Based on station size, the small size station segment is set to cross more than USD 713 million by 2032, particularly in regions where hydrogen infrastructure is still in the early stages or where there is a growing demand for localized, scalable refueling solutions. These compact stations offer flexibility and cost efficiency, making them suitable for a range of applications, from early hydrogen vehicle adoption to serving smaller communities and corporate fleets. The lower capital expenditure required to build and operate small HRS stations makes them an attractive option for regions just beginning to invest in hydrogen infrastructure.
 

Companies with smaller corporate fleets or those transitioning from traditional fuels to hydrogen find small HRS stations useful as they allow businesses to fuel their fleet vehicles in a centralized location without needing to rely on larger public refuelling networks, contributing to the product demand.
 

Based on application, the passenger cars segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 23% through 2032, especially in states with strong support for clean transportation alternatives. California is the leading market for hydrogen passenger cars, primarily due to the state’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate and its robust hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Other states, including New York and those in the Northeast ZEV Task Force, are starting to follow California’s lead in incentivizing hydrogen vehicle adoption. Moreover, expansion into other metropolitan regions like New York City, Boston, and Seattle, will be critical to ensuring the scalability of hydrogen-powered cars for daily use, driving the business scenario.
 

The U.S. hydrogen refueling station market is likely to cross USD 2.2 billion by 2032, driven by riven by increasing demand for hydrogen infrastructure, particularly in sectors such as transportation, logistics, and heavy-duty vehicles. California, the largest hydrogen market in the U.S., has been a key focus for hydrogen infrastructure development. Ongoing state incentives such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, will stimulate the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations.
 

Mobile refueling units are especially attractive for fleet operators who are transitioning to hydrogen fuel but do not have access to a permanent refueling station nearby. This is likely to accelerate in the early stages of hydrogen adoption in less densely populated areas or along long-distance trucking routes, strengthening the market growth.
