The overseas market of diesel generator sets is mainly divided into traditional markets and emerging markets. The traditional markets mainly include European countries and the North American region. Europe and the United States are the largest international markets for diesel generators, and the main driving forces come from the telecommunications field, IT technology, and some EU subsidy funds. The emerging markets include the African region, Middle Eastern countries, Southeast Asia, Oceania, the Arctic and Antarctic regions, etc.

In the African and Middle Eastern regions, the demand for diesel generators mainly comes from oil exploration, facility construction, and the demand generated by power facilities. These regions have a relatively large demand for diesel generator sets, especially in oil - producing areas. The market demand in the Asia - Pacific region is driven by industrialization and urbanization.

In China, due to the fact that diesel generator sets are mobile power sources, they are difficult to be replaced in many fields. Currently, there is still a large demand in hospitals, banks, airports, outdoor workplaces, etc., and diesel generator sets are still regarded as essential emergency power supplies. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of China's social and economic development level, the requirements for power supply guarantee are getting higher and higher. With the country's strong investment in infrastructure construction, the growth of mobile communication and data center demand, the advancement of the country's industrialization and urbanization process, the rapid construction of Internet data centers, and the increase in oil and gas exploration activities, the demand for high - tech - content and high - reliability standby power products will increase significantly, which will promote the demand for diesel generator sets in the domestic market.

Compared with other power supply equipment, in the long - term future, diesel generator sets will still be the main choice for standby power, mobile power, self - provided power, and alternative power, and have an irreplaceable position. With the continuous development of the social and economic development level, the demand for power supply is constantly increasing, and the requirements for power supply guarantee will also be higher and higher. Therefore, the overall demand for diesel generator sets will continue to increase.

Due to the international technical standards, management models, and business concepts brought by foreign - funded brands, domestic diesel generator set enterprises have achieved development at a high starting point. Especially, China's technical standards and safety regulations are directly in line with international standards, eliminating the technical barriers for domestic complete - machine products to enter the international market. Domestic diesel generator sets have quickly stepped into the international ranks in terms of technology, quality, management, and service.

With the advantages of flexible management mechanisms and high - cost - performance products, domestic enterprises have gradually increased their market share from zero at the founding stage to the current 60%, breaking the monopoly of foreign - funded brands and forming leading brand enterprises in the market. In a relatively short period of time, they have formed a complete business chain from research and development, design, manufacturing to maintenance, and have become national brands that can compete with foreign - funded brands in the same market.

With the continuous development of society, the gradual improvement of scientific and technological levels, and the continuous growth of electricity consumption, the market demand for diesel generator sets is increasing day by day. The future development of the diesel generator set industry will be towards intelligence, greening, and high - end, with a broad market prospect.

(1) IntelligenceBased on the development of technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, and the continuous improvement of product requirements from middle - and high - end users and complex application scenarios, generator sets should not only have the advantages of traditional artificial intelligence, but also have the ability to dynamically and randomly handle various problems, so that each component of the generator set is always in the best state. For example, the development of remote monitoring technology to achieve remote online detection, tracking, status confirmation, control, and efficient and energy - saving operation of generator sets, effectively improving the operation safety of the units and reducing the maintenance costs of the units.

In recent years, automated and intelligent diesel generator sets have achieved significant development in both domestic and foreign markets, with the scope of use continuously expanding, and the intelligent starting and loading performance increasing year by year. They have become an indispensable and important power equipment in various power supply guarantee systems. Users' requirements for the performance of automated units are constantly increasing. With the improvement of the automation level, the characteristics of automated performance are gradually approaching the performance requirements of uninterruptible power supplies and long - term unattended operation. Automated units used in some remote, mountainous, and island power stations are realizing monitoring functions such as remote control, remote measurement, and remote communication.

(2) GreeningUnder the policy background of the country's promotion of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" and "constructing a new power system with new energy as the main body", future new - energy power generation and energy - storage products will have an impact on the development direction of traditional generator sets. According to statistics, in 2023, the national power - generation equipment production was 177.115 million kilowatts (calculated by generators), a year - on - year increase of 30.6%. Among them: hydropower units were 13.492 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 53.1%; thermal - power units (including diesel - generator sets) were 76.649 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 13.4%; wind - power units were 79.699 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 39.7%; nuclear - power units were 7.275 million kilowatts, a year - on - year increase of 230.7%.

(3) High - endThe generator is an important part of the diesel - generator set, which converts the mechanical energy output by the diesel engine into electrical energy for industrial and mining enterprises or individuals to use. The performance of the generator is crucial, as it directly affects the quality and stability of the output electrical energy. With the progress of society, all walks of life are using some high - end electronic equipment, which puts forward higher requirements for the quality of electricity. Many ordinary generators in the domestic market are far from being able to meet them. At present, the high - end generators in the domestic market are all imported brands. The research, development, and production of high - end generators with independent intellectual property rights are the inevitable requirements for the development of automated diesel - generator sets.
