MARKET CHALLENGES
Despite strong growth prospects, the high cost of production remains a significant barrier to market expansion. Additionally, complex and expensive storage and transportation infrastructure pose major challenges for players in this market. Addressing these infrastructure limitations will be crucial for widespread adoption of green hydrogen technologies.
SEGMENT INSIGHTS
The global green hydrogen market is segmented by generation process (proton exchange membrane electrolysis, alkaline electrolysis, solid oxide electrolysis), energy source (wind, solar, hydropower, other energy sources), application (fueling, feedstock, heat processing, energy storage, other applications), end user (transportation, chemical production, healthcare, steel production, petroleum refinery, power generation, other end users), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
Market by Generation Process
The proton exchange membrane electrolysis segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the rising use of PEM due to its environmentally-friendly nature, superior effectiveness compared to existing alternatives, rapidly growing low-carbon hydrogen production projects, and the increasing focus on fuel cell technology.
Market by Energy Source
The hybrid renewable systems segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of renewable energy, rising global electricity consumption, growing government initiatives to reduce dependency on fossil fuels for power generation, and advancements in grid-balancing technologies are expected to support the growth of this segment.
Market by Application
The industrial process decarbonization segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of green hydrogen for hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and chemicals manufacturing, less environmental impact compared to traditional methods, and increasing government initiatives for industrial sector emissions reduction are expected to support significant growth in this segment.
Market by End User
The maritime shipping segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The International Maritime Organization's stringent emissions targets, increasing adoption of green hydrogen and hydrogen-derived ammonia as marine fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping, and growing government incentives for clean shipping solutions, are expected to support the rapid expansion of this segment.
