Growing Urban Population Propelling Portable Generator Market Growth

The rising urban population in the country is leading to an increase in per capita electricity consumption, thereby propelling the growth of Italy portable generator market. According to the World Bank, the country's urban population accounted for 72% of Italy's total population in 2023. The share is expected to increase in the coming years, raising the demand for uninterrupted electricity supply, and further propelling market growth.

Frequent Instances of Power Outages Fuelling Portable Generator Demand Growth

Increased energy consumption for cooling and frequent storms often results in city blackouts within Italy raising the requirement for an efficient alternative power backup source. This has raised the demand for portable generators across Italy's residential, commercial, and industrial settings. As Italy continues to battle power outages throughout the forecast period, the demand for portable generators will continue to peak.

Sustainability Concerns Raising Demand for Eco-Friendly Portable Generators

Growing concerns about environmental sustainability are increasing the demand for renewable-energy-based portable generators, powered by solar, wind, and biofuel sources. �Key players are investing in this domain eyeing future growth in the market. For instance, EcoFlow Europe, a major supplier of eco-friendly portable generators in Italy has developed a highly efficient and low-power-consuming range of solar generators ideal for meeting the growing electricity demand of the Italian population.

Preference for Dual Fuel Generators Increasing the Italy Portable Generator Market Revenue

Dual fuel generators are highly preferred by buyers owing to the flexible and economical power consumption they offer. Major brands such as Ecoflow and Generac have introduced efficient dual-fuel generators aiming for an increase in their revenue growth. For instance, the newly launched Generac GP7500E Dual Fuel portable generator which easily switches from gasoline to liquid propane fuel with just the turn of a dial has witnessed immense success in Italy since its launch through Pramac which was acquired by Generac a few years ago.
