The size of the global Hydrogen Market was estimated at USD 196.23 billion in 2021, and it is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2030.
Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and it is the lightest element. Hydrogen comes with several uses. The global Hydrogen market is projected to grow at a considerable rate in the forecast period. In the chemical sector, hydrogen is used in the making of ammonia, which is use as an ingredient of agricultural fertilizer. It is also used in the making of methanol and cyclohexane, which act as intermediates in the production process of pharmaceuticals and plastics. Additionally, this chemical is also used in the process of removal of sulfur from fuels at the time of oil refining. Hence, such diverse uses of this chemical are anticipated to boost the growth of the global Hydrogen market over the forthcoming years.
Additionally, hydrogen is viewed as a very flexible element that use across numerous applications, such as transportation of fuel, chemical, and industrial processes. Hydrogen is also used as a heating fuel for the generation of power, cooking, and heating purposes. The versatile nature of hydrogen and its capability to facilitate services across several sectors, such as industrial, electricity, commercial, and transportation. These prime factors escalate the growth of the global Hydrogen market during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact on Hydrogen Market
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions have severely affected every sector around the world. Whereas, the chemicals and materials sectors were moderately affected during the pandemic. This is primarily due to the uncut demand for chemicals for healthcare, life science, and cleaning agents. However, other elements of chemical and material sectors such as paints, industrial oil, construction materials are facing diminution in demand. Strict lockdown resulted in a nearly 50-60% reduction in supply for raw materials, which directly affected the manufacturing process. Further, halt on many end-use industries directly affected the chemical demand all around the world.
Hydrogen Market Segment Overview
In terms of Production Process, the Steam–Methane Reforming segment held the largest share in the global Hydrogen market. This is because the production of hydrogen through this process is cheaper than others. Additionally, a well-maintained supply chain and easy availability of the feedstock also support the growth of this segment. Based on, Distribution Method, the On-Site Generation is the largest segment in the market. On-site generation is a less intricate method of transporting the gas to end-users. Also, it is cost-effective than the tanker and cylinder methods, when used for a longer time. Furthermore, it allows companies to smoothen their operations by minimizing the risks related to the supply chain.
