Hydrogen Fueling Station Global Market Report 2024

The hydrogen fueling station market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.62 billion in 2023 to $0.77 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to collaborative efforts within the industry, initiatives focused on standardization, goals related to energy transition, the implementation of hydrogen highway projects, and the establishment of public-private partnerships.

The hydrogen fueling station market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to factors such as economic conditions, increasing consumer awareness and acceptance, fluctuations in energy prices, and the adoption rates of fuel cell vehicles. Noteworthy trends expected during this forecast period encompass international collaboration, urbanization influencing fleet transitions, developments in hydrogen supply chains, and the expansion of infrastructure to support hydrogen-related activities.

The projected increase in demand for zero-emission vehicles is set to drive the growth of the hydrogen fueling station market. Zero-emission vehicles, which do not produce internal combustion engine exhaust or other carbon emissions during operation, are gaining popularity due to heightened concerns about environmental sustainability and government regulations focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean transportation. Hydrogen fueling stations play a pivotal role in facilitating the efficient and sustainable operation of zero-emission vehicles, particularly fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). These stations provide a convenient refueling experience akin to traditional gasoline stations, allowing FCEV drivers to fill up their tanks within minutes. As of January 2024, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers reported a significant year-on-year increase of 72% in fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) sales in China, reaching approximately 6,000 units in 2023. The Chinese government's ambitious targets further underline the growth potential, aiming for 50,000 FCEVs on the road and 100,000-200,000 metric tons of annual renewable hydrogen production capacity by 2025. The escalating demand for zero-emission vehicles is a key driver propelling the hydrogen fueling station market.

Prominent companies in the hydrogen fueling station market are actively engaged in the development of innovative technologies, such as automatic mobile hydrogen stations, to enhance their market profitability. Automatic mobile hydrogen stations, designed to be movable and deployable, offer temporary refueling solutions in areas without fixed hydrogen fueling infrastructure or during events, emergencies, or construction projects. In September 2021, Atawey, a France-based provider of hydrogen mobility refueling solutions, launched a groundbreaking mobile hydrogen station. This deployable station, requiring only half a day for setup, features automated processes and intuitive controls, making hydrogen refueling accessible anytime and anywhere. It serves diverse markets, including vehicle testing, construction sites, events, and as a temporary or backup station for projects or maintenance. The solution accelerates hydrogen mobility deployment, catering to various vehicle refueling needs.

A hydrogen fueling station is a facility specifically designed to provide hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cells. These stations typically undertake the compression and storage of hydrogen gas on-site, dispensing it to vehicles either in the form of compressed hydrogen gas or as a liquid.

Hydrogen fueling stations are primarily categorized into fixed hydrogen stations and mobile hydrogen stations. A fixed hydrogen fueling station is a stationary facility established to dispense hydrogen fuel to vehicles. Typically integrated into existing fueling infrastructure, it provides a permanent and convenient refueling solution for hydrogen-powered vehicles in specific locations, such as urban centers or along highways. These fixed stations offer comprehensive solutions, including engineering, procurement, construction, and various components. They come in different sizes, ranging from small to medium and large, catering to diverse needs. Supply types vary between on-site and off-site, serving a range of end users, including marine, railways, commercial vehicles, and aviation.
