Hydrogen Fueling Station Market Report 2026

The hydrogen fueling station market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.95 billion in 2025 to $1.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early fuel cell vehicle deployment, government pilot hydrogen projects, initial clean mobility investments, demonstration of hydrogen technologies, public sector funding support.

The hydrogen fueling station market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of hydrogen powered vehicles, decarbonization of transport sector, national hydrogen roadmaps, investments in green hydrogen production, expansion of commercial fuel cell fleets. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, growing deployment of fixed hydrogen stations, rising adoption of mobile hydrogen fueling solutions, increasing integration with fuel cell vehicle fleets, rising investment in large scale hydrogen stations.

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.

Leading companies in the hydrogen fueling station market are investing in innovative technologies like automatic mobile hydrogen stations to boost their profitability. These mobile stations are designed to be portable and flexible, providing temporary refueling options in areas lacking permanent hydrogen fueling infrastructure or in settings like events, emergencies, or construction sites. For example, in June 2024, Honda, a Japanese manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, and power equipment, introduced the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV. This model features a fuel cell system with plug-in EV charging capability and a driving range of 270 miles (435 km), plus an additional 29 miles (47 km) on battery power. Such advancements promote the expanded use of hydrogen mobility, meeting diverse vehicle refueling requirements.

In July 2024, Atawey S.A., a France-based hydrogen distribution equipment company, acquired McPhy’s hydrogen refueling station business for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Atawey sought to reinforce its leadership in the European hydrogen refueling infrastructure market by expanding its production capacity, technological capabilities, and installed station network. McPhy Energy S.A. was a France-based hydrogen technology unit specializing in the design, manufacturing, and deployment of hydrogen refueling station solutions as part of its broader clean hydrogen equipment portfolio.
