    Market Insights

    Hydrogen vehicles, also known as fuel cell vehicles, have been one of the most-discussed subjects in the transportation sector. Several companies have been making significant investments in different value chain with an aim to capture the huge growth potential. Currently, almost all categories, such as passenger car, truck, bus, train, lift truck, and aircraft, have been experiencing some developments with regard to hydrogen as its fuel. Some of the commercial hydrogen vehicles are Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo. It is estimated the hydrogen vehicles may account for about 0.6% of the total automotive powertrain mix by 2030.

    Pressure vessels remain one of the most crucial elements of the hydrogen system. The long-term scenario seems to be extremely fruitful, with a plethora of opportunities for all the players involved in the entire supply chain of hydrogen pressure vessels. In addition, the Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations of various countries, increasing investments in the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure, and the production upsurge of various FCEVs, including passenger cars, are the key factors likely to escalate market demand during the forecast period.

    Moreover, the increasing global focus on the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure is also expected to significantly influence market growth in the coming years. Governments all over the world have stepped up their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the construction of hydrogen stations that use less energy, which is also a major reason for increasing hydrogen demand across regions. Overall, it is expected that the hydrogen pressure vessels market will grow at a solid CAGR of 52.8%, reaching US$ 10.3 Billion in 2030.
