The global distributed power generation market size is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising trend of renewable energy in electric power distribution system.
Distributed power generation is a replacement to traditional power infrastructure. It is connected to electricity distribution lines to deliver clean, reliable power to customer and reduce electricity losses during transmission and distribution. As economic development excel the distribution of electricity supply, usage of small scale technologies to distributed energy is cost-effective. It is also known as decentralized generation.
The COVID-19 outbreak had reduced the electricity consumption in first half of 2020. The relaxation in restriction owing to acceleration in vaccination drive has positively influence the market growth.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Innovations in techniques to distribute power is anticipated to spur the growth of the market.
- The cost of distributed power generation is low as compared to the conventional power generation methods, which is estimated to propel the market growth.
- Increasing demand for green energy due to increasing population across the globe is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
- Increasing commercialization and industrialization in low- and middle-level income countries is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities to industry players during the projected timeline.

Distributed Power Generation Market Segment Insights
Diesel gensets segment to hold a significant market share
In terms of technology, the market is segregated into diesel gensets, microgrids, solar PV, natural gas gensets, and others. Diesel is used as fuel to power the engine in diesel gensets. The diesel gensets segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during forecast period. Diesel gensets serve as a reliable secondary power source, primary power sources, and standby power source for residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the world. Diesel gensets are most reliable, important, and least expensive power generation system in the world. Diesel is costlier as compared to gas; however, it has high energy density, and more amount of energy can be withdrawn from the same amount of fuel. Diesel is less flammable as compared to other fuel, which means it is safer to handle and store. The easy way of transportation and storage of diesel has made diesel gensets more preferable than gas gensets. Using diesel gensets to distributed power generation have ability of fulfill the demand for commercial, industrial and residential during the power cut.
The solar PV segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing solar power generation capacity in emerging economies and rising investment of government state bodies in green energy are driving the growth of the market segment. Moreover, decreasing cost of solar PV panels due to advancement in manufacturing process is estimated to fuel the segment growth.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to constitute a key market share
Based on regions, the market is segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. . Asia Pacific is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period due to increasing energy demand in countries such as China, India, and ASEAN member states. Rapid growth of the manufacturing sector has increased the demand for uninterrupted power. Progression in technologies, strong government support, and awareness regarding the carbon emission are some of the key drivers of the regional market growth.
