The global hydrogen generation market was valued at $136.3 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $262.0 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.
Hydrogen generation is term which describes the process in which hydrogen is manufactured using various raw materials through different process such as steam methanol reforming, coal gasification, and others. Hydrogen plays a vital role in the oil & gas and chemical manufacturing industries. Furthermore, the increase in awareness among the people regarding the advantages of the utilization of hydrogen as a power source in transportation sector has positive impact on the hydrogen generation market.
Hydrogen is also significantly used as a clean fuel alternative to electricity generation and propels vehicles. It is used as a fuel to curb harmful discharges and deliver water vapor and heat as the only output through fuel cells. Fuel cell manufacturers are continuously striving to introduce advanced systems with feasible integration in various applications. Furthermore, different methods such as steam methane reforming, gas partial oxidation, and auto thermal reforming are adopted across the industry to generate hydrogen to serve the increasing requirements in various applications.
The governments from different emerging as well as developed countries have shown significant interest in achieving carbon neutrality. In addition, the administrations have also updated their strategies to include clean energy sectors in their future prospects fueling the expansion of hydrogen economy. For instance, in March 2021, India and the U.S. governments have decided to update their strategic energy partnership to include low carbon technologies such as hydrogen and bio fuels. The two nations have also agreed to boost the R&D activities with programs such as partnership to advance clean energy research for renewable energy.

Impact of Covid-19 on Hydrogen Generation Market
The global COVID-19 pandemic has negative impact on the hydrogen generation market. Outbreak of pandemic simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments and infrastructure companies across the globe. The novel coronavirus has affected several economies and caused lockdown in many countries which has limited the growth of the market. The shutdown of industrial manufacturer led to the decline in the demand for solar related equipment in most of the countries across the world leading to decline in the growth of the hydrogen generation market. The decrease in utilization of power in the industrial facilities across the globe during the outbreak has a negative impact on the development of the market.
At the initial stage, demand for hydrogen significantly declined due to lockdowns. Furthermore, the supply of hydrogen was hampered, as major portion of the hydrogen is produced from natural gas reforming. However, governments of various countries across the world have eased lockdown restrictions. Therefore, there is steady rise in the manufacturing process. This is driving the demand for hydrogen in industrial applications. The trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.
