Based on end-use industry, the automotive segment accounted for a market share of over 35% in 2023.
 

• The market for hydrogen hubs is expanding significantly in the automotive sector owing to the growing use of hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) as an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. The demand for zero-emission vehicles is being driven by the strict emissions regulations implemented by governments across the globe. Hydrogen hubs, which are refueling infrastructures, are essential to the FCV market growth. The sales of FCVs will rise as hydrogen infrastructure becomes more widely available and accessible, boosting consumer confidence in these vehicles.
   
• FCVs are becoming more competitive with conventional internal combustion engine vehicles due to developments in hydrogen production technologies and falling fuel cell system costs. Collaborations between automakers, hydrogen suppliers, and infrastructure developers to create comprehensive hydrogen ecosystems are further driving growth in the automotive sector and accelerating the transition toward a hydrogen-based transportation system.
   

Based on supply technique, the electrolysis segment is estimated to register more than 18% growth rate through 2032.
 

•  The electrolysis segment is witnessing rapid growth, especially in green hydrogen production. The production of hydrogen from water using renewable electricity has made electrolysis a crucial technology, especially with the growing focus on decarbonization and the shift to renewable energy sources. Green hydrogen, which is carbon-free and environmentally sustainable, is produced using this process. Investments in electrolyzer capacity are also increasing as governments, businesses, and investors place a high priority on the construction of green hydrogen infrastructure.
   
• Electrolysis is a good fit for integration into hydrogen hubs as it is flexible, scalable, and compatible with renewable energy sources. The increasing use of electrolysis technology not only increases the capacity for producing hydrogen but also facilitates the creation of decentralized hydrogen hubs, which allow regional production and distribution networks to meet the growing demand for clean hydrogen across various sectors.
   

North America held approximately 30% share of the global hydrogen hubs market in 2023. The robust automotive industry in North America is contributing to the growth of hydrogen hubs as major automakers are increasingly investing in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. California's strong infrastructure for hydrogen refueling and its zero-emission vehicle regulations are also creating a favorable environment for the development of hydrogen hubs in the U.S.
 

Furthermore, Steam Methane Reforming with Carbon Capture and Storage (SMR-CCS) offers opportunities for hydrogen production owing to the abundance of shale gas resources in areas such as Texas, addressing both energy demands and carbon emissions. In addition, partnerships among public & private sectors are spurring innovation and quickening the establishment of hydrogen hubs, establishing North America as a major participant in the global hydrogen economy.
