Natural Gas Generator Market Report 2025

The natural gas generator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.13 billion in 2024 to $8.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing emphasis on clean energy, energy security and reliability, shale gas boom, stringent emission regulations, demand for distributed power generation.

The natural gas generator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to transition to renewable natural gas (RNG), integration with renewable energy, rising demand for microgrid solutions, government incentives for clean energy, grid resilience and energy security. Major trends in the forecast period include hybrid systems integration, microgrid adoption, emission reduction technologies, digitalization and smart controls, distributed power generation.

The anticipated growth of the natural gas generator market is expected to be fueled by the rising production of natural gas in the coming years. Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane (CH4), along with small quantities of other hydrocarbons, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and various gases. Natural gas generators enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of natural gas production by supplying on-site power for essential operations throughout the production and processing stages. For example, the Energy Information Administration, a government agency in the US, reported in September 2024 that domestic dry natural gas production reached 37.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2023, averaging 103.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). This figure represents a 4.3% increase compared to the 2022 level of 99.3 Bcf/d. As a result, the rising production of natural gas is driving the growth of the natural gas generator market.

The increasing production of natural gas is poised to fuel the growth of the natural gas generator market. As a significant fossil fuel primarily comprising methane, natural gas generators play a pivotal role in bolstering the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of natural gas production processes. Notably, in December 2022, US dry natural gas production surpassed pre-pandemic records, exceeding 100 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in consecutive months, signifying the pivotal role of rising natural gas production in driving the natural gas generator market.

Investments emerge as a key trend shaping the landscape of the natural gas generators market. Major companies are channeling investments into technological advancements and assets within this sector to expand market reach. For instance, Cummins Inc., in February 2023, made significant investments in 175kW and 200kW natural gas standby generator sets, offering advanced features and compliance standards. Additionally, in May 2022, the National Pension Service and the Korean Teachers' Credit Union invested $390 million in Calpine Corp., highlighting the substantial financial interests in natural gas generator manufacturers.

Strategic partnerships play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of mobile natural gas generator sets within the industry. Companies are leveraging these partnerships to maximize strengths and resources for mutual benefits and progress. For instance, Mesa Solutions and Alterra Power Systems entered a partnership in September 2023, aiming to revolutionize power generation and electrical services. This collaboration underscores their commitment to offering clients innovative and comprehensive power solutions, leveraging their collective expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction. Alterra Power Systems specializes in natural gas power generation systems, amplifying the strategic emphasis on partnership-driven advancements within the natural gas generator sector.

A natural gas generator operates by using natural gas instead of petrol or diesel to generate electricity through a combustion process involving a mixture of fuel and air.

The primary types of natural gas generators include standby and prime models. Standby generators serve as backup power sources, ensuring continuous electricity supply to businesses, commercial and industrial applications, or facilities during power outages. They come in various power ratings such as low, medium, and high in both single-phase and three-phase configurations, constructed using materials such as aluminum, composite, or steel. These generators cater to the needs of industrial, commercial, and residential end-users.
