North America Market Forecast

North America hydrochloric acid electrolysis market is set to dominate revenue share of around 34.5% by the end of 2037. The green hydrogen trend, high demand for renewable energy systems, and technological advancements in electrolysis solutions are contributing to the overall HCL electrolysis market growth. The strict regulations on carbon emission and the strong presence of oil and gas production facilities are further augmenting demand for hydrochloric acid electrolysis technologies in both the U.S. and Canada.

The U.S.’s increasing investments in green hydrogen production are driving the sales of hydrochloric acid electrolysis technologies. This is major backed by the sustainability initiatives and energy transition goals. The growing interest in renewable energy sources for hydrogen production is also driving the demand for hydrochloric acid electrolysis solutions. According to the U.S. DOE, around 10 million metric tons (MMT) of hydrogen is produced in the country annually. In support of the Hydrogen Energy Earthshot goal of mitigating the price of clean hydrogen by 80.0% to USD 1/1 kg in a decade, the Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office is concentrated on the production of solutions, which can develop hydrogen at USD 2 per 1 kg by 2026 and USD 1 per 1 kg by 2031.

The strong presence of oil reserves in Canada is fueling the use of hydrochloric acid electrolysis technologies. The booming production cycle is augmenting the application of hydrochloric acid electrolysis methods in oil and gas plants. The Canadian Centre for Energy Information states that the country to the major producer of oil and gas, worldwide. Crude oil contributes to 41.0% of the total primary energy production in 2022. Furthermore, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that oil production captured nearly 51.7% of the total energy production in Canada, in 2022.
