Electrolyzers Market To Witness Increased Demand As Valuation Of Us$ 1.11 Bn Estimated By 2030

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 growing 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.

The Electrolyzers Market is projected to reach $4.27 billion by 2030 from an estimated $1.11 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period.

Proliferation of Renewable and Nuclear Technologies for Electricity Generation

Electricity is the major cost component in the production of green hydrogen. Therefore, there is a growing focus on nuclear and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal due to cost savings and zero greenhouse gas emissions in electricity production. Electricity generated from renewable sources is also economical due to advances in technology. Low installation costs are one of the major factors for the falling Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for solar and wind power.

Hydrogen production via electrolysis offers opportunities for intermittent power generation, a characteristic of some renewable energy technologies. However, electricity generation from renewable resources is expected to increase from 18% in 2018 to 31% in 2050. Various governments are also investing in technologies for hydrogen production. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy has invested USD 750 million in advancing electrolysis technologies, driving down clean hydrogen fuel cell costs, and providing long-term support for hydrogen hubs and other industry deployments. These factors are boosting the demand for electrolyzers globally, driving the growth of the electrolyzers market.

Asia-Pacific: Slated to Register the Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period

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 growth of this market 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.
