On account of growing frequency of power grid failures, an increase in the adoption of portable generators has been observed across the globe. Other factors like rapid urbanisation, mounting population and increasing industrialisation in developing economies are also contributing towards the augmented demand for portable generators. Moreover, as electrical appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, communication equipment, etc. have become an indispensable part, the residential users are increasingly using portable generators owing to the safety as well as mobility of the appliances. Apart from this, portable generators are also used in the construction industry for operating power tools such as saws, drills, air compressors and paint prayers. Overall development in the construction sector in the near future is expected to create a positive impact on the portable generator market. As a result, the market value is projected to reach US$ 6 Billion by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of around 7% during 2018-2023.
