The global mobile power plant market accounted to US$ 1.62 Bn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period 2019 - 2027 to account to US$ 4.05 Bn by 2027.
Electricity is one of the fastest growing source of energy worldwide, and during the forecast period, it is expected to dominate the overall energy demand. The power industry is attracting more investments as compared oil and gas due to factors such as power infrastructure development, up gradation of aging infrastructure, changing energy requirement, clean energy initiatives, and urbanization.
The increasing demand for electricity in remote areas, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries is driving the mobile power plant market. However, complexities such as transporting, handling, and operating these systems in remote areas along with fuel scarcity are some of the factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the mobile power plant. In spite of these hindrances, growing investments in the power sector of various countries are anticipated to provide ample opportunities for the market players operating in the market.
Geographically, Middle-East and Africa (MEA) hold the majority revenue share of the mobile power plant market followed by Asia-Pacific and North America. The fast growth of mobile power plant market is expected to be in Asia-Pacific, which is primarily driven by the growing demand of such plants in oil & gas, emergency power, and remote area electrification applications. Other developing regions in MEA and South America are anticipated to offer significant growth opportunities for mobile power plant market in the coming years; this is majorly attributed to the supportive government initiatives to boost industrialization and power sector in these regions.
The mobile power plant market is segmented based on fuel type and application segments. Based on fuel type, the mobile power plant market is segmented into natural gas, diesel, and others. Based on application, the mobile power plant market is bifurcated into oil & gas, emergency power, and remote area electrification. Geographically, the mobile power plant market is divided into five regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
