DUBLIN, Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Diesel Engine Market – Global Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

In-depth Analysis and Data-driven Insights on the Impact of COVID-19 Included in this Global Diesel Engine Market Report

The diesel engine market by revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3% during the period 2019-2025.

The global diesel engine market is expected to touch new growth heights on account of the development of new generation agriculture equipment, manufacturing, forestry, material processing, military, mining and utility vehicles, and locomotives and ships, which are expected to expand the usage of modern diesel engines. The sale of aftermarket diesel engine products is also likely to rise as the world’s stocks are increasing.

In addition, diesel models in industrializing countries with low strict emission requirements are expected to gain market shares. Several powerful diesel engines are expected to be built in the future, which comply with the latest emissions regulations. The global demand for diesel engines is expected to be guided primarily by the development in major regions, including Europe and APAC. The increasing use of more sophisticated technical engines is also likely to increase to drive revenue during the forecast period.

DIESEL ENGINE MARKET SEGMENTATION

This research report includes a detailed segmentation by application, power equipment by operation, power equipment by end-user, marine diesel Engine by speed, and geography. The automotive segment is expected to have higher growth rate than the non-automotive application segment. Although diesel engines are more fuel efficient than petrol ones, the incentive for vehicle manufacturers is on the lower side as there is a higher tax rate on diesel vehicles than petrol ones, and the emission standards for diesel engines are considerably higher than those for petrol. The sale of diesel engines in full-size and commercial pickup trucks and SUVs is expected to increase post Q1 2021.

The stand-by operation segment is expected to have a high growth than prime and peak shaving segments. Diesel engines are of low cost and have the ability to handle high-load during emergency power-cuts. Moreover, the outbreak of COVID-19 has brought all markets to a standstill due to shutdowns and lockdowns imposed across countries. The demand for peak shaving power generators is driven by constant outages of electricity in countries having extreme climates and unsuitable power infrastructure. The prime power segment is expected to be among the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.

The industrial end-user segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of over 3% during the forecast period. The industry’s main driving force is – government economic development policies in various countries including Mexico, China, Brazil, and India. Also, the growth of the oil and gas, construction equipment, and other industries in China, Brazil, Canada, and African countries is also pushing the demand for power gensets in the industrial end-user sector. The demand is driven by the upcoming investment programs with respect to expansion in the industrial sector. However, after the COVID-19 outbreak, industries have been affected and gradual growth of industries after reopening are expected to push the market ahead.

Low-speed diesel engines in marine applications are expected to increase in demand from shipyards in East Asia, particularly in China, Korea, and Japan during the forecast period. The two-stroke cycle in diesel powered marine engines is to improve the power-to-weight ratio and raise the scale and reversibility of the engine. The market is projected to grow further due to increased investments by major vendors and product expansions.

INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY

The APAC diesel engine market growth is strengthened because of the increased use of commercial vehicles in the industrial sector. Growth in vehicle sales were impacted throughout the globe in the first two quarters of 2020 due to the outbreak of the pandemic. Also, diesel vehicle markets are projected to remain uncertain in 2020 and 2021, owing to fluctuating macroeconomic conditions. The diesel engine industry in APAC is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 2% during the forecast period.

China is likely to witness a truncated growth rate with respect to diesel engines, as the electric vehicle market is set to grow further in the country, with minimal government incentives. The demand for diesel engine vehicles has been increasing in Japan, whereas countries in Europe and North America were declining. The diesel engine market in India is anticipated to have opportunities in construction equipment and heavy industry equipment markets.

INSIGHTS BY VENDORS

The global diesel engine market is highly fragmented due to the presence of several local and global players in the market. The market is characterized by established brands, a full array of competitive products and features, and a strong global presence and customer service and distribution network. The key players compete on the basis of product performance, service to clients, quality, innovation, and price. The market remains competitive from a demand point of view, but steps taken to preserve the competitive advantage in the current economic environment are projected to result in a price realization that is lower than expected.

HATTIESBURG, Miss., Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The HATTIESBURG CONVENTION COMMISSION presents «Dinosaurs Around the World» at the LAKE TERRACE CONVENTION CENTER, beginning THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2020. Dinosaurs Around the World takes you back in time on a dinosaur adventure and a tour of an Earth very different from today – a time before the continents as we know them existed, when lush landscapes covered Africa and greenery was the norm in Antarctica. With advanced animatronics, a multi-layered narrative, fossils, authentic casts, cutting-edge research and immersive design elements, you’ll experience the Age of Reptiles as it comes to life.

Dinosaurs Around the World invites you to grab your prehistoric passport to Pangea and discover how plate tectonics, land bridges, and volcanic activity allowed dinosaurs to disperse to all corners of the globe, giving each of the seven continents its own unique selection of these giant reptiles. During their 172 million year reign, dinosaurs adapted into a variety of forms due to the conditions of the areas in which they lived. The exhibition includes examples such as the mighty T. Rex of North America, the swift Velociraptor of the Gobi Desert, the massive herbivore Amargasaurus from the tropical jungles of South America and many others.

«Dinosaurs Around the World will transport visitors back in time to the unrecognizable landscape of Pangea in a playful and educational way,» said Tom Zaller, President & CEO of Imagine Exhibitions. «I am proud of all that our team at Imagine Exhibitions has accomplished with our partners to achieve that goal.»

