In addition, the refining industry is one of the major users of this gas. Refineries require large quantities of this for various processes, such as hydrocracking, hydrotreating, and catalytic reforming. Hence, such factors are driving electrolyzers market growth during the forecast period.

Key Market Drivers

Upsurge in decarbonization initiatives globally is notably driving the market growth. There is a rising global focus on reducing carbon emissions, resulting in a surge in demand for these gases. In addition, electrolyzers, particularly PEM and alkaline electrolyzers, are crucial for producing this gas from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

Moreover, as the demand for this gas increases, there is a trend toward scaling up electrolyzer capacity. In addition, manufacturers are investing in larger electrolyzer systems to meet the needs of industries such as transportation, chemical production, and power storage. Furthermore, these gases are widely used in the transport industry owing to its numerous environmental benefits, including the elimination of urban air pollution and the reduction of overall carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.  Hence, such factors are driving electrolyzers market growth during the forecast period.

Significance Market Challenges

The high cost of hydrogen production using electrolyzers is a major challenge hindering market growth. This is coupled with renewables, is considered a potentially key fuel source for replacing fossil fuels across power systems. In addition, the widespread usage of this gas as a fuel could reduce emissions from the power, industrial, and transport sectors, which are the major contributors to global emissions. However, a majority of production currently is obtained from processes that emit CO2.

Moreover, owing to their non-polluting nature, electrolyzers are one of the most efficient methods of hydrogen production among all other available technologies. However, electrolysis technology incurs a higher cost than other technologies, including SMR or biomass gasification. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting electrolyzers market growth. Therefore, it is expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
