Africa Diesel Genset Market Size & Growth Rate

The Africa Diesel Genset Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2023–2029. This growth is driven by the region's ongoing infrastructure development and the persistent issue of unreliable electricity access across many African nations.

Africa Diesel Genset Market Synopsis

The Africa Diesel Genset Market is majorly driven by the need for reliable backup power solutions to deal with the frequent power outages that many parts of Africa experience such as just 48% of Ethiopia’s 115 million people had access to electricity and in DRC only 19% of the 108 million people have access to electricity – about 41% in urban areas and 1% in rural areas, in such cases diesel gensets become a crucial power source to sustain and to provide stable and reliable power solution. In addition, diesel gensets tend to have a lower upfront cost compared to other options, making them more affordable for African businesses and consumers. In 2020, the diesel genset market in Africa experienced a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing economic shutdowns and temporary halts in major operations to control the virus spread. However, infrastructure development and housing projects in Africa including Mesob tower development with US $681m projects in Ethiopia, Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 2023 in Senegal, Banana Port 2025 in DRC and others are expected to contribute to the country's infrastructure growth and lead to increased usage of diesel gensets.

According to 6Wresearch, Africa Diesel Genset Market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2023-2029. The diesel genset market in the key countries is witnessing significant growth, primarily driven by the ongoing infrastructure development projects like Felix Houphouet-Boigny Airport Expansion in Ivory Coast, the Nachtigal Hydropower Project in Cameroon, and the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor. These developments across transportation, commercial complexes, and various sectors are poised to significantly raise power demand, resulting in a notable increase in the adoption of diesel gensets throughout the region to meet the growing need for reliable power supply.

Market by kVA Rating

The 5-30 kVA rating diesel garnered maximum revenue share and volume share in 2022, and the same trend is expected in the coming years on account of rising demand in the commercial sector, small manufacturing facilities, offices, malls and hotels. Small and medium-scale manufacturing units are one of the key end-users for the 5-30 kVA and 30.1-75 kVA rated diesel gensets in Africa. Moreover, demand generation in the market is also attributed by hotels, malls, hospitals, industrial parks, and the service sector as backup power sources. Additionally, a positive infrastructural and construction outlook due to upcoming projects would further boost the diesel genset market in coming years.

Market by Application

On the basis of application, transportation and infrastructure segment dominated the market. The same segment will dominate the market in the years to come.

Market by Countries

Ethiopia has emerged as the highest revenue shareholder in the market, owing to its major deployment as power backup systems in the residential and commercial sectors. Moreover, the construction of Kilinto Industrial Park, Airline and logistics Park 4 as well as the expansion of Largest Airport in Ethiopia is expected to drive the demand for diesel genset market in the coming years.
