The increasing levels of emissions, rising fuel prices, and limited availability of fossil fuels have led to a surge in demand for zero-emission alternative fuel vehicles. This has resulted in a growing interest in hydrogen mobility, and the market is expected to witness significant advancements in technology, such as non-precious metal catalyst-based Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEM FC) and compact microstructures, which will enhance vehicle range, decrease costs, and improve overall efficiency. Furthermore, the development of hydrogen-based applications like Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEVs) and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (H2-ICEVs) is expected to open up new opportunities in the market. The market is also being driven by the growing focus on hydrogen infrastructure and supportive government initiatives for the development of charging stations.
The report reveals that the H2 fuel station segment is expected to lead in the Asia Pacific region with over 14 thousand fuel stations projected by 2035. China is currently leading in this segment, with more than 400 operational refueling stations as of January 2024, while Japan plans to establish 320 hydrogen stations by 2025.
