In 2021, the Democratic Republic of the Congo diesel generator set market contributes $46.4 million, and it is projected to generate $62.1 million in 2030, rising at a rate of 3.3%

In addition, it holds the third-significant urban population in the sub-Saharan Africa region, after South Africa and Nigeria. Around 1 million people migrate to cities every year, due to the increasing requirement for standalone and backup power sources majorly in residential buildings, hospitals, retail stores, and hotels. Moreover, generators are massively utilized in manufacturing, oil gas, construction, and power applications.

Moreover, infrastructure development is crucial for the government, and they are increasingly investing in the airport, transportation, and telecom infrastructure, and it is projected to drive Democratic Republic of the Congo diesel generator set market in the near future.

Furthermore, the 15–75 kVA capacity generators capture the significant revenue share of the diesel generator industry of the Congo. The rising demand for generators for residential applications contributes to 35% of the nation’s electricity consumption. In addition, most generator sets used in homes usually range between the capacity of 15kVA to 75kVA in rating.

In addition, 751–1,000-kVA capacity generators contribute next-significant revenue to the Congo diesel generator industry, accounting for a 20% share, escalating the country’s economy. For example, high-power-rating generators are required in the mining sector for metal ores extraction and processing.
