The global pink hydrogen market size was valued at USD 27.03 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 286.97 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 30.11% from 2025 to 2033. Pink hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced through electrolysis powered by nuclear energy, offering a zero-carbon alternative with high energy density and reliability.
As nations strive to meet decarbonization targets while ensuring a base-load energy supply, pink hydrogen emerges as a strategic solution in the clean hydrogen landscape. Growing investments in nuclear-powered electrolysis infrastructure, favorable government policies promoting hydrogen diversification, and the integration of hydrogen into industrial and transport applications are driving market growth. Additionally, advancements in high-temperature electrolysis technologies and rising collaborations between nuclear operators and hydrogen producers are expected to strengthen the market outlook. The stable nature of atomic energy positions pink hydrogen as a crucial element in long-term pink hydrogen strategies, particularly in regions with strong nuclear capacity and climate mandates.
The industry spans various applications to enable zero-carbon hydrogen production through nuclear-powered electrolysis. While green and blue hydrogen dominate many clean energy discussions, pink hydrogen presents a stable and scalable solution, particularly in regions with established nuclear capacity. It is critical in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry, chemical production, and long-haul transportation, where an uninterrupted hydrogen supply is vital. Its importance is further underscored in energy systems striving for round-the-clock clean power and deep emissions cuts.
Although traditional fossil-based hydrogen still holds a significant share, the shift toward cleaner hydrogen sources is accelerating. Countries such as the United States, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom are investing in nuclear-hydrogen pilot projects, advanced electrolysis technologies, and supportive policy frameworks. These developments, coupled with rising global commitments to net-zero targets, clean energy financing, and industrial decarbonization initiatives, are instrumental in shaping the future of pink hydrogen. As part of a diversified hydrogen portfolio, pink hydrogen is poised to advance sustainable and resilient energy ecosystems worldwide.
