A diesel engine operates on diesel fuel, converting the energy from combustion into mechanical energy. Renowned for their efficiency and durability, diesel engines are well-suited for heavy-duty tasks and extended use, owing to their superior compression ratios and thermal efficiencies compared to gasoline engines.
Diesel power engines come in several main types, including on-road diesel engines, off-road diesel engines, and others. On-road diesel engines power vehicles that traverse highways and city streets. They are utilized in standby, prime, and peak shaving operations, with rated powers ranging from less than 0.5 megawatts (MW) to over 5 megawatts (MW), catering to various end-users such as industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
The diesel power engine market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides diesel power engine market statistics, including the diesel power engine industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with diesel power engine market share, detailed diesel power engine market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the diesel power engine industry. These diesel power engine market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The diesel power engine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.16 billion in 2024 to $8.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased industrialization, growth in transportation infrastructure, rising demand for power generation, expansion of the agricultural sector, military applications, rising demand for fuel efficiency, and government policies promoting diesel usage.
The diesel power engine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for backup power solutions, rising investments in infrastructure projects, expanding logistics and transportation industries, increasing data center establishments requiring robust power solutions, and expanding construction activities. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in fuel efficiency, advanced hybrid systems, integration of IoT and AI technologies, growth in the use of biodiesel blends, and development of smart engine management systems.
The growth of the marine industry is expected to drive the expansion of the diesel power engine market. The marine industry includes all activities related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of vessels and structures used on or in water. This sector is experiencing growth due to factors such as increased global trade, offshore oil and gas exploration, rising demand for seafood, expanding marine tourism, and the development of offshore renewable energy projects. Diesel power engines play a critical role in the marine industry by providing reliable and efficient propulsion for ships and vessels, enabling long-distance travel, supporting heavy cargo transport, and powering essential onboard systems for various marine operations. For example, in June 2024, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a US-based government agency, reported that the marine economy accounted for 1.8% ($476.2 billion) of the U.S. GDP in 2022, a rise from 1.8% ($424.2 billion) in 2021. It also represented 1.7% ($776.9 billion) of the current-dollar gross output. As a result, the expansion of the marine industry is fueling the growth of the diesel power engine market.
Major companies in the diesel power engine market are embracing digital solutions such as predictive models to enhance maintenance planning, aiming for optimal performance and reduced downtime. Predictive models utilize statistical or machine learning techniques, leveraging historical data to forecast future outcomes. For instance, in August 2023, Cummins Inc., a US-based engine manufacturer, introduced an innovative predictive model for its X15 heavy-duty engine. This technology warns owners in advance when a diesel particulate filter (DPF) differential pressure (DP) sensor is at risk of failure. Customers receive predictive alerts up to 90 days before potential sensor failure, enabling proactive scheduling of replacements to avoid downtime. Predictive alerts are communicated via email through PrevenTech or accessed using Cummins' genuine service tools such as Guidanz Mobile and INSITE. This technology will provide customers with predictive insights, empowering them to proactively schedule sensor replacements, ultimately reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.
In October 2023, DEUTZ AG, a Germany-based internal combustion engine manufacturer, acquired Diesel Motor Nordic Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is anticipated to help DEUTZ AG increase revenue, expand its global footprint, improve its service operations, and strengthen its position in the dynamic diesel engine market. Diesel Motor Nordic Group, based in Sweden, specializes in diesel engine manufacturing.