Dinosaurs Around the World is a can’t-miss event that appeals to children and adults alike. «This exhibition has traveled the world from Europe to the Middle East, and of course, here in the United States. Hattiesburg has a special opportunity to see and learn from an international scale exhibition,» explains Rick Taylor, Executive Director of the Hattiesburg Convention Commission. «This exhibition will appeal to all. Dinosaurs are a unique part of the Earth’s history that children and adults find equally fascinating. The design of the exhibit lends itself to families, individuals, and it also makes for a very unique ‘date night.'» Most importantly, proceeds from this exhibit will benefit the new education center at the Hattiesburg Zoo.

Dinosaurs Around the World is open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Oct. 29, 2020 through Jan. 10, 2021. Tickets are available to purchase at the LAKE TERRACE CONVENTION CENTER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — An overwhelming majority of US and Canadian travelers (99 percent) are eager to travel again, with 70 percent stating that they plan to take a vacation in 2021, according to a Travel Leaders Group survey of nearly 3,000 frequent travelers. The survey was conducted in September in conjunction with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), which represents the global Travel & Tourism private sector.

Results indicate that 45 percent of respondents have already made plans or are starting to make finite plans for their next vacation, while 54 percent say they are dreaming of when they can travel again.

«These are really strong numbers. The fact that 99 percent of travelers surveyed said they are planning a trip or looking forward to the time they can travel again indicates that as concerns about COVID-19 are addressed, leisure travelers will lead the recovery,» said John Lovell, President of Travel Leaders Group.

In the survey, 23 percent of respondents said they plan to travel by the end of 2020, 70 percent said they will travel in 2021 with just 18 percent saying they will resume traveling in 2022.

«Consumer uncertainty about the risk of exposure or concerns about being quarantined is a core problem,» said Gloria Guevara, WTTC President & CEO. «With rapid testing to replace quarantine requirements, enhanced contact tracing and industry-wide standards by sector that can be clearly communicated to the public, we can help alleviate many of those concerns.»

The willingness of Americans to travel can be seen in the slow, but steady, increase in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) daily screening numbers, which fell below 90,000 a day in April and are now approaching 1 million a day at peak periods. In 2019, TSA daily traveler counts averaged between 2.3 and 2.7 million passengers a day.

More than half of travelers surveyed say they are concerned about the risk of being infected when traveling on a plane or cruise ship, getting stuck while away from home or being quarantined on a cruise ship or at a hotel. A lesser number named concerns about them or a family member contracting the virus while traveling, worries about getting a refund if the trip is cancelled, and concerns about family members with higher risk health conditions.

A majority of survey respondents said the following health and safety initiatives at airports, aboard aircraft and at resorts will make a big difference in their decision to travel in the future: mandatory masks, social distancing, enhanced cleaning, temperature checks and access to sanitizing gel. For resorts, contact-free services and customizable room cleaning were also cited.

«Our industry needs to do more to inform potential travelers about all of the health and safety protocols that have been implemented across the industry and continue to standardize those protocols to restore consumer confidence in travel,» said Lovell. «Airlines, airports and cruise lines have made major strides in the health and hygiene measures they have taken in close consultation with the world’s leading medical experts. We need to share that story with the traveling public.»

Nearly 60 percent of respondents said the requirement of a negative PCR test prior to arrival in a destination would make no difference or would be viewed as a positive, while about 40 percent said such a requirement would be a deterrent. Those concerns can be addressed with rapid testing, Lovell said. «We believe the widespread availability of rapid testing will result in greater acceptance of pre-trip testing and encourage more people to travel,» he stated.

Modes of Travel & Destinations

Most of those surveyed who said they plan to take a vacation said they will fly to their next vacation destination (47 percent), 21 percent will drive, 17 percent said they plan to take an ocean cruise, with 5 percent opting for a river cruise.

«We continue to see strong interest in domestic travel, beach destinations and less crowded destinations in both the US and Canada, while the popularity of Europe across the board is encouraging,» said Stephen McGillivray, Chief Marketing Officer for Travel Leaders Group.

Europe (38 percent), the Caribbean (34 percent) and Mexico (15 percent) are the top-ranked international destinations of interest, followed by Canada (for US travelers), Central and South America, Australia, Africa and Asia.

For US travelers, uncrowded, outdoor and beach experiences topped the list of desired domestic destinations, with National Parks, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, California and «anywhere uncrowded» high on the list while traditionally popular sites, such as New York and Nevada, scored lower.

For Canadians, British Columbia, Atlantic Canada, Alberta, Ontario, «anywhere uncrowded» and National Parks led the list.

The survey results are validated by Travel Leaders Group’s online inquiries. Online leads declined in late March, reaching a low point on April 12 then peaking on June 14. Following a second outbreak of COVID-19 in some areas, leads dropped again and are now on the upswing, up 88 percent from the low in April, McGillivray said.

Close-in booking windows are a trend among online shoppers. The majority of consumers reaching out online want to travel by the year’s end 2020, followed by January/February 2021, spring and summer. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and honeymoons are popular reasons to travel. Camper vans and home and villa rentals are in high demand.

Many come seeking the expert advice of a travel advisor. Here’s a sampling of the inquiries:

• «Where can I go without self-quarantine?»
• «I need to get out of here, where can I go?»
• «I’ve never used a travel agent before…»
• «I NEED a travel agent.»
• «I am an avid cruiser always booked direct but need a travel agent to help me book them now.»

«Booking with a travel advisor is the best possible strategy to navigate the new world of travel,» McGillivray said. «They can provide all the facts you need to know about destinations, requirements, how to protect your purchase, and best of all, they provide peace of mind.»
