2026 electrolyzer manufacturer ranking: top ten by 2025 China order volume
2026 electrolyzer manufacturer ranking, per Orange Hydrogen Database statistics for full-year 2025: awarded order volumes and technology routes for Sungrow Hydrogen, Huadian Technology, Peric Hydrogen, LONGi Hydrogen, and others, with scope and source annotated.
| # | Brand | Focus | Volume | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sungrow Hydrogen | Mainly ALK; dual ALK/PEM lineup | 433.7 MW (FY2025) | Includes lead share of the 320 MW ACME Oman green-ammonia hydrogen system | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 2 | Huadian Technology (华电科工) | ALK (Huadian Group's hydrogen equipment platform) | 390 MW (FY2025) | H2 Portal scope shows 375 MW — broadly consistent | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 3 | CSSC Peric Hydrogen | ALK + PEM (CSSC 718th Research Institute) | 374.05 MW (FY2025) | Orange notes data unverified; ranked first in GGII's 2024 shipment scope | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 4 | LONGi Hydrogen | ALK (large-capacity alkaline electrolyzers) | 248 MW (FY2025) | H2 Portal's public-tender scope shows 205 MW | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 5 | Shuangliang Hydrogen | ALK (Shuangliang Eco-Energy subsidiary) | 186 MW (FY2025) | Orange notes: counting the 360 MW Fuhai project would lift it to 546 MW and first place | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 6 | Qingqiji (青骐骥) | ALK | 165.51 MW (FY2025) | A GGII 2024 shipment top-ten company | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 7 | CRRC Zhuzhou Institute | ALK (with in-house hydrogen power supplies) | 164.5 MW (FY2025) | A TrendBank Jan–Sep 2025 public-tender top-five company | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 8 | SANY Hydrogen | ALK (1,000–3,000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzers) | 149 MW (FY2025) | Matches H2 Portal's public-tender scope; TrendBank shows 229 MW through September | Orange Hydrogen DB |
| 9 | Guofu Hydrogen (国富氢能) | ALK (hydrogen storage/transport equipment maker expanding upstream) | 135.6 MW (FY2025) | Orange Hydrogen DB | |
| 10 | Beijing Guoneng Longwei (北京国能龙威) | Technology route undisclosed | 110 MW (FY2025) | Orange notes data unverified | Orange Hydrogen DB |
Data sources
- Orange Hydrogen Database (香橙会) 135 public tender projects in 2025; 6,054.96 MW electrolyzer demand, +155.59% vs 2024; 5,117.41 MW awarded (incl. direct contracts) primary ranking basis — orders, not shipments
- H2 Portal (氢能汇) awarded + contracted + delivered scope; ranks Yijingxing first at 1,120 MW (owner-affiliated self-supply)
- TrendBank (势银) public procurement awards scope
- GGII (高工氢电) shipment scope; 2025 shipment top ten not yet published as of July 2026

Questions & answers
Which institution's data does this ranking use?
The main table follows the Orange Hydrogen Database (Orange Society Research Institute), based on 2025 full-year public tenders for water-electrolysis hydrogen equipment in China (including direct contracts), published January 2026 — cross-referenced against H2 Portal, TrendBank, and GGII.
Who ranked first in 2025 electrolyzer orders?
Sungrow Hydrogen (433.7 MW) in the Orange main-table scope. But Orange notes that counting Shuangliang Hydrogen's 360 MW Fuhai County award would lift Shuangliang to 546 MW and first place, and in H2 Portal's scope (awarded + contracted + delivered) Yijingxing leads at 1,120 MW.
Why do institutions' electrolyzer rankings differ?
Scopes differ: Orange counts public tenders (incl. direct contracts), H2 Portal counts awarded plus contracted plus delivered, TrendBank counts public procurement awards; treatment of overseas orders and owner-affiliated self-supply also differs. The same company can differ by multiples (Sungrow Hydrogen: 433.7 MW vs 156 MW).
Which technology route dominated 2025?
Alkaline (ALK), overwhelmingly: 96.67% of disclosed-route tender volume in Orange's scope (5,307.775 MW) and 91.13% of H2 Portal's order scope; PEM and AEM together were under 4%.
Why isn't the 1,120 MW Yijingxing order in the main table?
It supplies the Inner Mongolia 800 kt/yr green hydrogen-ammonia plant (phase one: 56 modular 2,000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzers; ~1,120 MW across two phases) through the project owner's wholly-owned subsidiary — owner-affiliated self-supply. H2 Portal ranks it first for 2025; Orange's public-tender table excludes it.
Where did electrolyzer prices land in 2025?
Per Century New Energy Network's full-2025 statistics (published January 2026), alkaline electrolyzer winning bids went as low as RMB 416/kW, with mainstream unit prices at roughly RMB 600–1,300/kW and complete systems at RMB 5–7M — below 2024's ~RMB 6.5M average.
