Summary of the Report

Africa's diesel generator market was valued at USD 5.35 Billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 5.7%) between 2021 and 2028. Datacenter has experienced a rapid growth rate due to the increase in digitalization momentum in the region. To ensure uninterrupted operation, datacenters must have multiple levels of backup power. Even a brief power outage can disrupt the organization's work and cause significant economic losses.

The main growth drivers of the economy in Tanzania are industry and construction. The growing number of public investments in infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, ports expansions and railways has led to a rise in construction. In the country, manufacturing includes textiles, chemicals and beverages as well as leather products, plastics and paper industries.

Ethiopia, which is second in Africa in terms of population after Nigeria, is also the most populous country. It is also one of the fastest growing countries in the region. From 2018-19, the country's real GDP was 9%. The country has a high per capita income, USD 850, due to its large population. Majority of the country's growth was due to the construction and service sectors. The government has taken steps in support of growth in the private sector and to increase the competitiveness small and medium-sized businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a drop in demand for this power range due to limited mining, industrial and construction activity in several African countries. The demand for internet services has grown significantly, with many countries in the region implementing work-from-home models. This has led to an increase in the demand for diesel engines from data centres within this power range.

Power Rating Insights

Africa's largest generator market was led by the 1000-2000kVA power rating segment. It accounted for more than 42.81% of the total revenue in 2020. Data centers, the mining, industrial, construction, and other sectors use the 1000-2000 kVA diesel generator sets. This power rating range is offered by major vendors like Caterpillar, Kohler, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Caterpillar, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Diesel generators are capable of providing continuous power supply over a longer period. End users need diesel generators to keep their operations running smoothly due to frequent outages in African countries like Mali, Ghana, Uganda, Ghana, and Uganda.

These generators can be used in telecommunication towers, small-scale commercial and residential applications like shops and clinics, and up to 100 kVA for diesel generators. End-users have been requesting generators with up to 100 kVA power. This is due to the lack of infrastructure for distribution of electricity in many African countries. These 350-750 kVA diesel generators are used primarily in high-end hospitals, small-scale businesses, and business centres. Due to their critical operation, the 350-750 kVA diesel engines are in high demand. In 2018, African countries like Mali, Ghana, Uganda, Ghana and Ethiopia had experienced an average of 13.6, 9.8, 6.9 and 6.8 power outages each month.

End-use Insights

In 2020, the telecom segment accounted for more than 18.66% of the total market revenue. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply from end-use segments such as manufacturing, construction, telecom, mining and data center, banking, tourism, and other.

To provide continuous or emergency power supply to telecom towers, diesel generators with a range of 45 kVA can be used in the telecom sector. Diesel generators can be used as a backup power source in areas that have access to power. Where there is no power supply, diesel generators are used as continuous power supply options. Because of their low capital cost and availability of fuel in remote areas, diesel generators are commonly used to power telecom towers.

Banks need emergency power generators. Backup power sources can be activated automatically within seconds, which helps to keep systems running. Diesel generators can also be used to supply baseload power to banks in the event of prolonged outages. Due to the critical nature of bank operation, they must install backup power solutions like diesel generators.

Other institutions include schools, colleges, residential and commercial educational institutes, as well as government and commercial institutions like hospitals, shops and shopping malls. These end-users all require backup power supplies in the event of an outage. These end-users have used diesel generators in the past due to their low cost and ease of storage.

Country Insights

South Africa was the dominant market player and held the highest revenue share at 16.86% in 2020. South Africa is a country that has a high level of economic infrastructure and is a well-developed economy. Most of the major African companies are based in South Africa. There are many global manufacturing companies, including Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen as well as General Motors, Daimler-Chrysler and Daimler-Chrysler. The country is a major producer and exporter of natural resources like gold, manganese and platinum as well as diamonds and palladium.

The country's industrial sector is important. It includes consumer goods production, food processing and gold mining. COVID-19 has had a limited impact on Mali's economy. Mali is a net oil importer and has benefited from the sharp fall in crude oil prices. Gold is the country's main export product. Its demand was less affected by the pandemic than oil & gasoline demand.
