Which Drivers underpin Power Rental Industry Expansion?

Increasing Demand for Backup Power Solutions to Fuel the Market Growth

As nations are aggressively preventing themselves off of fossil fuels, the evolution towards renewable energy sources is assembling pace all over the globe, mainly from coal, to meet their energy needs. As a result, investments in renewable technologies have progressively developed in the last few years.

Renewables can sufficiently meet the demand for clean energy globally but an inherent disadvantage of renewables is that they are intermittent. Since energy storage technologies are still in promising stages of development. Thus, backup power solutions are essential for uninterrupted power supply to industries and households.

Power rental services and equipment can fill this gap because they are easy to access, require minimal maintenance, and are cost-effective. This is a major factor that is expected to fuel the growth of the Power Rental Market during the forecast period.

High Usage of Rental Power in the Mining Industry to Accelerate the Market Growth

The mining industry is one of the major end users of rental power. The mining sites are not attached to the grid, they rely on generator sets that have been engaged temporarily. The rental generators are in modest demand in industrial businesses, when there is a requirement for extra power during peak load demand, when the existing power supply system, such as purchased generator sets, has to be sustained, or when there is a brief outage.

As a result, the mining industry with poor grid power supplies is severely reliant on the power rental market. Hence, the mining industry is anticipated to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Which Factors are limiting the Growth of Power Rental Market?

Increased Operational Expenditure of Diesel Generators to Restrain the Market Growth

Diesel generator sets are considered to be one of the most popular backup power solutions for many end-users such as oil & gas, and manufacturing, owing to their quick start-up time, low initial investments, less space requirement, and ease of installation and operation.

However, diesel generator sets entail high operating costs, which is mainly on account of the high cost of fuel. Fuel costs account for over 80% of the total life cycle cost of a diesel generator set. This has made diesel a less cost-efficient solution for backup, especially in view of the drop in solar power prices. This is one of the major factors that is expected to hamper the growth of the power rental market during the forecast period.

Stringent Government Regulations to Limit the Market Growth

Stringent governmental norms have been imposed for diesel fuel globally to reduce emissions and meet environmental regulations. With growing environmental concerns each country has come up with its own set of regulations and policies to reduce air pollution. This is the major factor that is anticipated to restrain the market growth over the analysis period.
