Growing demand for superior quality and reliable supply for various industries, majorly in the commercial sectors are anticipated to be the primary regional drivers.

Drivers – Hydrogen Gas Market

·         Augmenting demand and production of fertilizer globally

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the global demand for phosphate fertilizer will be 118,763 thousand tons in 2020 as the organization projects that it will grow with a CAGR of 1.54% during the forecast period of 2015 to 2020. Fertilizers utilize ammonia in production, and hydrogen is a key component of the same. The future foresees growth of the agriculture industry which will play a vital role in fulfilling the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). This growth will create a demand influx the fertilizers market which will generate lucrative opportunities in the hydrogen gas market.

·         Growing demand of fuel cell electric vehicles

Under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, hydrogen is considered an alternative fuel. The interest in hydrogen as an alternative transport fuel stems from its ability to drive zero-emission FCEV fuel cells, its domestic production capacity, its quick filling time, and the high efficiency of the fuel cell.

Growing application of hydrogen gas as fuel cell in automotive sector is also enhancing overall growth of the market. The global fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) car stock have reached about 8,000 units in April 2018. The U.S represents the largest stock with 4,500 FCEV, mainly registered in California where zero emission vehicle program has driven the sales of the stock. On the other side, Japan has the second-largest FCEV stock with 2,400 units, followed by Germany and France. In APAC region, the consumption of hydrogen fuel cell can be majorly seen in trucks as well as passenger buses in China, about 2,000 mid-size trucks and 280 buses produced as of June 2018. Whereas, in Europe, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is conducting a new bus project which will contain 100% fuel cell usage, they are aiming to deploy around 300 buses in 20 cities by 2022.

·         Growth in semiconductor market

The semiconductor market was valued to be $426.4 billion as of 2018, and the demand for semiconductors is projected to observe a substantial CAGR of 5.88% over the forecast period of 2019 to 2025. Hydrogen is omnipresent during the growth and processing of semiconductors as it is used as a carrier gas. Perceptibly, the estimated growth in demand for semiconductors is poised to enhance growth prospects in the hydrogen gas market.

Challenges – Hydrogen Gas Market

·         High cost of fuel cell

Even though hydrogen has penetrated in many industries, but hydrogen fuel cells are still facing challenges due to their high capital cost. Furthermore, their installation cost is exorbitant which dwarfs the hydrogen market size. However, the vendors are trying to cut the cost by reducing the material or exploring low-cost material. Reducing the complexity of the integrated system and minimization of temperature constraints which adds cost to the system can ameliorate the problem. The future foresees streamlined manufacturing process with reduced footprints, and that will open up the floodgates in the hydrogen gas market.
