North America Gas Engine Market Growth and Recent Trends by 2028

The North America gas engine market is expected to reach US$ 1,469.1 million by 2028 from US$ 861.3 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021–2028.

Governments of various countries are imposing certain regulations to control the emissions of diesel and petrol engines, thus compelling engine manufacturers to opt for alternative fuel solutions such as natural gases. Gas engines release less emissions to generate a sufficient amount of with power high efficiency. The emission monitoring and regulatory bodies from various countries are imposing stringent regulations on the use of diesel engines and generators. To meet these regulatory standards, various industries are deploying gas engine and generators for power generation. Moreover, in December 2020, Rolls-Royce launched MTU Series 500, a new series of gas engines, with a power range of 250–550 kilowatt. The engines are specially designed to meet the emission goals by using hydrogen as a power source, which is offering low fuel costs and low fuel consumption for industrial and utility sectors. Similarly, in June 2020, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., a heavy equipment manufacturer, launched a new model KG-18-T gas engine. The company introduced a two-stage turbocharging system with 51% electrical efficiency for power generation. Thus, the rise in such development’s activities owing to stringent regulations related to gas engines is propelling the North America market’s growth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 2/3rd of the Americans is forced to work remotely. With businesses started to reopen, several companies are still choosing to opt for the WFH strategy and even to reduce their previous capacity for an extended period, which is expected to have negative impact on the gas engines market growth. Also, COVID-19 pandemic is having a huge impact on natural gas consumption and export of LNG gas in the US market. The slowdown of gas demand is further impacting the growth of the market. Moreover, the loss in revenues is expected to restrain several power plants to invest in new gas engines procurement as they are cutting their budgets to moderate the losses.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the gas engine market. The North America gas engine market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
