With increased dependency on the redundancy of power sources (for business continuity) the Gensets’ market has seen exponential growth in sales. This can be attributed to many parameters from providing a unique selling proposition, in after-sales services, to innovation-driven growth in the industry. Genset is further expected to have a CAGR of 3.5% in European markets.
Buying a Genset is no easy deal, especially when one must purchase in bulk. The technicalities and specifications, alongside large ticket price and brand name, distinguish one from the other.

Always evolving emission norms, laid down by the local government, forces OEMs to constantly innovate and also get rid of non-compliant systems promptly to avoid loss on unsold inventories.
To better understand which Genset brand and model, offers the best value for money, it’s important to benchmark the product against the market.
