Global Generator Market in the Healthcare Sector to Grow 1.7% by 2020 - Rising Popularity of Gas Generators - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, October 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Generator Market in the Healthcare Sector 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global generator market in the healthcare sector to grow at a CAGR of 1.7% during the period 2016-2020.

Diesel as a fuel type dominates the overall generator market. For several decades, the generators, especially those used in the industrial sector, have been resorting to diesel as the most preferred fuel type, due to its lower cost and easy availability. However, there is a growing trend toward the use of natural gas and other alternative environment-friendly, non-diesel fuel sources. Despite this fact, diesel will continue to lead the fuel type segment for many years to come. Diesel generators will account for about 65%-70% of the market by the end of 2020.

According to the report, rising popularity of gas generators will be a key driver for market growth. Diesel generators produce more noise than gas generators and are not suitable for use in many residential and commercial applications. Thus, many large end-users have started adopting gas generators, which has led to an upsurge in the production of gas-powered generators due to technologies such as drilling and fracking. End-users opt for gas generators as the work of filling a generator with diesel during a power outage is minimized.

Further, the report states that increasing awareness of emission regulations has impacted diesel generator manufacturers significantly. These manufacturers are now facing a key challenge to developing generators that have high-performance levels as well as meet the required compliance with strict legislations on emissions. The challenge lies in the reduction of NOx at the source itself to avoid further cost-intensive measures.
