The rapid pace of industrialization is fueling the growth of the power rental market. Rapid industrialization signifies a swift transition of an economy from an agriculture-based focus to one centered on manufacturing. This transformation has led to advancements across various sectors, including information technology, manufacturing, and construction, all of which necessitate a continuous supply of power to operate effectively. For instance, in July 2023, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government statistical agency, reported a 0.2% increase in industrial output in the European area, with a 0.1% rise noted in the European Union from May to April 2023. Consequently, the demand for power rental services is expected to increase alongside the ongoing rapid industrialization and heightened investment in infrastructure development in major developing nations.

The power rentals market is expected to experience growth driven by the expanding construction industry. Construction involves the process of creating or assembling infrastructure, buildings, and other structures. Power rentals in the construction sector offer temporary and scalable power solutions, ensuring an uninterrupted energy supply for construction sites and equipment, thereby enhancing project efficiency and productivity. As of December 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, construction spending reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.02 trillion, marking a 0.6% (±1%) increase from the revised September estimate of $2.01 trillion. The October figure also reflects a 10.7% (±1.6%) rise compared to October 2022's estimate of $1.83 trillion. With construction spending in the first ten months of the year totaling $1.64 trillion, a 5.6% (±1.2%) increase from the same period in 2022, the growing construction industry emerges as a significant driver for the power rentals market.
