The electrolyzers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The electrolyzers market has seen a robust growth in the past few years. The market size is predicted to rise from $0.35 billion in 2024 to $0.38 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
The rapid growth in the previous years can be credited to a rising demand for hydrogen as a clean energy source, policies and subsidies from the government, growing environmental consciousness, the spread of renewable energy sources, and early adopters engaging in pilot projects across several industries.
The electrolyzers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of electrolyzers is predicted to experience substantial expansion in the coming years, reaching a valuation of $0.54 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 8.9%.
This growth during the forecast period can be credited to a variety of factors such as the introduction of electrolyzers in aviation and maritime sectors, the broadening of the global hydrogen infrastructure, the combination of renewable energy projects with electrolyzers, stringent regulations focusing on the reduction of carbon emissions, and the heightened growth of power-to-gas systems utilization. The forecast period is also expected to witness significant trends such as the production of green hydrogen, decentralized hydrogen production, advancements in technology, production of green ammonia, and the application of hydrogen in transportation.
The upswing in the need for fuel cell-powered vehicles is considerably bolstering the expansion of the electrolyzers market. A vehicle propelled by fuel cells is an electric vehicle that employs hydrogen as a power source via a fuel cell that manufactures electricity. The electrolyzers facilitate the functioning of such vehicles by providing the necessary hydrogen as fuel. For example, the California Fuel Cell Partnership reported in September 2024 that the number of fuel cell vehicles purchased and leased in the United States peaked at 18,355 in 2024. As a result, this escalating demand for fuel cell-powered vehicles propels the growth of the electrolyzers market.
