Hydrogen Fueling Station Market

Hydrogen Fueling Station Market Size Analysis

According to a recent survey conducted by ChemView Consulting, the Global Hydrogen Fueling Station Market grew at a CAGR of 15.3% between 2017-2021 and is estimated to be US$ 317.4Mn in 2022. Currently, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 24.2% and is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 2,772.2Mn by 2032 end.

One of the most common industrial gases is hydrogen (H2), widely available in various chemical forms. The industry has quickly embraced several hydrogen generation techniques to create and sell H2 gas for multiple uses. To efficiently store and replenish liquefied or gaseous hydrogen, a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) is built with various compressors and accumulators.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles frequently make use of the chemical (FCEVs). The H2 fuel is a direct replacement for cars that run on fossil fuels because it only emits heat and water vapor as waste products. It drives trains, planes, ships, and various-sized passenger carriages and operates light and heavy-duty vehicles.

Market Dynamic

RAPIDLY GROWING DEMAND FOR HYDROGEN-POWERED AUTOMOTIVE TO PROPEL GROWTH

Consumers’ growing propensity to use different kinds of zero-emission automobiles opens up new business opportunities. Numerous small- and large-scale automakers have launched new initiatives to increase FCEV adoption and help the shift toward the decarbonization of the automotive industry. In the coming ten years, green trucks will become more affordable and accessible because of ongoing improvements in fuel technologies and zero-emission cars, according to a March 2022 report by the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Increased usage of fuel-cell electric vehicles in the trucking business will help to expedite the adoption of electric cars, address the climate issue, and boost local manufacturing while also helping to decarbonize the country’s transportation sector.

SIGNIFICANT INITIAL EXPENDITURE MAY LIMIT MARKET GROWTH

HRS facilities must be built with various cryogenic and non-cryogenic components to handle highly volatile hydrogen fuel, costing significant expenses. The prognosis for the hydrogen fueling station industry may be hindered by high startup costs for new projects and the complicated administration of bulk capacity stations handling and delivering a big amount of H2.

INCREASING INVESTMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED COMPONENTS TO POSITIVELY SHAPE THE INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Creating a new hydrogen filling station requires a wide range of handling and processing equipment to dispense successfully at the appropriate rates. Many scale component producers have made substantial efforts to improve their manufacturing capacities and roll out cutting-edge technologies that will open up new prospects for expanding the global hydrogen fueling station market.

For instance, Lotte Chemical and Air Liquide Korea established a joint venture in May 2022 to extend the South Korean hydrogen supply chain for automobiles. Large-scale hydrogen fuelling stations will be built by enterprises in Ulsan and Daesan.
