Gas Engine Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Demand for Natural Gas to Favor Gas Engine Market

The demand for gas engines is growing in the power generation industry with novel emission control policies. The industrial sector, including metals, chemicals, and manufacturing industries, is a major contributor to the accelerating demand for gas engines. The generation of natural gas, which is necessary for the operation of gas engines, is rising at a substantial rate. Major applications such as electricity generation, heating, and vehicle functioning is strengthening the requirement for natural gas engines. Hence, to offer a resolution for sudden power outages, the utility service companies are utilizing gas generators to manage peak loads. Thus, the constant surge in demand from developing and developed countries is one of the key factors driving gas engine market growth.

Rising Adoption of Gas Engines in Developing Nations– An Opportunity in the Gas Engine Market

The increase in population and the lack of supporting infrastructure for electric technologies are the major factors supporting the gas engine market. Electric devices, electric motors, solar plants, and wind projects are more costly than gas engines, which is compelling the preference of various nations toward gas engines as an environment-friendly alternatie. Further, developments in the emission standards for diesel engines for which various end-use industries are shifting to gas engines for low emissions. Emerging nations are effectively inclining towards adopting natural gas for power generation. Thus, the growing popularity of natural gas is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the gas engine market.
