Key Market Trends & Insights from the Hydrogen Generation Market Report 

Based on production type, the merchant hydrogen segment held the largest market share of 58% in 2025. Merchant hydrogen, produced via electrolysis and natural gas processes, reduces the need for on-site hydrogen generation and minimizes transportation costs. Its growing adoption is fueled by cost-efficiency, scalability, and increasing demand across ammonia, methanol, and petroleum refining applications. 

Electrolysis-based hydrogen generation is poised for rapid growth. Green hydrogen production through water electrolysis using renewable energy is expected to expand significantly, with revenues projected to exceed USD 95 billion by 2032. Technological innovations in electrolyzers, coupled with falling renewable electricity costs, are driving adoption across industrial, transportation, and power generation sectors. 

Natural gas-derived hydrogen remains the dominant source, accounting for approximately 75% of global hydrogen production in 2025. However, coal, oil, and biomass-based hydrogen are also contributing to market supply. Blue hydrogen, produced via natural gas with carbon capture and storage, is emerging as a transitional solution in regions aiming for low-carbon energy goals. 

Asia Pacific led the Hydrogen Generation Market in 2025 with a 35% share, driven by significant government investments in hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell commercialization. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia are supporting fuel cell adoption and green hydrogen production, positioning the region as a global growth hub. Japan alone plans to deploy 200,000 green hydrogen FCEVs and 320 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025. 

Hydrogen for ammonia and methanol production represented the largest application segment, accounting for 38% of the market in 2025. Fossil-fuel-based on-site hydrogen generation remains standard in ammonia facilities due to cost-effectiveness and operational reliability. Rising demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers is expected to sustain this segment’s market dominance. 

Transportation is the fastest-growing application, driven by the rising adoption of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), hydrogen-powered buses, trucks, and trains. Hydrogen’s high energy efficiency and zero tailpipe emissions are positioning it as a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, with the segment expected to expand at a CAGR of ~10% from 2025 to 2032. 

Global market leadership is expected to consolidate around key players such as Air Products and Chemicals, Linde plc, ITM Power, Nel Hydrogen, and Plug Power, who are driving advancements in production, storage, and distribution infrastructure. Their investments in R&D and strategic partnerships are set to strengthen competitive positioning and expand global hydrogen supply chains.
