Hydrogen Powered Engine Market Expected to Reach $87.3 Billion by 2040—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Hydrogen Powered Engine Market," The hydrogen powered engine market is expected to be valued at $34.7 billion in 2030, and is estimated to reach $87.3 billion by 2040, growing at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2031 to 2040.

Europe region is expected to dominate the market in terms of revenue, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The increase in government regulation for vehicle emission and increase in R&D expenditure by OEMs for the development of hydrogen powered vehicles are driving the growth of hydrogen powered engine market in the region. For instance, the European Union is committed to reducing vehicular emissions by 80% by 2050, from the 1990 levels, by focusing on encouraging the adoption of green vehicles.

There are prominent key factors that drive the growth of the hydrogen powered engine market, such as increase in government initiatives to encourage the adoption of fuel cell vehicles, rise in demand for fuel cells in automotive and transportation, and increase in demand for passenger transportation. Moreover, fuel cells have been used in various kinds of vehicles including forklifts, especially in indoor applications where clean emissions are important to air quality, and in space applications. Rise in environmental concerns and supportive government initiatives for the development of hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure propel the growth of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles globally which in turn is expected to boost the hydrogen powered engine market growth during the forecast period. For instance, the European Union is committed to reducing vehicular emissions by 80% by 2050, from the 1990 levels, by focusing on encouraging the adoption of green vehicles. Further, the U.S. Environmental Protection Act (EPA) focuses on implementing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Many other countries have also planned to ban the production and sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the long term.

The hydrogen powered engine market is segmented basis of installation, technology, application, propulsion, and region. By installation, it is divided into OEM and retrofit. BY product, it is segmented into proton membrane exchange, phosphoric acid fuel cell, and others. By application, it is divided into railways, airways, roadways, and marine. By propulsion, the market is divided into hybrid and electric. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

• The spread of COVID-19 has already negatively influenced the global hydrogen powered engine market globally.
• The COVID-19 pandemic not only affected operations of the automotive and transportation industry, but the economic crisis also led to reduction in expenditure on next-generation technologies, for instance, hydrogen-powered engines.
• Before COVID-19, the transportation industry witnessed continuous growth. Governments all around the globe were focusing on investing huge amount for hydrogen-based vehicles and related technologies. However, adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in interruption in activities and initiatives regarding development of hydrogen powered engines. Many governments trimmed their spending on other sectors and poured a hefty amount of investment in improving healthcare facilities to lessen dangers pertaining to the pandemic.
• Government authorities and operators are expected to accelerate and resume development of clean fuel technology after pandemic, which is anticipated to positively affect the growth of the hydrogen powered engine market.
