The small internal combustion engine (ICE) market was valued at US$ 4,450.14 million in 2019 and it is projected to reach US$ 5,280.83 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2020 to 2027.
The global small internal combustion engine market has been segmented into five major regions North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. In 2019, The North America region had strong penetration of small internal combustion engines in power generation, agricultural, manufacturing, and lawn and gardening machinery applications. Also, the small internal combustion engine market in Asia is witnessing a massive growth due to increased adoption of power generators and transportation vehicles. In developing countries, such as India and China, market is driven by growing population and increasing need for sufficient energy sources. Therefore, there is a rise in adoption of small internal combustion engines to generate electricity and power for machineries. China is one of the major countries, which has a significant share in the small internal combustion engine market. Rising consumption of two-wheelers and three-wheelers, having gasoline and diesel engines is mounting the market growth. European countries, such as the UK, Italy, and France, are shifting toward clean energy sources, fuel-efficient small engines, and natural gases, which is driving the market.
In North America, the US is the most developed country. As the US is an early adopter of technologies, the adoption rate of lawn and gardening machinery, gensets, industrial machinery, diesel pumps, and other power equipment is higher in the US compared to other North American countries. This factor encourages small internal combustion engine providers to increase their focus on developing small IC engines for a wide range of applications.
