The increasing frequency and intensity of peak demand events, caused by factors such as extreme weather, including hot summers, strain grids, population growth, large events, and industrial expansion, are further expected to drive the growth of the Middle East & Africa power rental market.
South Africa is expected to be the second-largest market during the forecast period.
By country, South Africa is expected to be the second-largest segment in the Middle East & Africa power rental market during the forecast period, driven by chronic power shortages from grid instability, rapid infrastructure expansion under the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, and surging demand from mining, construction, and industrial sectors. Key trends in the South African power rental market include a shift towards sustainable, hybrid, and renewable-integrated solutions due to environmental regulations, technological upgrades such as smart monitoring for efficiency, and government electrification initiatives, positioning South Africa behind leaders like Saudi Arabia but ahead of Nigeria in market share.
