, high quality outputs, minimal NV (Noise & Vibration) levels and ease of carrying it anywhere.
