Emerging Trends and Challenges in the Global Hydrogen Market: A 2025 Outlook
Key Ideas
  • Hydrogen supply is set to increase significantly by 2030, with a particular focus on blue hydrogen in the U.S.
  • Challenges are foreseen for green hydrogen projects in 2025 due to government focus shift and competition for resources.
  • Emerging economies like South America, the Middle East, India, and China show promise in green hydrogen projects with supportive incentives.
  • Chinese electrolyzer manufacturers are gaining a strong global presence, especially in regions with renewable energy potential.
In 2025, the global hydrogen market is witnessing a shift towards cleaner alternatives, with a notable increase in hydrogen supply projected by 2030. The U.S. focuses on blue hydrogen, expecting a significant capacity increase compared to green hydrogen projects. However, challenges lie ahead for green hydrogen, facing obstacles such as reduced government support and resource competition. Despite this, emerging economies like South America, the Middle East, India, and China hold promise for green hydrogen ventures through supportive incentives and projects leveraging solar and wind power. Chinese electrolyzer manufacturers are expected to dominate markets in regions with renewable energy potential, despite challenges in entering Europe and North America. While blue hydrogen leads in the U.S., green hydrogen gains traction in Europe and North America, with initiatives like the European Commission's hydrogen auction and projects in countries like Germany and the U.S. Additionally, uncontracted low-carbon hydrogen capacity poses a challenge, and the U.S. Treasury's tax credit rules aim to incentivize clean hydrogen production. Overall, the hydrogen market in 2025 presents both opportunities and challenges, shaping the future of clean energy.
