Growing Adoption of Hydrogen Fuels Cell Vehicles Fuel North America Hydrogen Compressor Market
The rise in government investments in the development of hydrogen fuel infrastructure and incentives offered to the buyers are allowing the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to expand their revenue stream as well as their geographical presence. There is an increase in demand for low-emission and cost-efficient vehicles owing to associated government initiatives and a growing number of high-performance commercial vehicles across the globe. Numerous government policies have been deployed to reduce emissions by vehicles.For instance, in the US, the state of California dedicated funds for the development of 100 hydrogen refueling stations and is aiming to reach ~1.5 million zero-emission vehicles by 2025, driving the demand for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Due to rising concerns regarding the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation, several technologies have been developed and introduced in the market that favor the eco-friendly concept of sustainability. Similarly, rising awareness related to the effects of air pollution and the surge in greenhouse gas emissions is propelling the demand for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that offer higher fuel economy than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This vehicle has a fuel economy of more than 63 miles per gallon, while ICE vehicle has 29 miles per gallon on roads. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles enhance the fuel economy by approximately 3.2%.
Moreover, the fuel cell vehicles can travel approximately 300 miles without refueling.
For instance, the recently launched Honda Clarity offers a zero-emission vehicle in the US with a range of ~366 miles. Hence, achieving better fuel economy and increased driving range is driving the demand for hydrogen compressors. Globally, the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is increasing with government support and funding, which boosted investments in hydrogen fuel stations across the globe.
According to the Green Car Congress Organization, in 2022, more than 1,000 hydrogen fuel stations were deployed across the globe, and this is growing rapidly with an increase in government investment in hydrogen fuel projects. China has the largest, nearly one-third of the global deployments of hydrogen fuel stations, followed by the US and Japan according to the International Energy Agency. Thus, the growing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles drives the North America hydrogen compressor market.
North America Hydrogen Compressor Market Overview
The North America hydrogen compressor is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico, which have a significant demand for hydrogen compressors owing to the growth in the oil & gas sector. According to the Energy Information Administration in the US, crude oil production in 2022 reached a 0.6 million per day increase of 5.6% compared to 2021. Hydrogen compressor is used in petroleum refineries to ensure leakage-free compression of the oil and gas. In October 2023, Pemex Mexican oil and gas company announced its plan to invest ~US$ 9.2 billion for the expansion of its petroleum refineries.In North America, the US has the largest market share in 2022, owing to the rapid growth in the oil & gas sector, and is also expected to witness growth in drilling activities in the coming years. The government's growing investment in oil and gas projects in the region is likely to increase the demand for hydrogen compressors. Various oil & gas projects in North America are expected to boost the North America hydrogen compressor market growth.
For instance, the US Department of Energy planned to invest US$ 7 billion in launching the seven clean hydrogen hubs across the nation, and the government planned to accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of clean hydrogen. North America is witnessing significant growth in the renewable energy & power sector owing to growing demand for power transmission projects. Hydrogen compressors are used to compress and store energy efficiently. For instance, in November 2021, the US government passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and invested US$ 9.5 billion in the clean hydrogen project initiatives. This funding will help promote clean hydrogen production over the next five years.

Executive Summary
The hydrogen compressor market was valued at US$ 448.7 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 643.6 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2021 to 2028.Rising government investments in the development of hydrogen fuel infrastructure and increasing incentives offered to the buyers are allowing the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to expand their revenue stream and geographical presence. The increasing demand for low-emission and cost-efficient vehicles, owing to the government initiatives the demand is growing for high-performance commercial vehicles across North America. When burnt in a fuel cell, hydrogen is a clean fuel that creates water. Natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy can be used to produce hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen is emerging as a suitable transportation and power generation fuel. Till the end of October 2021, there were ~ 166 operational fuel cell electric power generators at 113 locations in the US, with a total capacity of ~ 260 megawatts (MW). As a result, hydrogen is being viewed as a fuel of the future, with its applications in various industries such as oil & gas, automotive, chemical, and renewable energy. These trends would provide a bright future for hydrogen compressor manufacturers, thereby propelling the hydrogen compressor market growth.
The North America hydrogen compressor market is predicted to grow due to factors such as increased hydrogen consumption by end-user industries and the construction of hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. Furthermore, there has been a major increase in the need for oil-based compressors in recent years. This is because oil-based compressors are more efficient than oil-free compressors as oil acts as a cooling medium, removing around 80% of the heat created by the compressor during compression. Hence, the increase in demand for oil-based compressors is likely to have a significant impact on hydrogen compressor market growth over the forecast period.
Several companies are developing and introducing new hydrogen compressor products. In addition, a number of significant competitors in the hydrogen compressor market are in the process of establishing agreements to create new hydrogen compressors based on cutting-edge technologies.
