Based on process, the steam reformer segment is projected to surpass USD 15.5 billion by 2034. Rising focus on decarbonization and the shift towards clean energy will boost the SMR adoption that produce hydrogen sustainably, independent of fossil fuels, thus curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing demand for highly scalable processes, supporting a range of production capacities from small-scale plants for niche applications to large-scale facilities supplying entire industrial complexes will uplift the SMR penetration.
 

Based on deliver mode, the merchant segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 8.5% through 2034, on account of its cost effectiveness and flexibility. Ongoing technological advancements in clean fuel production technologies particularly in electrolysis and steam methane reforming paired with carbon capture, will make merchant as delivery mode more viable. Expanding clean energy infrastructure will boost emergence of merchant mode to reduce logistical costs and enhance the feasibility of localized hydrogen supply thereby augmenting the industry landscape.
 

The U.S. metal hydrogen generation market is likely to exceed USD 1.35 billion by 2034. Increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions, with several states setting ambitious decarbonization targets will create lucrative opportunities for product adoption. Growing metal industry investments in exploring clean alternative to carbon-intensive processes such as blast furnaces for steel production will bolster the business growth. Furthermore, improving government incentives and fundings including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), allocates significant funds for clean energy projects will enhance product penetration.
 

In Asia Pacific, rapid industrial growth, especially in the metal sector coupled with government prioritization of clean energy in its strategy for green steel production to reduce carbon emissions, will strengthen the industry expansion. Rising environmental commitments as part of the Paris Agreement and national commitments to cut emissions, countries in the region, especially South Korea and Australia, are investing heavily in hydrogen as part of their decarbonization efforts will boost the product penetration.
