Latin American Genset Market Predicted to Recover in 2019

A new analysis by Verify Markets shows the Latin American Genset Market was valued at $652.5 million in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2018 to 2025. This sound growth reflects the fact that gensets remains an excellent means of power generation, and despite the emphasis being placed on alternate forms of energy, will continue to be the first choice of end users during the forecast period. Predicted moderate economic performance of most countries in the region and Brazil’s economic recovery are expected to be the major drivers for this market.

Additionally, rapid population and urbanization, lack of long-term investment in energy infrastructure to meet the increasing energy demand, aging power infrastructure, and high dependency on hydropower is raising the demand for gensets, particularly for standby applications. "Stand by applications are likely to increase their share of the market, driven by the demand for standby power from the rapidly growing data center sector and other mission critical facilities who require a constant supply of power,” states Verify Markets’ Senior Consultant Georgina Carraway.

Among the three main countries analyzed in this report (Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico), Mexico is expected to experience the highest growth rates, driven mainly by increasing investment in infrastructure and new opportunities in the industrial and oil and gas segments.

There are some challenges genset companies must overcome in the short and medium-term. New investments in power infrastructure, especially on renewable energy technologies, will see gensets utilized more as emergency or backup power applications in the longer term, while the need for prime power is expected to reduce. Additionally, there is increased competition from low-cost Asian manufacturers and other European companies that are entering the market. "Competition from low-cost Chinese manufacturers is disrupting the market. In some countries, Chinese companies hold more than a third of the market share,” states Carraway. Finally, lower oil and gas prices, restrictive monetary policies, and the Argentinean recession are projected to affect generators sales.
