This Hydrogen Compressor market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The hydrogen compressor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.03 billion in 2024 to $2.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in emphasis on green hydrogen production and storage, expansion of hydrogen fueling infrastructure for transportation, increased use of hydrogen in industrial applications, government initiatives and policies promoting hydrogen economy, rise in investment in renewable energy and hydrogen production.
The hydrogen compressor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of hydrogen in energy storage and grid balancing applications, demand for high-pressure hydrogen for industrial processes and power generation, research and development in next-generation hydrogen compression technology, focus on decentralized hydrogen production and distribution, expansion of hydrogen-powered mobility and fuel cell applications. Major trends in the forecast period include high-efficiency diaphragm and piston compressors, oil-free and contamination-free compression systems, modular and skid-mounted compression units, adoption of lightweight and high-strength materials, cryogenic compression for liquid hydrogen.
The hydrogen compressor market is poised for growth due to an increase in demand for hydrogen from various end-use industries. Sectors like household energy distribution, oil & gas, and power generation are making significant investments in new hydrogen distribution and generation plants to fulfill consumer demand and align with government initiatives addressing environmental pollution. An example is the HyDeploy project in the UK, a groundbreaking hydrogen trial at Keele University led by Cadent in partnership with Northern Gas Networks (NGN), injecting zero-carbon hydrogen into the gas grid to serve approximately 100 houses and 30 faculty buildings. This surge in hydrogen demand from end-use industries is expected to drive the hydrogen compressor market during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of fuel-cell vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the hydrogen compressors market in the future. A fuel-cell car is an electric vehicle that produces electricity for propulsion through a fuel cell, utilizing hydrogen as its fuel source. These vehicles are more efficient than conventional internal combustion engines and do not emit harmful exhaust gases. The rising popularity of fuel-cell cars is contributing to the expansion of hydrogen compressors. For example, in January 2024, a report from InsideEVs, a US-based automotive podcast, indicated that 2,968 hydrogen fuel cell cars were sold in 2023, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year. Thus, the increasing adoption of fuel-cell cars is fueling the growth of the hydrogen compressor engine market.
Key players in the hydrogen compressor market are continually innovating and launching advanced technologies to address the increasing demand for hydrogen fuel solutions. For example, in January 2024, Howden, a UK-based company, unveiled a new hydrogen diaphragm compressor specifically designed for high-pressure hydrogen refueling stations. This state-of-the-art compressor is intended to improve efficiency and reliability in hydrogen fuel applications, aligning with the rising demand for clean energy solutions. Howden's hydrogen diaphragm compressor is equipped with high-pressure capabilities, inter-stage cooling, condensate purging, and a Free Floating Piston system to enhance both efficiency and reliability.
Major companies in the hydrogen compressor market are emphasizing the introduction of skid-mounted hydrogen compressors to maximize their market revenues. Skid-mounted compressors are designed for easy transportation and installation, offering a practical solution for various industries such as automotive, food processing, chemical production, and fuel cell systems. In August 2023, CIMC Enric launched a skid-mounted hydrogen compressor, enhancing the overall solution capability of hydrogen energy while ensuring cost-effectiveness and low maintenance requirements for industrial applications.
