Based on process, the steam reformer segment is projected to surpass USD 71.6 billion by 2032, on account of its high efficiency, and capability of converting hydrocarbons into hydrogen with high yields. Furthermore, the process allows refineries to gain greater control over their energy sources, enhancing security and operational flexibility stimulating the industry scenario. Rising investments in technological innovations such as improved catalyst efficiency, waste heat recovery systems, and modular reformer designs, will further boost the business growth.
 

Asia Pacific captive petroleum refinery hydrogen generation market is likely to exceed USD 32.7 billion by 2032. Rapidly expanding refining capacity of countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia to meet soaring energy demand fueled by industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth will augment the business statistics. Rising stricter environmental standards, including, India’s Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) and China’s National VI fuel standards among others require refineries to reduce sulfur content in their fuels, increasing the need for hydrogen in desulfurization processes, thereby complementing the process growth.
 

Furthermore, increased investments in natural gas infrastructure, will encourage refineries to capitalize on the availability of cheap natural gas to generate hydrogen on-site, reducing dependency on external hydrogen suppliers and minimizing operational costs.
 

In the U.S. rising stringent fuel and emission standards, such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Tier 3 regulations, which require refineries to produce ultra-low-sulfur fuels leading to hydrogen demand in refinery operations, thereby improving the process adoption to meet these regulatory requirements cost-effectively and reliably. Furthermore, growing federal and state policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions are encouraging refineries to adopt low-carbon technologies to produce hydrogen with a lower carbon footprint, aligning with decarbonization goals and sustainability initiatives, thereby, propelling the industry trajectory.
