Diesel Power Engine Market Report 2026

The diesel power engine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.58 billion in 2025 to $9.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of industrial power generation demand, growth in construction and mining activities, rising use of diesel engines in standby power systems, availability of robust engine manufacturing technologies, increasing adoption in off-road applications.

The diesel power engine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in cleaner diesel technologies, rising demand for hybrid power generation systems, expansion of infrastructure development projects, growing focus on fuel efficiency optimization, increasing adoption of advanced engine monitoring systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-efficiency diesel engines, rising integration of advanced emission control systems, growing demand for heavy-duty power generation engines, expansion of modular and scalable engine designs, enhanced focus on engine durability and lifecycle performance.

The expansion of the marine industry is expected to drive the growth of the diesel power engine market going forward. The marine industry encompasses all activities related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of vessels and structures used on or in water. Its growth is fueled by increasing global trade, offshore oil and gas exploration, rising demand for seafood, expanding marine tourism, and the development of offshore renewable energy projects. Diesel power engines support the marine industry by providing reliable and efficient propulsion for ships and vessels, enabling long-distance travel, handling heavy cargo transport, and powering essential onboard systems across various marine applications. For instance, in September 2025, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), an Australia-based marine research agency, reported that the marine industry contributed $203 billion to the economy, representing 9.1% of Australia’s GDP. Therefore, the expansion of the marine industry is propelling the growth of the diesel power engine market.

Major companies in the diesel power engine market are embracing digital solutions such as predictive models to enhance maintenance planning, aiming for optimal performance and reduced downtime. Predictive models utilize statistical or machine learning techniques, leveraging historical data to forecast future outcomes. For instance, in August 2023, Cummins Inc., a US-based engine manufacturer, introduced an innovative predictive model for its X15 heavy-duty engine. This technology warns owners in advance when a diesel particulate filter (DPF) differential pressure (DP) sensor is at risk of failure. Customers receive predictive alerts up to 90 days before potential sensor failure, enabling proactive scheduling of replacements to avoid downtime. Predictive alerts are communicated via email through PrevenTech or accessed using Cummins' genuine service tools such as Guidanz Mobile and INSITE. This technology will provide customers with predictive insights, empowering them to proactively schedule sensor replacements, ultimately reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.

In October 2023, DEUTZ AG, a Germany-based internal combustion engine manufacturer, acquired Diesel Motor Nordic Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is anticipated to help DEUTZ AG increase revenue, expand its global footprint, improve its service operations, and strengthen its position in the dynamic diesel engine market. Diesel Motor Nordic Group, based in Sweden, specializes in diesel engine manufacturing.
