The global electrolyzer market was valued at $3 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $34.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 27.2% from 2023 to 2032.
An electrolyzer is a system of devices used to electrolyze water. Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyzer by means of electricity. There are several methods for electrolysis, including the solid oxide electrolysis method, the proton exchange membrane (PEM), and the alkaline method. 99.99% pure hydrogen is produced by electrolysis and is kept in either liquid or gaseous form. It is employed in the production of fuel cells found in electric cars.
Net-Zero 2030 Scenario and electrolyzer
The current pipeline of projects in development and their anticipated dates of operation suggest that by the end of 2023, worldwide electrolysis capacity could approach 3 GW, which would be a more than four-fold increase in overall capacity over 2022. By 2030, the combined potential of all ongoing projects might result in a global electrolysis capacity of 170-365 GW. With half of the capacity combined, Europe and Australia lead the way, followed by Latin America with about 15% of the projects that have been announced. However, there is still a great deal of ambiguity around the development of these projects. The primary obstacles are the following: a lack of clarity on regulation and certification, an inability to supply hydrogen to the final customer, and, in the case of emerging economies, extremely limited access to finances. Alkaline and PEM technologies are commercially available, while SOEC and anion exchange membrane technologies are maturing.
In 2022, the capacity of the world to produce electrolyzers increased by more than 25%, reaching about 11 GW annually. Of the world's manufacturing capacity, two thirds come from Europe and China. Even with deployments linked to chlor-alkali applications, this technology's global manufacturing capacity is currently mostly underutilized due to the capacity increases of electrolyzers for specialized hydrogen production in the order of tens to hundreds of MW in the last few years. Due to the current growth of the industry (more big-scale projects are being announced), predictions of future demand growth, and the fact that purchasing large manufacturing facilities is a long-term choice, manufacturers have begun to increase their production capacity.
Recent Market Developments
In October 2022, Cummins Inc., expanded its new gigawatt electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, reaffirming the company's commitment to expanding the green hydrogen economy in Europe and globally.
