The demand for PEM water electrolyzers has been increasing in recent years due to their rapid adoption in various application sectors, such as power plants, steel plants, electronics and photovoltaics, industrial gases, energy storage, or fueling for FCEV's (fuel cell electric vehicles), and others.
PEM Water Electrolyzers are devices that split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity in an electrochemical process. The demand for PEM Water Electrolyzers has been increasing in recent years due to their rapid adoption in various application sectors such as power plants, steel plants, electronics and photovoltaics, industrial gases, energy storage, or fueling for FCEV's (fuel cell electric vehicles), and others.
Electronics and Photovoltaics is one of the applications where electrolyzers are used. PEM water electrolyzers have several advantages over alkaline non-aqueous, acidic aqueous, or molten salt electrochemical cells for use in certain technologies such as solar fuel generation systems. This is because PEM electrolyzers only produce hydrogen and oxygen as by-products, whereas other technologies such as alkaline non-aqueous cells or molten salt electrochemical cells result in the production of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) which reduces their environmental friendliness.
On basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
North America is expected to occupy the largest share of the PEM water electrolyzer market in 2016. The growth is attributed to the increasing demand for clean energy and a growing number of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) stations, which require hydrogen as a source of fuel.
Europe holds the second position in the global PEM water electrolyzer market by region during the forecast period 2017-2030 due to the presence of a large number of manufacturing facilities related to the automotive industry across Europe. New legislation on carbon emissions imposed by European Union countries is likely to drive the adoption rate of PEMwater Electrolyzers over the next few years.
The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region supported mainly by rapid industrialization and a growing population base coupled with government mandates regarding the deployment of renewable technologies such as solar or wind power generation.
Latin America is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the next eight years owing to the growing number of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) stations over the region which requires hydrogen as a source of fuel.
