According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hydrogen Storage Alloys Market is accounted for $3.98 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $9.59 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period. A hydrogen storage alloy is a material that can reversibly store hydrogen atoms and is used in applications such as energy storage, fuel cells, and other transportation applications. There are many different types of hydrogen storage alloys, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most common types include titanium, zirconium, iron, rare earth, and magnesium alloys.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing interest in hydrogen as a potential renewable energy source

The demand for hydrogen generation and storage is predicted to expand, potentially in underground caverns for large-scale energy storage or steel containers for smaller-scale storage. The growing emphasis on hydrogen as a possible renewable energy source, combined with rising demand for hydrogen energy storage, is likely to drive demand for hydrogen storage alloys in the global market. Several approaches, such as hydrogen storage alloys, high-pressure hydrogen gas storage, liquid hydrogen storage, and others, have been widely employed to store hydrogen at hydrogen filling stations.

Restraint

High cost and complexity

The high cost and complexity of hydrogen energy storage technologies are expected to impede the market. On-board hydrogen storage devices are prohibitively expensive, especially when compared to traditional petroleum fuel storage systems. Moreover, low-cost materials and components, as well as low-cost, high-volume manufacturing methods, are required for hydrogen storage systems.

Opportunity

Increase in hydrogen production and storage systems

One of the most important elements is hydrogen, which is abundant in its gaseous state. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the possible use of hydrogen as a key source of energy in a variety of applications. According to the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association, the growing emphasis on replacing renewables with other dispatchable energy sources has significantly increased demand for hydrogen generation and storage. Additionally, hydrogen energy storage is a technology for storing surplus renewable energy so that it can be used for a variety of applications, such as fuel for piston engines or gas turbines, among others.

Threat

Disruption in value chain

The disrupted value chain has had a detrimental influence on raw material availability, affecting the growth of the hydrogen storage alloys market. However, as economies attempt to restart their operations, global demand for hydrogen storage alloys is projected to surge. Although the emphasis on just-in-time production is another concerning element impeding industry expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has altered operational efficiency and disrupted value chains due to the rapid settlement of national and international borders, resulting in revenue loss and harm. According to Energy Industry Review research, the economic crisis accompanied by the pandemic may cause a significant delay in the development and commercialization of clean hydrogen energy. This may also have an impact on the hydrogen sector's ability to function smoothly as the missing link in the energy transition.

The aluminium bronze (AB5) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Aluminium bronze (AB5) segment is expected to hold largest share throughout the forecasted period. The AB5-type hydrogen storage alloy Mm (Ni, Mn, Co, Al) 5 is one of several alloy series that are currently widely utilized. The alloy MmNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 was demonstrated to meet the basic requirements for a viable battery in terms of cost, cycle life, and storage capacity. AB5 alloys combine a hydride-forming metal A, typically a rare-earth metal (La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Y, or their mixture known as Mischmetal), with a non-hydride-forming element, nickel.

The aluminium bronze (AB2) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The aluminum bronze (AB2) segment is predicted to have the market's highest CAGR. As Ni-MH battery anodes, AB2 alloys have been widely researched. Because hydrogen diffusion inside the crystal lattice is the determining stage in the hydrating process, a comparison between the gas phase and the electrochemical environment was performed. Concerning structural changes caused by hydration, we discovered the segregation of various stable phases and variations in unit cell characteristics in each alloy.

Region with largest share

North America is expected to have the largest market share. Rising demand for environmentally friendly technology in the automotive industry opens up new opportunities for a new player in the mobility sector, hydrogen, which is boosting the North American hydrogen storage alloys market. As a result, technological improvements and growth in the electronic industry are expected to drive demand for hydrogen storage alloys over the forecast period.

Region with highest CAGR

Because of the influence of productivity gains, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to have the highest CAGR in the market. The Asia-Pacific's growing economies are adopting varied foreign equipment, increasing manufacturing efficiency. This is backed by factors such as considerable government investments in emerging countries. However, these funds are intended to support large-scale infrastructure initiatives.
