Small Engine Market Introduction and Overview 

According to SPER Market Research, the Global Small Engine Market is estimated to reach USD 14.3 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 5.43%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Small Engine Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The Small Engine Market was valued at USD 8.43 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.43% from 2025 to 2034. The primary driver of this market expansion is the increasing demand for outdoor power equipment, coupled with growth in construction and infrastructure development, as well as the rising popularity of home gardening. As global construction activities and infrastructure projects continue to increase, the demand for small engines in construction machinery, including compactors, concrete mixers, and generators, is also experiencing significant growth.


By Engine Type Insights
In 2024, the horizontal engine segment, categorized by engine type, captured the largest share of the market due to its versatility and extensive applications. Horizontal engines are preferred for their adaptability in a variety of equipment, including lawnmowers, generators, and pressure washers. Their design facilitates seamless integration into a diverse array of machinery, which enhances their market dominance.

By Energy Resources Insights
In terms of energy resources, the diesel segment represented the largest share of the small engine market in 2024, reflecting its prevalent use in numerous small engine applications, especially within industrial and heavy-duty equipment. Conversely, gas and electricity are expected to witness the most rapid growth rate. This anticipated growth is linked to the increasing emphasis on cleaner and more environmentally sustainable fuel options. LPG is becoming more popular due to its reduced emissions in comparison to conventional fuels, rendering it an appealing choice for small engines in scenarios where environmental factors are critical. The growing awareness of sustainable energy resources and the drive for cleaner alternatives are key factors contributing to the expected rise of LPG in the market.

Regional Insights
The United States occupies a significant position as the foremost market for small engines for various reasons. Firstly, the U.S. boasts a well-established and robust manufacturing sector that produces a wide array of products necessitating small engines, such as lawn and garden equipment, power tools, and portable generators. The country's technological superiority and robust industrial base are essential to the manufacture and use of small engines in a variety of applications.


Market Competitive Landscape
The global small engine sector is notably fragmented due to the existence of numerous market participants. The leading firms in this market include Briggs, Honda, and Yamaha, which are projected to hold the largest share of revenue in 2024. These major companies are concentrating on mergers and acquisitions, expanding their facilities, and forming strategic partnerships to broaden their product range, increase their customer base, and strengthen their market presence. Additionally, these companies are prioritizing acquisition strategies. Government initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of highly efficient sustainable engines, along with the geographical expansion of key players, are expected to heighten market competition throughout the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

  • In August 2024, Briggs & Stratton revealed the launch of production for the Vanguard 300 single-cylinder horizontal shaft engine. Featuring a displacement of 307cc and generating 10.0 Gross HP, this engine is engineered to provide exceptional performance, robust power, and minimized maintenance, leading to a reduced total cost of ownership. The addition of the 307cc variant broadens Vanguard’s single-cylinder portfolio, allowing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to utilize a single engine brand across their entire product range.
  • In 2024, GE Aerospace formed a partnership with Kratos Turbine Technologies to develop a small engine that could potentially power unmanned aerial systems (UAS), collaborative combat aircraft, and related applications.
