Hydrogen Generator Market Size was valued at USD 1.36 Billion in 2021. The Hydrogen Generator industry is projected to grow from USD 1.52 Billion in 2022 to USD 2.81 Billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.97% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030). Increased application of hydrogen in oil & gas, refinery, and chemical industry is expected to drive the market. The element Hydrogen, which is abundantly found in the universe does not exist naturally in its gaseous state and hence it should be manufactured using hydrogen generators. There has been an on-growing demand in the production of hydrogen gas as they can be used as energy carriers, fuel cells for vehicles, and local electricity generation.

Hydrogen vehicles are powered by the electricity produced by mixing hydrogen gas and oxygen, the electric power generated is used to propel the vehicle. As the process involves only hydrogen and oxygen, the by-products are water and heat. This makes the vehicle rightly called an eco-friendly and ‘Zero-emission vehicle’. Fuel cell demand for the automotive industry is expected likely to increase the demand for the market size. In comparison, Hydrogen vehicles are highly fuel-efficient for long travels as a fully charged hydrogen vehicle can travel 300 miles whereas an electric vehicle could travel only up to 100-200 miles. By realizing the efficiency of hydrogen vehicles, California has set a goal to have above 15% of the cars in their state be zero-emission cars by 2025. They have also pledged about 200 million dollars to build 100 more refueling stations across the state.
The market segmentation, based on Product, includes On-Site and Portable. The On-Site segment held the majority share in 2021, of the market revenue. Owing to the increased development of hydrogen generators, owing to the growth of the oil and gas industry.
Based on Process, the market segmentation includes Steam Reformer and Electrolysis. The Electrolysis segment dominated the market in 2021. The Electrolysis segment is gaining popularity owing to consumers' preference for advanced products. Moreover, the rise in demand for hydrogen-rich water owing to the growing number of applications such as in the food and beverage industry is also expected to boost the market growth.
Based on Power Sources, the market segmentation includes <100 Nm3/h, 100-2000 Nm3/h, and>2000 Nm3/h. The 100-2000 Nm3/h segment dominated the market in 2021 with market growth. Due to the increased demand for portable hydrogen generators in the market. In addition, the growth of industrial hydrogen generators could be attributed to their application in various industries.
Based on Application, the market segmentation includes Chemical Processing, Petroleum Recovery, Fuel Cells, and Refineries. The Chemical Processing segment dominated the market in 2021 the market growth. The Chemical Processing segment includes the manufacturing of hydrogen through the processes such as steam methane reforming and other chemical processing techniques. Steam Methane Reforming involves the use of steam in a reaction with methane to produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and water.
