Market Insights
An electrolyzer is a device that uses electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen in a process known as electrolysis. It has a wide range of applications, including transportation, power generation, industrial energy, building heating & power, among others.
Major factors such as rapid urbanization, favourable government policies, increasing electricity demand, and a shift toward eco-friendly alternatives are expected to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, the market is expected to grow because of increasing industrialization in emerging economies, as well as increased commercialization of hydrogen to achieve energy-efficiency targets. In addition, a surge in demand for hydrogen as a feedstock in the chemical and other industries, as well as a positive outlook for industrial base expansion, will invigorate the business scenario. Increasing R&D activities to produce green hydrogen, combined with rising government spending on H2 energy design and development programs, will positively influence the growth of the market over the forecast period. Overall, the electrolyzer market is estimated to grow at a whopping CAGR of 30.2% during the forecast period.

Market Segments' Analysis
Based on the product type, the market is bifurcated into alkaline electrolyzer, PEM electrolyzer, and solid oxide electrolyzer. Alkaline electrolyzer is likely to hold the major share of the market in the foreseen future. Introduction of government initiatives to support clean energy sources, as well as a shift in consumer focus toward carbon footprint reduction, is driving the segment's growth. Furthermore, the product provides key advantages such as long-term stability, mature technology, and inexpensive operating and installation costs, all of which contribute to the product's growth. PEM electrolyzer, on the other hand, is estimated to witness significant growth in the market during the forecast period, on account of its compact system design, high current density, and rapid response toward current fluctuations.
Based on the capacity type, the market is segmented as ≤500 kW, >500 kW-2 MW, and Above 2 MW. The >500 kW-2 MW electrolyzer market is expected to register high growth over the forecast period. Factors such as increasing industrialization and ongoing electrification programs across off grid/rural areas are expected to fuel the overall industry growth during the forecast period. On the other hand, the ≤500 kW capacity segment is estimated to witness significant growth in the market on account of growing investments for developing fuel cell infrastructure and chemical plants, coupled with ongoing distribution of these systems across railway and other transportation sectors.
Based on the application type, the market is segmented as power generation, transportation, industry energy, industry feedstock, building heating & power, and others. Power generation is expected to account for the lion's share of the market in the coming years, owing to large-scale integration of renewable energy resources, increasing infrastructure investments across the commercial sector, and growing demand for energy imports. Transportation, on the other hand, is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to rising demand for FCEVs as an alternative to conventional automobiles.
In terms of regions, Europe is expected to be the dominating region in the market for electrolyzers over the forecast period. Factors such as increasing demand for electricity and a shift in focus toward sustainable power generation, development of a comprehensive platform for hydrogen-based power generation, and expansion of industrial sectors such as refining, glass purification, petrochemicals, and fertilisers are expected to drive the region’s market growth over the forecast period.
