The Global Hydrogen Electrolyzers 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 Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market Definition

Hydrogen, which is utilized in a variety of industrial applications such as chemicals, electronics, and glass, is created both as a primary product and as a by-product. More than 90% of global hydrogen consumption is met by supplies derived from fossil fuels. Hydrogen generated by water electrolysis meets just a small portion of this requirement. There are several types of electrolyzers on the market, such as alkaline electrolyzers, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, solid oxide electrolyzers, and so on, which differ in processing techniques and operating efficiency. The passage of an electric current through a hydrogen electrolyzer disintegrates water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.

These electrolyzers are available in a variety of capacities to fulfil the optimal volume need for various applications, with hydrogen generation ranging from small scale production (100 liter/h) to large scale production (1000 liter/h). Governments throughout the world are focusing their efforts on developing a sustainable hydrogen economy, in which electrolyzers are projected to play an important part in the coming years. Furthermore, hydrogen electrolyzers are expected to grow appeal in small-scale industrial applications, with more end-users preferring on-site hydrogen generation in industries such as food and beverage, metal manufacturing and fabrication, electronics, and others.

Global Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market Overview

Over the forecast period, government regulations and public-private partnerships supporting the use of hydrogen as an automobile fuel and energy carrier are projected to emerge as the most prominent growth drivers for the electrolyzers market. Furthermore, in areas where long-distance hydrogen transportation is either prohibitively expensive or where natural gas generating costs are substantially higher, end-users choose small-scale electrolyzers for on-site generation. Although technical advances in hydrogen electrolyzers are lowering total hydrogen production costs, there is still a long way to go before electrolysis is as cost efficient as other traditional methods of production, such as steam methane reforming, etc. Ongoing process level breakthroughs for enhancing overall electrolyzer efficiency, such as advances in catalyst and membrane effectiveness, are predicted to reduce the cost of electrolysis during the next decade. Furthermore, throughout the forecast period, the development of efficient hydrogen storage systems and high-pressure electrolyzers is likely to present substantial potential prospects in the worldwide hydrogen electrolyzer market.

Because of the benefits of zero-emission hydrogen generation, various organisations are continuing to replace fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas with renewables, which has emerged as a significant driving reason for market growth. Renewable hydrogen generating has a number of advantages. Excess variable power provided by intermittent sources such as wind turbines or solar PVs, for example, can be used to produce hydrogen. Furthermore, renewable energy installations are typically positioned far from end customers. If the generated electricity is utilized for electrolysis to make hydrogen, the transportation of it might be commoditized and unfettered by grid connection, as is the situation with liquefied natural gas (LNG). As a result of the increased need for clean hydrogen, the expanding trend of combining hydrogen electrolyzers with renewables will drive market expansion throughout the projection period.

Many technologies, including electrolysis, thermochemical processes, photolytic processes, and biological processes, can be used to create hydrogen. The electrolysis-based hydrogen generating method confronts intense competition from alternative processes, primarily thermochemical, because electrolysis accounts for just one-twentieth of total hydrogen generation sources. Other than thermochemical and electrolysis, hydrogen generating methods such as photolysis or direct solar water splitting, as well as biological processes such as microbial biomass and photobiological conversion, are still in the early phases of development. However, these technologies offer the potential for low-emission, long-term hydrogen generation. As a result, the existence of mature and cost-effective alternative hydrogen generation technologies may restrain the growth of the worldwide hydrogen electrolyzers market during the projected period.

Global Hydrogen Electrolyzers MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market is segmented based on Product Type, End-User, and Geography.

Hydrogen Electrolyzers Market, By Product Type

• Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer• Alkaline Electrolyzer• Solid Oxide Electrolyzer

Based on Product Type, the market is further segmented into Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer, Alkaline Electrolyzer, Solid Oxide Electrolyzer. The alkaline segment’s market share rise in hydrogen electrolyzers will be strong throughout the projection period. Alkaline hydrogen electrolyzers are significantly less expensive than PEM hydrogen electrolyzers. As a result, this type of electrolyzer is commonly used for on-site hydrogen production. The main benefit of alkaline hydrogen electrolyzers is that they can sustain greater MW range stacks, resulting in increased capacity and a more stable working environment for hydrogen electrolyzers. As a result of benefits such as cheaper prices and better production capacity when compared to PEM hydrogen electrolyzers, the alkaline hydrogen electrolyzer market is expected to increase at a steady rate throughout the projected period.
