Electrolyzers Market by Type, Capacity, Application (Mobility, Industrial Applications, Chemical Production, Other Applications) and Geography—Global Forecast to 2030
The research report titled, ‘Electrolyzers Market by Type, Capacity, Application (Mobility, Industrial Applications, Chemical Production, Other Applications) and Geography—Global Forecast to 2030,’ provides an in-depth analysis of the electrolyzers market in five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, size, and share, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030. The global electrolyzers market is projected to reach $ 4.27 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 21.2% from 2023 to 2030.
An electrolyzer is a system that uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is called electrolysis. Through electrolysis, the electrolyzer system creates hydrogen gas. The leftover oxygen is released into the atmosphere and captured or stored to supply other industrial processes or even medical gases in some cases.
Hydrogen is either stored as a compressed gas or liquefied, and since hydrogen is an energy carrier, it is used to power any hydrogen fuel cell electric application such as trains, buses, trucks, or data centers. The three main types of electrolyzers are proton exchange membrane (PEM), alkaline, and solid oxide. These electrolyzers function in slightly different ways depending on the electrolyte material involved. Electrolyzers range from small, appliance-size equipment well-suited for small-scale distributed hydrogen production to large-scale, central production facilities that deliver the hydrogen by trucks or be connected to pipelines.
The growth of this market is driven by the proliferation of renewable and nuclear technologies for electricity generation, increasing investments in green energy initiatives, and the increasing government focus on hydrogen technologies. However, the shortage of raw materials restrains the growth of the global electrolyzers market. The increasing affordability of electrolyzers is expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the high energy requirements of electrolyzers are a major challenge for market growth.
In this study, the market is segmented based on type, capacity, application, and geography, including its subsegments and geography. The report has considered five major geographies: North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Middle East & Africa.
Based on type, the global electrolyzers market is segmented into polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, alkaline electrolyzers, and solid oxide electrolyzers. The polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzers segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for large hydrogen plants and continuous product development by key players.
Based on capacity, the global electrolyzers market is segmented into less than 500 kW, 500 kW to 2 MW, and more than 2 MW. The less than 500 kW segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the trend toward smaller capacities in applications such as fuel cells for batteries in mobility.
Based on application, the global electrolyzers market is segmented into mobility, industrial applications, chemical production, and other applications. The industrial application segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the capability of green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels and the growing use of green hydrogen across all industries.
Based on geography, the global electrolyzers market is segmented into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The large market share of this region is mainly attributed to the rising focus on regulatory policies toward the development of hydrogen networks and their increasing applicability in industrial applications. Moreover, rising government initiatives to tackle climate change, investments in clean energy technologies, and growing energy consumption further boost market growth.
