Growth Opportunities in the Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market, 2023–2033

Growth Opportunities in the Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market, 2023–2033


Despite Challenging Market Conditions in the Short-term, Electrolyzers Will Likely Become a $28.18 Billion Market Play by 2033

Electrolyzers use electrolysis to generate hydrogen from water. They will play a crucial role in the global transition towards clean energy because they provide a sustainable and efficient method for producing low- or zero-carbon hydrogen for various applications across many industrial sectors. The key factors that contribute to the electrolyzer industry’s growth include the increasing demand for hydrogen as an energy carrier, supportive government policies and incentives, and the need to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in the global energy industry. In contrast, high capital costs, efficiency concerns, and limited renewable energy integration may impede the wider adoption of electrolyzer technologies.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis outlines the relative merits of each of the major electrolyzer technologies, explores the key trends that are likely to impact the industries development in the decade ahead, examines the key regulatory factors impacting growth, and provides forecasts for the growth in installation volumes and production to 2033 as well as an overview of the industry’s competitive structure, including profiles of leading industry participants.
