Pioneering the Green Hydrogen Revolution: The Electrolyzer Market Forecast
Key Ideas
  • Global electrolyzer production capacity is projected to exceed 14 terawatts in the next 15 years, driven by the demand for green hydrogen.
  • Asia-Pacific, led by China, is experiencing the highest deployment of electrolyzers, with Europe and North America following suit.
  • PEM electrolyzers are forecasted to surpass alkaline electrolyzers in market share by 2039, with rapid growth expected in SOEC and AEM technologies.
  • The study emphasizes the necessity of electrolyzers for green hydrogen production to meet the rising global demand in the coming years.
A recent market research study by Information Trends predicts a significant surge in electrolyzer production capacity worldwide, exceeding 14 terawatts over the next 15 years. The demand for green hydrogen as a sustainable energy source is driving this growth, with a focus on generating hydrogen from renewable energy sources. Asia-Pacific, spearheaded by China, leads in the deployment of electrolyzers, followed by Europe and North America. The study highlights four key electrolyzer technologies, with PEM electrolyzers projected to dominate the market by 2039. Additionally, substantial growth is anticipated in Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) and Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzers, with SOEC showing great potential for cost-effective hydrogen production. Notably, China's LONGi Hydrogen currently leads the market share among electrolyzer manufacturers, with a significant presence of manufacturers in Europe and the U.S. The study refutes claims of an overbuild of electrolyzer capacity, emphasizing the crucial role of electrolyzers in meeting the escalating demand for green hydrogen production. The forecast underscores the pivotal shift towards sustainable energy solutions and the vital role electrolyzers play in the global energy transition.
