Hydrogen Generator Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2030

Global Hydrogen Generator Market: Overview

A hydrogen generator is a device that produces hydrogen from fossil fuels and water with the help of different processes like electrolysis and steam reforming. It adopts a proton exchange membrane method to manufacture high purity hydrogen, and this technology was first adopted by NASA to generate electricity for spacecraft. These hydrogen generators are widely used for different end-user applications like petroleum recovery, refining fuel cells, and chemical processing.

Global Hydrogen Generator Market: Growth Factors

The global hydrogen generator market is expected to surpass $2.2 billion with a CAGR of 5.7 % during the forecast period. One of the key factors driving the growth of the global hydrogen generator market is the rising awareness among people regarding zero-emission and eco-friendly vehicles, which is significantly leading to the innovation of advanced hydrogen vehicles. Hydrogen vehicles are fueled by electricity generated from the combination of oxygen and hydrogen, referred to as fuel cells. Additionally, there is a significant growth in demand for fuel cells in the automotive sector, thereby fostering the manufacturing of enormous hydrogen generators. Chemical processing is one of the finest uses of hydrogen generators, where hydrogen is used for producing different chemical products on a mass scale. In addition, the high demand for different ammonia fertilizers is another key driver for the growth of the global hydrogen generator market. The growing population globally is also fueling the demand for raw materials and chemicals, which in turn is likely to create several lucrative growth opportunities in the global market. Hydrogen is also used to lower the sulfur content in refineries, diesel fuels and also extract some materials in which hydrogen functions as a catalyst to manufacture naphtha into superior quality octane products. Hydrogen is extracted from refining heavy oil in the partial oxidation process that lowers the pollution produced by fuels. Therefore, the growing concerns regarding greenhouse emissions and simultaneously growing demand for fossil fuel and energy are further strengthening the growth of the electrolysis process that works with the help of hydrogen generators. The development of advanced technology and the growth in electrical efficiency of these hydrogen generators is also likely to foster development in the global hydrogen generator market. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the global hydrogen generator market. On the one hand, there was a downtrend in the automotive sector, but the growing initiatives by the global leaders on lowering the greenhouse emission and growing focus on clean energy like hydrogen gas has fueled its demand in the forthcoming years.
