The power-to-hydrogen market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.65 billion in 2025 to $2.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to renewable energy surplus generation, decarbonization policies, industrial hydrogen demand, pilot hydrogen projects, government subsidy programs.
The power-to-hydrogen market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to green hydrogen mandates, hydrogen mobility expansion, grid scale energy storage needs, carbon reduction targets, large scale electrolyzer investments. Major trends in the forecast period include gigawatt scale electrolyzer installations, hybrid renewable powered electrolysis, modular electrolyzer skid systems, onsite hydrogen production units, integrated hydrogen storage coupling.
The increasing demand for green steel is anticipated to drive the expansion of the power-to-hydrogen market in the years ahead. Green steel is defined as steel manufactured through low-carbon or carbon-neutral production methods that substantially reduce or completely avoid CO₂ emissions when compared with traditional steelmaking processes. This demand is being fueled by the urgency to lower industrial carbon emissions, as governments and industries pursue low-emission materials to achieve climate objectives and comply with tightening environmental regulations. Power-to-hydrogen is a key enabler of green steel production, as it provides renewable hydrogen for hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) processes, where hydrogen substitutes fossil fuels during iron ore reduction. For example, in September 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization specializing in global energy security, policy analysis, and sustainable transitions, hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) steel projects worldwide account for more than 20 million tonnes per year of potential low-emission steel capacity by 2030, underscoring the accelerating momentum of hydrogen-driven steel production. Therefore, the rising demand for green steel is contributing to the growth of the power-to-hydrogen market.
Leading companies operating in the power-to-hydrogen market are increasingly focused on developing advanced, scalable electrolyzer technologies to improve cost efficiency and flexibility in hydrogen production. Scalable electrolyzer technologies include modular and adaptable systems such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) and anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers, which can be configured for different production capacities and applications while reducing reliance on expensive catalysts and lowering operational costs. For example, in November 2024, Shakti Photon Solutions, an India-based company, showcased scalable PEM and AEM electrolyzers capable of producing hydrogen at rates ranging from 500 ml/min to 10,000 ml/min, targeting research, pilot, and modular deployment applications. The company reported approximately a 30% reduction in catalyst costs by minimizing the use of platinum and iridium oxide, enhancing economic viability. These systems are designed to support modular scaling, reduced maintenance requirements, and flexible output, making them suitable for integration into a wide range of hydrogen production and fuel cell development use cases, thereby supporting broader adoption of power-to-hydrogen technologies.
In October 2025, Baker Hughes, a U.S.-based energy technology solutions provider, acquired Chart Industries for $13.6 billion. Through this acquisition, Baker Hughes seeks to reinforce its presence across the hydrogen value chain by integrating its global energy services operations with Chart’s engineering capabilities in cryogenic and gas-handling technologies to enable end-to-end hydrogen production, transportation, and storage solutions. Chart Industries is a U.S.-based manufacturer of cryogenic and liquefied gas systems, supplying equipment and solutions for liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, and CO₂ capture applications.

Tariffs are affecting the power to hydrogen market by increasing the cost of imported electrolyzer stacks, power electronics, and hydrogen processing equipment. Higher import duties are raising capital expenditure for green hydrogen plants and integrated electrolysis projects. Regions relying on imported electrolyzer technology and balance of plant systems are facing slower project closures and financing gaps. Large centralized plants are more exposed due to higher equipment import volumes. Smaller decentralized systems are also seeing cost sensitivity. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local electrolyzer manufacturing and regional supply partnerships. This is supporting domestic hydrogen technology ecosystems and localized production capacity.

Power-to-hydrogen refers to the process of converting electrical energy, primarily from renewable sources, into hydrogen via water electrolysis, facilitating energy storage, sector coupling, and decarbonization in power, transport, and industrial sectors. It involves the deployment and operation of electrolyzer units, balance-of-plant equipment, power electronics, and supporting systems that transform surplus or dedicated electricity into hydrogen for energy storage, grid stabilization, industrial feedstock substitution, mobility, and electricity generation.
The main product types of power-to-hydrogen include gray hydrogen, blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, turquoise hydrogen, and pink hydrogen. Gray hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced from fossil fuels without capturing the resulting carbon emissions. These solutions employ various electrolyzer technologies, including alkaline electrolyzer, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, solid oxide electrolyzer, and anion exchange membrane electrolyzer, and are deployed across different system sizes and integrations, such as centralized gigawatt-scale plants, decentralized megawatt-scale units, and behind-the-meter integration. They are used in multiple applications, including energy storage and grid balancing, industrial feedstock substitution, mobility and transport, and gas grid injection, and serve diverse end-users, such as chemical, refining, steel, mobility, utilities, and other end-users.
