US Diesel Generator Market Size Likely to Grow at a CAGR of 6.72% By 2034

Market Size and Growth

As per the US Diesel Generator Market size analysis conducted by the CMI Team, the US Diesel Generator Market was valued at USD 7.01 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 12.6 Billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 6.72% during the forecast period 2025-2034.

Overview

According to an industry expert at CMI, the U.S. Diesel Generator Market continued growth due to the increasing industrial activity, growing demand for uninterrupted power supply, and increasing urbanisation and industrialization, which are mainly boosting the market growth.

Key Trends & Drivers

• Rapidly Expanding Residential and Commercial Construction Industry: The rapidly increasing construction activities across the US due to increasing investment in the residential and commercial construction projects are expected to drive the demand for the Diesel Generator during the forecast period. The residential and commercial construction industry is growing significantly due to growing urbanization, population growth, and economic development. This growth is creating a surge in demand for new housing, commercial spaces, and infrastructure development, thereby driving the demand for the Diesel Generator during the forecast period. For instance, the U.S. construction industry was valued at approximately USD 2.1 trillion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.89% during the forecast period of 2026 to 2034. Thus, such factors are expected to propel the demand for the Diesel Generator during the forecast period.

• Increasing Urbanization and Population boosting the demand for Power Supply: The increasing urbanization and urban population in the U.S. are expected to drive the demand for infrastructure development, thereby driving the demand for the Diesel Generator during the forecast period. For instance, as of now 83% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas, up from 64% in 1950. Furthermore, by 2050, 89% of the U.S. population is expected to live in the urban areas, thereby driving the demand for infrastructure development. The growing industries and economic opportunities are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

• Growing Demand for Uninterrupted Power Supply: The increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply in the U.S. due to the growing incidences of power outages and increasing demand for consistent power supply in the industrial areas to avoid work disturbances is expected to drive the demand for diesel generators across the U.S. For instance, in September 2022, Hurricane Ian left over 2.6 million customers in Florida without power, some for over two weeks. In November 2022, Hurricane Nicole left over 300,000 customers in Florida without power. Thus, such incidences are expected to drive the demand for uninterrupted power supply, thereby driving the demand for diesel generators.
