The Asia-Pacific PEM electrolyzer market (excluding China) is projected to reach $306.7 million by 2031 from $14.7 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 40.1% during the forecast period 2022-2031. PEM electrolyzer demand is expected to soar in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) area due to growing demands from a variety of end-use industries, such as methanol manufacturing, transportation, power and energy storage, ammonia production, and refining. A significant increase in the use of PEM electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen is anticipated, supported by significant investments in renewable energy sources from both public and commercial sectors. However, in the near future, the lack of hydrogen-related infrastructure, such as storage and transportation facilities, may hinder the region's PEM electrolyzer market's expansion.

Market Introduction

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer sales are currently expanding in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market due to a number of important factors. The market is expected to develop primarily because to the growing popularity of fuel cell vehicles and the increased focus on decarbonization and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The need for ecologically friendly fuels is also anticipated to increase due to a spike in demand from a variety of end-user industries and the introduction of stronger government laws targeted at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The growing need for green hydrogen is expected to propel the growth trajectory of the worldwide PEM electrolyzer market, which is also expected to gain from it. PEM electrolyzers are becoming more and more necessary as a result of fuel cell electric vehicles.

Executive Summary

The Asia-Pacific PEM electrolyzer market (excluding China) is estimated to reach $306.7 million by 2031, reveals the premium market intelligence study. The study also highlights that the market is set to witness a CAGR of 40.1% during the forecast period 2022-2031.

The Asia-Pacific PEM Electrolyzer Market: Drivers and Challenges

One of the biggest consumers of hydrogen worldwide is the Asia-Pacific region. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China and India, the two largest consumers, used 17 and 4 million tons of H2 for ammonia and methanol production units, respectively, in 2021, accounting for half of the world's industrial hydrogen demand. Therefore, it is anticipated that the growth of the PEM electrolyzer market in the region is anticipated to be driven by the rising demand for hydrogen from the ammonia and methanol industries as well as the rising demand for low carbon hydrogen during the forecast period.

One of the main obstacles to the expansion of the PEM electrolyzer market in the area is the lack of adequate infrastructure for the hydrogen economy and the high cost of renewable energy. Energy is required for the energy-intensive process of producing green hydrogen, and renewable energy sources are used to meet this need. The region's PEM electrolyzer market is experiencing a decline due to a lack of grid installation for the transmission of energy from the power plant to the electrolyzer stack.
