Silent Generator Global Market Report 2024

Silent generators are designed to act as backup power sources during outages and in locations where additional electricity is required. The term 'silent' refers to generators that produce minimal noise compared to conventional diesel generators. These generators are constructed with robust materials that help dampen sound and contain the energy within.

The primary types of silent generators include portable and stationary variants. Portable generators operate using a gas-powered engine that generates electricity through an onboard alternator. These generators feature power outlets to connect extension cables, electric-powered equipment, and appliances. Silent generators are available in various power ratings, ranging from up to 25 KVA, 25 KVA - 49 KVA, 50 - 99 KVA, 100- 499 KVA, to above 500 KVA. They can utilize fuels such as gas, diesel, and others, with applications in standby and peak power as well as serving as the prime mover. End-users of silent generators span residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

This silent generator market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The silent generator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.89 billion in 2023 to $3.12 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increased demand for reliable backup power solutions, growth in the construction and industrial sectors, concerns over power outages and grid instability, the application of generators in remote and off-grid settings, and a heightened awareness of noise pollution concerns, which has contributed to the preference for quieter and more efficient generators such as silent generators.

The silent generator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including a shift towards cleaner and greener generator technologies, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) for remote monitoring and control of generators, the adoption of energy storage and hybrid generator systems, an increased demand for silent generators in residential areas, the emphasis on sustainable and low-emission power generation, and the expanding telecommunication and data center sectors. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the development of smart silent generators with predictive maintenance capabilities, the use of inverter generators tailored for sensitive electronic devices, the introduction of portable and compact silent generator solutions, the integration of renewable energy sources for silent power generation, the promotion of energy-efficient and fuel-flexible generator options, and the emergence of rental and on-demand silent generator services.

The rising demand for a consistent and dependable power supply during blackouts in the residential sector is fueling the increase in the adoption of silent generators by individuals and companies. Many are opting for generators due to the lack of a reliable power supply and to overcome blackouts or power outages in residential areas. For instance, as per a semi-annual electricity market report from The International Energy Agency (IEA), predicting an average annual growth of 2.7 percent in electricity demand from 2022 to 2024, the increasing need for electricity is likely to lead to a higher usage of silent generators to ensure a steady and reliable power supply. This growing demand for uninterrupted power during blackouts in the residential sector is expected to drive the silent generator market in the coming years.

The surge in the number of data centers is anticipated to be a significant driver for the silent generator market. Data centers, housing critical computer systems and equipment, require a constant and uninterrupted power supply to ensure the seamless functioning of servers and networking equipment. Silent generators play a crucial role in data centers by providing power without causing disruptions due to noise, thanks to noise reduction technology. For instance, as of January 2021, there were approximately 8,000 data centers worldwide, with over 2,600 of them situated in the United States, according to the United States International Trade Commission. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of data centers is expected to fuel the growth of the silent generator market during the forecast period.

Technological advancements are shaping the landscape of the silent generator market, with major companies in the industry investing in new technologies and research and development. For instance, in 2021, Isuzu Power Solutions (IPS), a Japanese generator company, introduced three models of silent generators with varying power outputs (20 KVA, 37 KVA, and 50 KVA). These models incorporate ultra-quiet sound technology, achieving a noise reduction to 51 decibels, making the smallest generator with 20 KVA quieter than industry standards.

Leading companies in the silent generator market are concentrating on the development of silent hydrogen fuel cell generators to gain a competitive advantage. Silent hydrogen fuel cell generators offer clean and noiseless power generation, suitable for diverse applications ranging from backup electricity to environmentally friendly transportation. For example, PowerUP Energy Technologies, based in Estonia, launched the UP400, a silent hydrogen fuel cell generator, generating 400W of clean energy. This portable and robust generator is designed for use in various industries, including sailing and yachting, campervans or RVs, and off-grid homes, providing a silent and odorless power source.

In September 2021, SimpliPhi Power, a US-based renewable energy and energy storage company, acquired Briggs and Stratton for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enables SimpliPhi Power to expand its business operations and portfolio into different sectors, enhancing its overall profitability. Briggs and Stratton, headquartered in Wisconsin, USA, is a global manufacturer of gasoline engines and generators powered by gasoline.
