DUBLIN, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Hydrogen Market by Sector (Generation Type (Gray, Blue, Green), Storage (Physical, Material), Transportation (Long, Short)), Application (Energy (Power, CHP), Mobility, Chemical & Refinery (Refinery, Ammonia, Methanol)), and Region - Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global hydrogen market is on track to experience remarkable growth, with projections indicating a rise from $242.7 billion in 2023 to a staggering $410.6 billion by 2030. This substantial expansion, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.8% during the forecast period, is attributed to the proactive measures taken by governments worldwide.

Governments are actively implementing regulations and providing financial incentives to promote the adoption of hydrogen technologies. These initiatives encompass substantial funding for research and development, subsidies to support hydrogen production and infrastructure, and the enactment of legislation aimed at encouraging hydrogen utilization across diverse industries.

Key Highlights:

Gray Hydrogen Leads the Generation Type:

The hydrogen market is categorized into generation types, with gray hydrogen being the largest segment. Blue hydrogen follows closely, as countries and companies prioritize reducing their carbon footprint. Blue hydrogen serves as a transition solution, allowing the utilization of existing natural gas infrastructure while transitioning to a more sustainable energy source.

Physical Storage Takes the Lead:

In terms of storage, physical storage is set to dominate the hydrogen market during the forecast period. The surge in demand for gaseous hydrogen storage tanks, driven by stringent regulations for cleaner fuel in oil refineries and increasing demand in sectors like fertilizer, chemicals, and steel industries, contributes to this growth. Physical hydrogen storage finds widespread applications in transportation, chemicals, oil refineries, and various other industries.

Chemical & Refinery Dominates Applications:

Among different applications, the chemical & refinery segment is expected to emerge as the largest during the forecast period. The fertilizer industry's rising demand, coupled with emerging hydrogen economies in the chemical sector, fueled by policy initiatives at both European and national levels, are key drivers. Notably, the sector envisions a required investment of € 430 billion by 2030.

Asia-Pacific Takes the Second Spot:

Asia-Pacific secures the second-largest market share in the global hydrogen market between 2023 and 2030, following Europe and North America. Governments in the region are actively pursuing green technology adoption to meet stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. Notably, Japan and South Korea have made substantial investments in fuel cell adoption since 2009. Increased investments in the energy sector further enhance the prospects of the hydrogen generation market in Asia-Pacific.
