The global small gas engine market size was US$ 2.82 billion in 2021. The global small gas engine market size is forecast to reach US$ 4.2 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

Small engine refers to a variety of low-powered, small-displacement engines used in lawnmowers, generators, concrete mixers, and a wide variety of other machines requiring independent power sources. For example, a pull-cord starter on an air-cooled single-cylinder petrol engine with a capacitor-discharge ignition system and the gravity-fed carburetor is a typical example. Motorcycles, motor scooters, all-terrain vehicles, and go-karts have similar engine designs and displacements.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

The increasing demand for outdoor power equipment that is low-emission & fuel-efficient, along with the development of special gas engines and remote generation applications, is driving the global market.
Automobile manufacturers are relentlessly working on meeting strict emission norms, thereby gaining immense momentum for small machines. As a result, the latest technological avenues such as micro-hybridization and biofuels may offer robust growth opportunities to the small gas engines market in the forecast period.
Over the forecast period, the high price of small gas engines may slow down the market value of the small gas engines market globally.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy and power sectors have been significantly affected, resulting in falling power prices and weaker demand. As a result, the small gas engines market suffered from the construction industry collapsing and the outdoor power equipment market falling. Due to the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, most organizations in the small gas engine market are striving to cut the costs of asset protection while ensuring smooth operation flows to curb revenue loss. As a result of the lockdown, energy and power plants ceased operations. Thus, these factors have negatively impacted the global small gas engine market.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest share of the small gas engines market in 2021. Increase in the construction and rental of outdoor power equipment, an increase in the demand for landscape services in the commercial and residential sectors, and an increase in the construction and rental of outdoor power equipment. Furthermore, Canada and the US are heavily investing in green buildings, increasing the need for gardens near buildings, and advancing the number of construction projects in the region, all of which are contributing to the growth of the global small gas engines market.
