The global gas engine market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.12%, from 2017 to 2022, to reach a projected USD 4.76 Billion by 2022. The growth will be mainly driven by an increase in the demand for clean power generation across globe.

The report segments the gas engine market, on the basis of fuel type, into natural gas, special gas, which includes biogas, landfill gas & sewage gas, and others, which includes producer gas, coal mine gas, wood gas & propane gas.  The natural gas segment led the gas engine market, by fuel type, and is used in base load power generation and CHP (combined heat and power) applications. Natural gas fueled gas engines are mainly used for the power generation application by utilities and manufacturing facilities. The gas engines ranging between 5 MW–20 MW mostly utilizes natural gas. The special gas segment is also the fastest growing market due to increased adaptation of biogas and landfill gas in power generation application. Countries around the world are offering subsidies for the biogas and landfill run power plants.

The global gas engine market, by application, is segmented into power generation, co-generation, mechanical drive, and others which include tri-generation, quad-generation, and greenhouse. Power generation is leading the global gas engine market and trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, public buildings, and utilities are mainly deploys gas engine for power generation application. The gas engines are suitable for base load, grid support, combined cycle, peak shaving, and distributed power generation applications. The market for gas engine for power generation is mainly driven by the growing demand for global power requirement, especially in regions such as Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. Co-generation application segment is expected to grow at high CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of co-generation application is mainly attributed to the increasing installed capacity of gas fueled CHP power plants in cold climate countries.

The report further segments gas engine market, by end user into Utilities, manufacturing, oil & gas, and others which include commercial complex, hospitals, wastewater treatment plants and greenhouse. The utilities segment is leading the gas engine market. Utilities mainly deploys the gas engines for the base load and peak load power generation. Falling natural gas prices and improved natural gas distribution network are driving the growth of the utilities segment.

The report segments the gas engine market by power output into 0.5 MW–1 MW, 1 MW–2 MW, 2 MW–5 MW, 5 MW–10 MW, and 10 MW–20 MW. The 1 MW-2 MW gas engines market held the major market share in 2016. The growth of 1 MW–2 MW gas engines market mainly attributed to increasing demand of continuous power from small to mid-range manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings, and hospitals. These engines are can be run on various gases fuel such as natural gas, biogas, special gas, and landfill gas. Cost effectiveness and option for multiple fuel is the main driver for the growth of 1 MW– 2 MW gas engines market. The 0.5 MW–1 MW gas engines are mainly used for the emergency or standby power application. These engines also find its application in the oil & gas industry as prime mover for compressors and pumps.

The European market is the largest, by size, and is estimated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Due to stringent environmental norms and low natural gas price, the European market for gas engine is expected to dominate global gas engine market during the forecast period.

The major factor restraining the growth of the gas engine market is inconsistent availability and supply of natural gas in global market. The power generation sector is an energy-intensive sector and energy costs contribute to nearly a third of the manufacturing costs. A majority of the gas engine manufacturers rely on global power generation demand and the high volatility in natural gas prices has become a major restraining factor affecting the growth of the gas engine market.

The market is dominated by a few international players such as, General Electric Company (U.S.), Caterpillar Inc. (U.S.), Wärtsilä Corporation (Finland), Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (U.K.), Cummins Inc. (U.S.) that hold a major share of the global gas engine market.
