Mining activity, oil & gas projects, infrastructure expansion, and temporary power needs support sustained market growth.
SAN ANTONIO, TX, April 1, 2026 — A new study by Verify Markets finds that the Middle East and Africa Power Rental Market is entering a strong new phase of expansion, supported by persistent grid unreliability, rising demand from mining and oil & gas operations, and continued investment in large-scale infrastructure and industrial development across the region. The report shows the market generated approximately $1.9 billion in revenue in 2025 and is expected to surpass $3.6 billion USD by 2032, with demand shaped by both short-term transactional rentals and larger temporary power projects across key Middle Eastern and African markets.
“The Middle Eastern and African power rental markets are being driven by a unique combination of structural power shortages and large, power intensive projects,” stated Georgina Carraway, Chief Research Officer. “From Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects and Gulf utility pressures to mining operations in Africa and rising industrial demand in Nigeria and Mozambique, end users are increasingly turning to flexible temporary power solutions that can be deployed quickly and scaled efficiently.”
In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia remains the largest and most strategic market, fueled by infrastructure development, oil & gas activity, utility support requirements, and major national development initiatives. The UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait also continue to generate demand through construction, LNG expansion, events, telecom growth, and periodic power supply constraints. Across Africa, the market is being led by Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa, Algeria, and Egypt, where structural power deficits, mining operations, industrial activity, and energy sector investments continue to support the need for rental power.
Among the market’s most important trends are the growing use of hybrid energy systems, the rise of Power-as-a-Service models in Nigeria, the increasing role of Chinese generator manufacturers in Middle Eastern rental fleets, and Saudi Arabia’s shift toward Arabian Light Crude Oil for larger scale rental applications. At the same time, providers continue to navigate challenges such as currency volatility, local content requirements, capital constraints, and the expansion of installed power capacity in some markets.
