Middle East & Africa Gas Engine Market is expected to reach US$ 760.8 Million by 2034

According to The Insight Partners' research, the Middle East and Africa Gas Engine Market was valued at US$ 515.7 Million in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 760.8 Million by 2034, registering a CAGR of 4.4% from 2026 to 2034.

Increasing focus on the development of efficient fuel engines and increasing deployment of microgrid and distributed energy systems are among the critical factors attributed to driving the Middle East & Africa gas engine market growth.

Governments and regulatory authorities across the globe are introducing stringent environmental standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy. As a result, manufacturers are focusing on the development of advanced fuel engines that offer higher efficiency, improved reliability, and lower environmental impact. Efficient fuel engines enable industries to optimize fuel consumption, reduce operating costs, and support sustainability and decarbonization objectives.

In September 2025, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced that it would start sales of large-class gas engines capable of hydrogen 30％ co-firing for the first time in the world. Since October 2024, at its Kobe Works facility, the company has been conducting operational verification of a gas engine power generation system (8MW class) capable of co-firing natural gas mixed with up to 30% hydrogen (by volume) as fuel, with a focus on hydrogen supply, maintainability, and other operational factors. The verification was completed in September 2025.

The Kawasaki Green Gas Engine has received over 240 orders since its first order in 2011 as a high-efficiency gas engine using natural gas in the 5-8MW class. Based on this technological foundation and operational experience, the product has been developed as a hydrogen-ready model capable of utilizing a mixture containing up to 30% hydrogen (by volume) with natural gas or city gas. Such advancements highlight the increasing industry focus on developing engines that support cleaner energy utilization while maintaining high operational efficiency.

The development of advanced fuel engine technologies reflects the industry transition toward cleaner and more efficient energy systems. As organizations prioritize sustainability and energy optimization, the demand for engines capable of delivering higher efficiency while supporting alternative and low-carbon fuels is expected to grow across industrial and power generation applications.

On the contrary, the rapid expansion of renewable energy sources hampers the growth of the Middle East & Africa gas engine market.
