GAS ENGINE MARKET TRENDS:

Rapid Industrialization

One of the primary factors driving the demand for gas engines is the rapid pace of industrialization worldwide. As developing countries seek to modernize, their energy requirements are surging. Gas engines, known for their reliability and efficiency, are often the go-to solution for power generation in industrial settings. They offer a robust and flexible way to meet fluctuating energy needs. Moreover, gas engines can run on a variety of fuels, including natural gas, making them a versatile choice for diverse industries, such as manufacturing, petrochemicals, and textiles. According to a report by the US Energy Information Administration, the total electricity consumption in the United States in 2022 was about 4.07 trillion kWh, an increase of 2.6% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, it is forecasted that the energy consumption will experience a 2% increase in 2024 from 2023, with the highest consumption anticipated from the residential sector with a 4% rise.

Rise in Environmental Concerns

With the growing awareness about climate change, there is an increase in the shift towards cleaner energy options. According to IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report on the Physical Basis of Climate Change, burning fossil fuels add about 11 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere each year. Similarly, another data provided by the 2023 Global Climate Report from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, stated that the combined ocean and land temperature increases at an average rate of 0.20 degree Celsius per decade. Moreover, every month of 2023 ranked among the 7 warmest for that month with global temperatures for July, August, and September reaching 1.0 degree Celsius above the long-term average. Gas engines emit fewer greenhouse gases as compared to traditional coal-fired or oil-based power generation systems. This makes them a more environment friendly choice for meeting energy needs. The adoption of strict emission regulations by governments worldwide further pushes industries and power plants toward gas engines, boosting their demand.

Growing Energy Security

Dependence on a single source or type of energy can pose risks to a country's energy security. Gas engines offer an alternative to diversify the energy mix, which reduces reliance on imported oil or centralized power grids. Natural gas is abundant and can be sourced domestically or regionally, which contributes to energy security and stability. This has led to increased investment in gas engine technologies, thereby further driving demand. According to the Global Energy Monitor, over 748 gigawatts (GW) of natural gas power plants are in pre- and construction phases, costing around US$ 601 billion in capital expenditure. For instance, in November 2022, Wartsila received an order for two 34SG gas engines by the Tamilnadu Petroproducts Limited (TPL) for 15.5 MW captive power plant in Chennai, India.

GAS ENGINE MARKET SEGMENTATION:

Breakup by Fuel Type:

• Natural Gas

Natural gas dominates the market

Natural gas is one of the commonly used fuels for gas engines. Composed primarily of methane, it is a naturally occurring fossil fuel that is extracted from underground reserves. Natural gas engines are known for their efficiency and reduced emissions as compared to engines running on gasoline or diesel. According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, as of 2023, India's share of natural gas in energy basket is 6.7%. The government has set a target to raise the share of natural gas in energy mix to 15% in 2030. Such policy-level initiatives are likely to boost the natural gas sector.

Breakup by Power Output:

• 0.5-1 MW
• 1-2 MW
• 2-5 MW
• 5-10 MW
• 10-20 MW

1-2 MW holds the largest share in the market

Engines with a power output of 1-2 MW are used in applications that require a moderate amount of power. These are commonly found in medium-sized manufacturing facilities, large commercial buildings, and small-scale power plants. They are versatile and can be used either as the main power source or as a backup.

Breakup by Application:

• Mechanical Drive
• Power Generation
• Cogeneration
• Others

Power generation dominates the market

One of the most common applications of gas engines is in power generation. These engines are used to generate electricity, either as the main power source or as backup generators for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential areas. For instance, in October 2021, Briggs & Stratton launched Vanguard 400 series engines designed to deliver dependable power for various commercial and industrial equipment. In another example, in April 2021, Northern Tool + Equipment Co., a US-based tool retail company, acquired Jack's Small Engines, a family-owned small engine parts and outdoor power equipment parts company. This acquisition enhances Northern Tool + Equipment Co. 's capabilities in tools, equipment, engines, and maintenance services, consolidating its position in the market.
