Market Ecosystem:

The value chain of hydrogen starts from its feedstock or primary energy source. The feedstock includes fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas; renewable energies like hydro energy, wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy; methanol; biomass; and electricity. Hydrogen can be produced from these feedstock sources. These sources are further utilized by various hydrogen generation and production companies such as Air Liquide S.A., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Linde AG, Praxair, Inc., etc. Organizations that have hydrogen generation technologies can either utilize the produced hydrogen for further processes or distribute it to other market players. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Linde AG, Iwatani Corporation, Messer Group GmbH, and Praxair, Inc. are some of the leading hydrogen distributors. The hydrogen generated is used in refineries, fuel cells, ammonia and methanol production, metal production and fabrication, food processing, and electronics.

The global hydrogen generation market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.07%, from 2017 to 2022, to reach a market size of USD 154.74 Billion by 2022. This growth is attributed to government regulations for the desulfurization of petroleum products and a rising demand for hydrogen as a transportation fuel.

The report segments the hydrogen generation market, by generation type, into captive and merchant. The captive segment dominated the generation and delivery type market owing to demand from petroleum refineries to reduce the sulfur content in fuel. The captive generation type segment is also employed in many large scale industries such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, metals, fuel cells, and IC engines industry.

Based on technology, the hydrogen generation market is segmented into steam methane reforming, partial oxidation of oil, gasification of coal, and electrolysis of water. The steam methane reforming segment is the largest segment of the hydrogen generation market owing to the easy availability of raw material, i.e., methane, and the cost-effective nature of the process.

The hydrogen generation market has also been segmented, based on application, into petroleum refinery, ammonia production, methanol production, and others. The petroleum refinery segment dominated the application market owing to the increasing demand for the desulfurization of fuel called for by government regulations. This will also drive the segment during the forecast period.

In this report, the hydrogen generation market has been analyzed with respect to six regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global hydrogen generation market during the forecast period. The Middle Eastern market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, from 2017 to 2022, owing to a rising need for the desulfurization of fuel due to government regulations in the region.

The high cost of hydrogen as a fuel and the lack of proper distribution and transportation infrastructure are expected to restrain the growth of the hydrogen generation market during the forecast period. However, hydrogen has huge potential to replace LNG and CNG and it is also in demand as a transportation fuel. Some of the leading players in the hydrogen generation market include Linde AG (Germany), Air Liquide S.A. (France), Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (U.S.), Praxair, Inc. (U.S.), Iwatani Corporation (Japan), Showa Denko K.K. (Japan), and Hydrogenics Corporation (Canada), among others. Contracts & agreements and investments and expansions were the most adopted strategies by the players to ensure their dominance in the market.
