The global water electrolyzer market size is expected to be USD 263.4 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 1188.18 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 18.2% during the forecast period.

Water electrolyzer or the electrolysis of water, is globally also recognized by the term of electrochemical water splitting. Furthermore, this is the method of consuming electric currents to putrefy water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen gas through a procedure termed as electrolysis of water. Moreover, through this practice of electrolysis of water molecules the water electrolyzer technique produces hydrogen gas, as the water molecule is break down in to H+ and OH- ions when the electricity stream is circulated throughout the water substance and its molecules.

On the other hand, the water electrolyzer is segmented into two diverse types of electrolyzers such as a traditional alkaline electrolyzer and a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer. Firstly, a traditional liquid alkaline electrolyzer is inclusive with and functions with an exceedingly concentrated electrolyte emulsion and at significantly lower pressure level. Moreover, the traditional alkaline electrolyzer necessitates a supplementary refinement and density measures to ensure and manufacture above average value of gas at an elevated output pressure level. However, this type of traditional alkaline electrolyzer is merely cost effective for consolidated and low exchange rates of ion procedures. Whereas, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is mainly consumed as a greenhouse resource to produce highly concentration levels of the hydrogen gas. Furthermore, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer exhausts an unyielding polymer electrolyte, as when the electric current is operated on the cell mass, the water molecules divergences into two the oxygen and the hydrogen protons. Additionally, which molecules would gorge amid the membrane to structure into a hydrogen gas on the cathode surface area.

COVID-19 Impact: Closure on Numerous Business Hampered Product Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the water electrolyzer market experiencing lower-than anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had harshly influenced the power plants, steel plants, electronics and photovoltaics, industrial gases, energy storage or fueling for FCEV's, power to gas and other uncountable industries and their markets. Furthermore, several emerging, developing and developed regions had guided their focus towards the increasing investments towards greener energy, which consumed hydrogen and benefitted the market. However, with the relentless spread of the COVID-19 virus these investments were all diverted towards the pharmaceutical sectors as international governments, researchers and scientists aimed to develop a cure to combat the virus, as COVID-19 cases were at a rise.

LATEST TRENDS

"Surging Consumption Rates of Green Energy to Augment Growth"

The rising concern on a global scale is the rising amount of pollution and with the utilization of hydrogen, it combats this concern as it is a vital replacement for fossil fuels. Furthermore, hydrogen is being recognized as a green energy source because it is zero carbon emissions and is very sustainable. Hence, this increasing usage of hydrogen is creating a trend and side by side giving rise to higher demand from consumers in the power plants, steel plants, electronics and photovoltaics, industrial gases, energy storage or fueling for FCEV's, power to gas and other end consuming industries.
