The U.S. market for residential generators is closely tied to major disturbances in the power system. While hurricanes and winter storms are most closely associated with electrical power interruptions, they are only part of the problem. The overloaded and out-of-date power grid is also a major factor, as evidenced by recent brownouts and blackouts. Consumers are increasingly sensitive to these power interruptions with the rise of home offices and in-home use of electric-powered medical devices, which has broadened the market for generators beyond portables to stationary or standby units that automatically provide uninterrupted power. Consumer lifestyles have also led to broader applications for portable generators. No longer content to “rough it,” people enjoying activities such as camping and tailgating use portables to power stoves, computers, televisions, coolers and more. These trends have driven U.S. shipments of consumer generators (represented by gasoline-powered generators with an output up to 15 kilowatts) to $723 million in 2006 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% since 2002. The market is expected to remain strong with retail sales of portable and standby units growing at a combined 19% CAGR through 2011.
