The Global Green Hydrogen Market, valued near USD 12 billion in 2024, is expected to surge to approximately USD 33 billion by 2031, growing at a robust ~20.9% CAGR. This expansion is driven by accelerating industrial decarbonization (steel, chemicals, ammonia), ambitious national policies, rapid cost reductions, and growth in transport and storage applications.

   Key Growth Drivers

  1. Policy Support & Cost Reductions
    Production tax credits           up to USD 3/kg under the U.S. IRA           and EU decarbonization plans are catalyzing investment. Electrolyzer costs are falling, with projected 60–80% declines by 2030, making green hydrogen increasingly competitive.

  2. Industrial & Chemical Demand
    Green hydrogen is replacing grey hydrogen in ammonia, methanol, steel, and refining sectors. Chemicals represent a ~47% growth segment from 2024 to 2029, driven by sustainable manufacturing mandates.

  3. Mobility & Heavy Duty Transport
    Fuel cell vehicles, trucks, buses, shipping, and hydrogen blending in gas networks are expanding, especially in regions where electrification is less practical.

  4. Infrastructure & Renewable Scaling
    Rising solar and wind capacity supports electrolysis projects. Asia Pacific leads with renewables driving regional green hydrogen growth, now accounting for nearly half of global deployment.

  5. National Hydrogen Strategy Push
    Targeted roadmaps in the U.S. ("Hydrogen Shot" aiming for USD 1/kg by 2030) and Japan’s revised Basic Hydrogen Strategy include USD 20B+ in subsidies, grid blending, and transport incentives for FCVs.

  • Hydrogen tax credits (45V) and infrastructure spending (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, DOE hubs) bolster project pipelines, but uncertainty over deadlines may slow rollout.

  • Industrial and mobility deployments are strong: major electrolyzer projects (Plug Power, GH2I) and grid blending pilots are underway.

 

     Japan

  • Japan’s green hydrogen market stands at roughly USD 86 million in 2024, with a projected 27% CAGR to 2033, reaching ~USD 734 million.

  • Fuel cell cars, buses, power generation, and energy security goals are strengthening domestic demand.

  • Large scale solar driven production (e.g., Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field) and the 2024 Hydrogen Society Promotion Act (USD 20B in incentives) underpin long term strategy.
