Black Start Generator Market Analysis - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends and Forecast 2020 - 2027

The market for black start generator is expected to grow at a significant pace during the estimated period from 2020 to 2027.

Black Start Generator is a power generation unit that provides the initial power back up to the industry applications without depending on any external electric source. These generators have a minimum power output of generally 20 MW and provide a fast start-up to the primary turbine generators. Additionally, these are widely used in power plants including hydro, thermal, and nuclear plants. This generator helps in the survival of the industrial power plants at the time of complete blackout due to some natural disaster or technical issue. The properties of this generator include easy fuel sourcing, longer life span, and low emissions.

Market Dynamics

The increasing construction and demand for new power plants worldwide, owing to factors like high electricity demand, growing population rising urbanization, and industrialization is supporting the regional market growth. The growing manufacturing sector and construction & reconstruction of power plants due to retiring by regulatory bodies are supporting the market growth. The increasing number of regulatory bodies across the globe and increasing applications and competitive market of black start generators in the oil & gas industry is further bolstering the market value. Additionally, the features associated with the black start generator such as low running cost, quick response, easy fuel sourcing, and longer life are boosting the growth. In addition, new industrial favorable policies set up by the government of some emerging economies are projected to create potential opportunities throughout the forecast period.

On the other side, black start generators have some technical requirements and need proper maintenance for efficient work, as well as low power distribution infrastructure and certain stringent government regulatory policies are some underdeveloped and developing economies are factors projected to hinder the growth to an extent over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.

Segment Instance

The black start generator market is segmented on the basis of engine type, end-use industry, and geography. Based on engine type, market segments include diesel, gas, and hybrid. By the end-use industry, the market is bifurcated into the power generation industry, hydro, thermal, nuclear, oil & gas industry, manufacturing industry, healthcare, and IT industry. By geography, the market is divided across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
