Electrolyzer Market Size And Forecast

Electrolyzer Market size is growing at a faster pace with substantial growth rates over the last few years and is estimated that the market will grow significantly in the forecasted period i.e. 2023 to 2030.

The primary uses of hydrogen are across various industrial applications such as electronics, chemicals and glass. Across the world several governments are focusing on creating a sustainable hydrogen country as hydrogen is considered as the green fuel which in turn is expected to boost the growth of the global Electrolyzer Market. The Global Electrolyzer Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Electrolyzer Market Definition

An electrolyzer can be explained as a device that utilizes electricity to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen through a process called electrolysis. The device comprises a cathode, an anode, and a membrane. The system creates hydrogen gas through the process of electrolysis. Then electricity is applied to anode and cathode across the device which leads to the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Primary usage of Electrolyzer is in stationary, portable, and transportation power generation systems such as portable electronics and fuel cell-powered vehicles. The hydrogen produced from the device has various applications such as industrial process, power generation, vehicle fueling, and injection in natural gas pipeline and can be integrated into different system architectures.

Global Electrolyzer Market Overview

In recent times 90% of hydrogen is being produced from fossil fuel resources whereas only a small portion of is manufactured by the water hydrolysis process. The primary uses of hydrogen are across various industrial applications such as electronics, chemicals and glass. Across the world several governments are focusing on creating a sustainable hydrogen country as hydrogen is considered as the green fuel which in turn is expected to boost the growth of the global Electrolyzer Market.

Additionally many governments and renewable energy associations are promoting hydrogen as an automotive fuel and energy carrier. The development activities by various manufacturers where they are trying to increase the efficiency and catalyst & membrane effectiveness of the devices are expected to render the process of electrolysis more cost-effective. Other factors driving the Global Electrolyzer Market are the increasing demand for hydrogen in the chemical, glass, food and beverage, mining and semi conductor industries.

The rise in popularity of fuel cell vehicles like electric cars and buses across both developing and developed countries is really making a difference. By reducing our reliance on gasoline, it's expected to give the Global Electrolyzer Market a real boost. Lots of car companies are pushing for more hydrogen cars because they help lower the average carbon impact of our energy and cut down on greenhouse gases and other pollution. All of this is expected to fuel market growth. However, there are some bumps in the road. Things like the high cost of electricity to run these devices, plus some technical challenges like low current density, not being able to handle high pressure, and struggling with low loads, could slow down the growth of the Global Electrolyzer Market.

Global Electrolyzer Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global Electrolyzer Market is Segmented on the basis of Type, Application, And Geography.

Electrolyzer Market, By Type

• Traditional Alkaline Electrolyzer
• Proton Exchange Membrane

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Traditional Alkaline Electrolyzer and Proton Exchange Membrane. The traditional alkaline electrolyzer held the largest market share in 2019. These types of devices are commonly used for large scale systems and are oldest technology around the world. The proton exchange membrane segment involves a solid polymer electrolyte. These devices can be made to operate at a high differential pressure across the membrane and have a bipolar design. Hydrogen produced in these devices is of highest purity. Another key advantage of this device is that efficiencies are higher especially at high current densities.

Electrolyzer Market, By Application

• Power Plants
• Energy storage or fueling for FCEVs
• Industrial gases
• Steel Plants
• Others

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Power Plants, Energy storage or fueling for FCEVs, Industrial gases, Steel Plants, and Others. The power plants segment held the major share in the market in 2019. Electrolyzer are mainly used automotive industry for fuel cell electric vehicle. Electrolyzer decrease the average carbon intensity of primary energy over time and hence industrial gases segment I expected to grow in future. In long term the dependency on oil will reduce which will reduce the emission of greenhouse gas and other pollutants. In steel plants, electrolyzer is used for fossil-free steel making.
