Market Momentum (YoY Path)

The market experienced a high valuation until early 2020, followed by a period of stunted demand due to a sluggish automotive sector and the impacts of COVID-19. Fact.MR projects a strengthening growth path throughout the decade. This expansion is supported by continued reliance on conventional resources for power and industrial sectors, with the valuation set to reach USD 9.9 billion by 2035.

Why the Market is Growing

The market is expanding due to a heightened focus on environmental sustainability and the rising demand for distributed power generation. Gas engines offer significant advantages over traditional fossil fuel engines by mitigating pollutant emissions and reducing operational costs. Furthermore, the rapid growth of renewable energy-which accounts for nearly half of the growth in global energy supplies-positions gas engines as a critical bridge for grid support and baseload applications.

Segment Spotlight

1) Product Type (Fuel Applications)

Natural gas engine technologies are at the forefront of the market due to their lower emission levels. Beyond standard natural gas, engines running on biogas and landfill gas are gaining traction as industries look to substitute conventional fuels to address energy demand and environmental concerns.

2) Distribution and Installation

Strategic partnerships are driving localized growth. For example, the installation of Innio Jenbacher J320 engines in manufacturing facilities (such as the Douala pasta factory) highlights the move toward reliable, onsite power. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects are increasingly being deployed in phases to optimize industrial energy efficiency.

3) End Use (Industry Dynamics)

While power plants and cogeneration drive volume, the marine industry is witnessing a surge in demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) engines for trade and exploration vessels. The automotive sector, particularly in developing nations, is also contributing through a growing penetration of CNG-powered vehicles.

Drivers, Opportunities, Trends, Challenges

Drivers: The primary growth driver is the increasing demand for electricity, which rose by 4% in 2018-twice as fast as overall energy demand. This necessity propels the need for gas-engine-fueled electric generators.

Opportunities:

Acquisitions and medium-speed gas engine business sales (such as TMH International's acquisition of Bergen Engines) are creating a more integrated global service network, allowing manufacturers to expand their market share through a broader reach.

Trends:

There is a clear trend toward decentralization and the use of alternative fuels. Manufacturers are making significant efforts to comply with stringent emission regulations by designing engines that release fewer pollutants while maintaining high energy density.

Challenges:

Regional price differences and inconsistent availability of gaseous fuels remain prominent hurdles. These supply chain inconsistencies can hamper overall market growth in certain price-sensitive or infrastructure-limited regions.

Country Growth Outlook (CAGR)

China- 6.0%
France- 5.9%
Germany- 5.7% s
U.S.- 5.1%

Competitive Landscape:

The market is fragmented, with prominent manufacturers actively launching energy-efficient models to comply with global regulations. Key players include Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., General Electric, Wartsila, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Competition is fueled by technological innovation in engine design and strategic acquisitions that allow companies to gain design capabilities and global service footprints.
