What are the major drivers contributing to the growth of the water electrolysis market?
The rising demand for hydrogen production is expected to propel the growth of the water electrolysis market going forward. Hydrogen production refers to the process of generating hydrogen gas through various methods such as electrolysis, steam methane reforming, and biomass gasification. Hydrogen production is driven by the growing global emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. Water electrolysis helps in hydrogen production by using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, providing a clean and sustainable way to generate hydrogen fuel, especially when powered by renewable energy sources. For instance, in July 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, low-emission hydrogen production made up less than 1% of total hydrogen output in 2022, despite a 5% increase from 2021, reflecting gradual progress towards cleaner hydrogen production. Therefore, the rising demand for hydrogen production is driving the growth of the water electrolysis market.
