According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Green Hydrogen Market is accounted for $10.9 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $101.9 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 37.5% during the forecast period. Green hydrogen is hydrogen gas produced through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. This process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen without generating carbon emissions, distinguishing it from grey or blue hydrogen derived from fossil fuels. As a clean energy carrier, green hydrogen is critical to decarbonizing sectors like transportation, industry, and power generation. Its scalability and role in storing intermittent renewable energy make it a cornerstone of global transition toward net-zero emissions.
According to Joule, producing green hydrogen via electrolysis powered by renewable energy can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to grey hydrogen from natural gas. According to the same study, the energy efficiency of modern electrolyzers for green hydrogen production can reach around 70%.
Global decarbonization goals and net-zero commitments
Governments worldwide are implementing stringent climate policies, setting ambitious emission reduction targets, and investing heavily in renewable energy infrastructure. Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using solar, wind, or hydro power, is gaining traction as a scalable solution for hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, chemicals, and transportation. Its versatility as both a fuel and feedstock makes it central to long-term energy transition strategies. As nations seek to diversify energy portfolios and reduce fossil fuel dependence, green hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone of future energy systems.
Scalability challenges of electrolyzers
Current systems often require high capital investment and complex integration with renewable energy sources. Manufacturing bottlenecks, limited availability of critical materials like iridium and platinum, and inconsistent performance across varying load conditions further constrain deployment. Additionally, the lack of standardized designs and modular solutions hampers widespread adoption. These scalability issues pose risks to cost-efficiency and long-term viability, especially in regions with fluctuating renewable energy supply.
New export markets and international trade
The emergence of green hydrogen as a globally tradable commodity is unlocking new economic opportunities. Countries with abundant renewable resources such as Australia, Chile, and Saudi Arabia are positioning themselves as future exporters, while energy-deficient nations like Japan and South Korea are investing in import infrastructure. Bilateral agreements, green hydrogen corridors, and certification frameworks are being developed to facilitate cross-border trade. This shift is expected to stimulate investment in hydrogen hubs, port infrastructure, and liquefaction technologies, creating a robust international supply chain.
Safety concerns and public perception
Hydrogen's flammability and high diffusivity raise safety concerns that can hinder public acceptance and regulatory approvals. Incidents involving leaks or explosions-even if rare-can generate negative media coverage and erode stakeholder confidence. Moreover, the lack of widespread understanding about hydrogen's properties and benefits contributes to skepticism among consumers and policymakers. Without proactive engagement and education, public resistance could slow down project approvals and delay market expansion.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dual impact on the green hydrogen sector. On one hand, supply chain disruptions and project delays affected electrolyzer manufacturing and renewable energy installations, slowing down deployment timelines. On the other hand, the crisis underscored the importance of resilient and sustainable energy systems, prompting governments to include green hydrogen in post-pandemic recovery plans. Stimulus packages and green investment frameworks accelerated pilot projects and R&D initiatives.
The hydroelectric power segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The hydroelectric power segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its consistent energy output and low operational costs. Unlike solar and wind, hydro offers stable electricity generation, making it ideal for continuous electrolysis processes. Regions with established hydro infrastructure such as Canada, Norway, and parts of Asia are leveraging this advantage to scale hydrogen production. The segment benefits from mature grid connectivity and minimal intermittency, ensuring reliable hydrogen yields.
The alkaline electrolyzer segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the alkaline electrolyzer segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate driven by their cost-effectiveness and proven technology base. These systems use readily available materials and offer longer operational lifespans, making them attractive for large-scale industrial applications. Recent advancements in membrane design and stack efficiency are enhancing performance, while modular configurations are improving scalability. Their compatibility with fluctuating renewable inputs further supports widespread adoption.
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share fueled by aggressive decarbonization targets and abundant renewable energy resources. Countries like China, India, Japan, and Australia are investing in hydrogen infrastructure, electrolyzer manufacturing, and export capabilities. Government-backed initiatives, such as India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Japan's Hydrogen Roadmap, are catalyzing regional growth. The region's industrial base and rising energy demand make it a prime candidate for hydrogen integration across sectors.
Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR attributed to favorable policy frameworks and technological innovation. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and Canada's Clean Hydrogen Strategy are incentivizing production, infrastructure development, and end-use adoption. Major players are launching gigawatt-scale projects, while startups are pioneering novel electrolyzer designs and hydrogen storage solutions. The region's strong R&D ecosystem and venture capital support are accelerating commercialization.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Green Hydrogen Market include Air Liquide, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., Linde plc, Siemens Energy AG, Cummins Inc, Plug Power Inc, Nel ASA, ITM Power plc, McPhy Energy S.A., ENGIE SA, Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), Iberdrola SA, Shell plc, BP plc, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, Reliance Industries Limited and Yara International ASA.
In July 2025, ENGIE commissioned the largest wind farm in the Middle East and Africa, situated in Egypt, marking a milestone in regional renewables deployment. The project adds substantial capacity to ENGIE's global 8.5 GW+ wind and battery portfolio under construction.
In June 2025, Plug Power and Allied Green signed a new 2 GW electrolyzer deal in Uzbekistan, expanding their prior partnership to a total 5 GW global capacity. The agreement supports green ammonia production and represents Plug Power's growing footprint in Central Asia's hydrogen market.
In February 2025, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies announced a joint €1 billion investment to build two large electrolyzers in the Netherlands (200 MW in Rotterdam, 250 MW in Zeeland). These plants are expected to produce over 45,000 tons/year of green hydrogen from offshore wind, cutting ~450,000 tons of CO2 from refineries.
