Weather Events Alleviate the Effect of the Pandemic on the North American Power Rental Market


SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new analysis by Verify Markets shows the North American Power Rental Market was valued at over $1.3 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach almost $2.0 billion by 2027.

“Market participants report 2019 as a very good year for the industry. However, the COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact on power rental companies’ revenues during the first three quarters of 2020 and will continue affecting the market growth during the short-term of the forecast period. Moreover, lower oil prices and the U.S. presidential election also affected the economic activity during 2020. Oil prices are projected to decline by 32.9 percent over 2019, and the elections discouraged capital spending as investors were uncertain about the future economic policy,” states Senior Consultant for Verify Markets Georgina Carraway.

Nevertheless, weather events such as the recent wildfires in California and an active hurricane season in the Gulf Coast have lessened the impact of the pandemic on the market demand during the second and third quarters of 2020. Additionally, the recent news about the development of a COVID-19 vaccine are expected to have a positive effect on the market during the last quarter of the year. Other factors such as increasing urbanization and construction growth, aging power infrastructure, and recovery of the industrial activities are expected to drive the growth of the power rental market during the forecast period.

The North American Power Rental Market report has been segmented by fuel, application, power output and end user. Main customers include oil & gas, utilities, industrial, commercial, construction, and events. The oil & gas segment has been traditionally one of the main end users of rental generators. However, lower oil & gas prices have affected investment in exploration and extraction, decreasing the share of the oil & gas segment in the power rental industry. This sector represented 17.5 percent of the total market during 2020. The live events sector has been one of the most affected sectors by the COVID-19 pandemic as most large events and parties have been cancelled or delayed. Utilities are expected to be one of the fastest growing end users. Aging power infrastructure is increasing the demand for temporary power from utility companies as they demand rental generators to provide power to their customers during plant and grid service and maintenance. Moreover, as utilities incorporate more renewable energy sources to their generation mix, it is expected that they will demand more power rental to provide grid stability and reliability.
