Market Overview
The Vietnam diesel generator set market size stood at around $109 million approx. in 2021, and it will grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during 2021–2030, to reach $150 million approx. by 2030. In Southeast Asia, Vietnam is rapidly becoming one of the important genset markets. Vietnam's market for diesel gensets is expected to be driven by the construction of SEZs; government infrastructure initiatives such as metro trains, smart cities, and state and national roads; and increased power consumption.
Also, the country is witnessing rapid urbanization, mainly due to the expanding industrial and construction sectors. According to the World Bank, the urban population of the country increased from 30.4% of the total in 2010 to 37.3% in 2020. To fulfill the rising demand for power, the usage of diesel gensets is continuously increasing in the nation.
Furthermore, electricity is the key to the economic progress of a nation, but Vietnam lacks a proper grid infrastructure, due to which there is an inadequate power supply that hampers operations of residential and commercial spaces. Thus, the demand for generators is increasing, to provide a continuous power supply during a blackout and ensure continuous electricity supply for several applications.
Moreover, according to a news article published in NhanDan, in October 2021, the Vietnamese government aims to raise the total housing space to 27 square meters per person by 2025 and 30 square meters by 2030, under a strategy of the Ministry of Construction (MOC). Also, in the next 10 years, the government will focus on smart and green homes, redevelopment of old apartment buildings, and housing development associated with urban development. In addition, the policies cover the development of houses for low-income earners and workers in urban areas. Thus, the surging number of residential units, driven by government initiatives, will result in the rising sales of diesel gensets to meet the backup power demand.
Demand for 5–75 kVA Generators To Grow at Highest Pace
The 5–75 kVA category is projected to witness the highest CAGR, of 4.2%, during 2021–2030, to generate a revenue of $ 26.6 million in 2030, based on power rating. The demand for these generators primarily arises for applications in the residential and commercial sectors, and the increase in concerns about power instability in the residential sector as a result of natural disasters.
Industrial Sector Accounted for Largest Market Share
The industrial sector in Vietnam held the largest market share in 2021, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2030. Vietnam is a desirable industrial hub because of its relatively big and educated workforce. In addition, the Vietnamese government supports businesses that provide raw materials, spare parts, and components to sectors such as electronics, apparel and textile, leather and footwear, IT, and automotive. Thus, due to the surging need for power in the growing industrial sector, the demand for generator sets is rising.
Growing Manufacturing Sector in the Country Is Driving the Market
Because of the manufacturing sector's phenomenal performance and expansion, Vietnam's economy has remained robust. In actuality, the domestic manufacturing sector accounted for over 25% of Vietnam's overall GDP in 2021. With a number of airports, rail connections, seaports, and direct highway networks linking Vietnam, the country's geographic position is a big asset for luring investments in the manufacturing sector. As this sector is growing, the requirement for electricity is increasing. Due to this, the demand for diesel generator sets is rising in the country, to meet the power requirement during the time of power outage or where there is no availability of grid electricity.
