According to a new report published by Allied
Market Research, titled, India Hydrogen Market by Delivery Mode, Technology, and
End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018-2025,
the India hydrogen market was valued at $50 million in 2017, and is projected
to reach $81 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2018 to 2025. The
captive segment accounted for more than 83% share of the India hydrogen market
in terms of value in 2017.
Hydrogen is a non-toxic, highly combustible
diatomic gas, which has been used as a fuel since several decades. The demand
for hydrogen in India has been increasing significantly, owing to a surge in
the need for hydrogen in the petroleum refining processes, metal processing,
and others. In addition, rise in the use of hydrogen in power generation and
implementation of stringent environmental regulations towards a cleaner form of
energy are the key factors contributing to the growth of the India hydrogen
market. However, high transportation cost and stagnant prices act as the major
restraints of the market. On the contrary, the India hydrogen market is yet to
explore its full potential. The use of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)
technologies for storage and transportation of hydrogen is anticipated to
provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market.

The report segments the India hydrogen market
based on delivery mode, technology, end user, and region. By delivery mode, the
market is divided into captive and merchant. The merchant delivery model is
estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. As
per the consumption, the captive delivery model generated a revenue of $44
million in 2017 and is expected to reach $67 million by 2025.
The steam methane reforming segment is a
significant contributor to the market and is projected to occupy two-sevenths
of the market share by 2025. Based on end user, the market is fragmented into
chemical, petroleum refining, metal processing, glass industry, edible fats
& oils, energy, and others. By production, the chemical industry occupied
more than half of the share of the India hydrogen market. Region-wise, the
market is analyzed across North India, South India, Western India, and East
India.
Key Findings of
the India Hydrogen Market:
- The energy segment is projected to grow at
a CAGR of 8.4%, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
- The methanol reforming segment is expected
to grow at the highest CAGR of 8.6%, in terms of value, throughout the
forecast period.
- The chemical segment accounted for more
than half of the share of the India hydrogen market in terms of volume in
2017.
- The north India segment is projected to
grow at a CAGR of 6.9%, in terms of value, from 2018 to 2025.
The hydrogen production in South India has
been witnessing several developments. This factor is expected to boost the
market growth during the forecast period. The Indian Institute of Technology,
Hyderabad, has been working on low temperature plasma catalysis for the
conversion of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane into
syngas/H2. The Institute of Science and Technology, Hyderabad, had developed
the proton exchange membrane-based water electrolyzer to produce hydrogen through
the Nafion membrane. In Western India, hydrogen has been offering support to
future requirements for clean energy. The growth in initiatives for reducing
greenhouse emission and the increase in technological developments in cities,
such as Pune and Mumbai, are expected to drive the growth of the market.
