The physical segment was valued at USD 5.43 billion in 2018. With the prevalence of renewable supply and demand, greater economies of scale will make liquefaction a more viable storage and transport option during the forecast period. It may be compressed, stored in tanks, and used as needed, just like any other gas. Moreover, compared with other hydrocarbons or shale gas, hydrogen has a far higher volume-nearly four times that of natural gas. As a result, it needs to be compressed for handling needs. For instance, fuel-cell automobiles use compressed hydrogen stored in enormous, extremely pressured canisters. Various governments are also supporting numerous infrastructure projects worldwide. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the segment in the hydrogen storage market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 37% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The escalating demand for clean energy technology has increased the use of fuel cell-based vehicles, which is driving the market in the region.
The increased usage of hydrogen storage tanks in transportation applications is notably driving market growth. Various methods, such as compressed natural gas, liquid hydrogen, metal hydride, and chemical carriers, are utilized for storing hydrogen in transportation. Due to its superior energy density compared to other fuels, hydrogen plays a crucial role in advancing technologies. These technologies, essential for fixed electricity, portable power, and mobility, heavily rely on efficient storage mechanisms. Presently, transportation in the hydrocarbon economy is fueled primarily by petroleum, sourced from oil refineries, which emits carbon dioxide and other pollutants during combustion.
However, the limited supply of economically viable hydrocarbon resources worldwide, combined with increasing demand, particularly in heavily polluted regions like China, India, and other emerging economies, necessitates a transition towards cleaner energy sources. Advocates of a global-scale economy advocate for hydrogen as a cleaner energy alternative, especially in transportation, where it can significantly reduce pollutant emissions and carbon dioxide release. Thus, the integration of these storage systems holds immense potential for mitigating environmental impacts and driving hydrogen storage market growth amidst evolving energy transition dynamics.
Reduction in the cost of fuel cell is an emerging trend in the market. Owing to R&D over the years, there has been a decline in the cost of fuel cell technology. The main changes that largely offset one another to result in nearly static costs are the reduction of Pt loading on the anode, larger bipolar plate formation, and welding costs (as per OEM feedback), and modified gas diffusion layers (as per OEM feedback).
There will be a higher number of fuel cell applications across numerous sectors due to the decline in the production costs of fuel cell systems. This increase in the number of fuel cell applications will lead to an increased demand for the gas. Therefore, this will positively influence the market growth during the forecast period.
The limited availability of hydrogen refueling infrastructure is a major challenge impeding the market growth. One of the most important challenges is high-density for transportation applications. Currently, available storage options require a large-volume container that stores hydrogen in gaseous form. This is the option for the stationary applications of tanks.
However, fuel cell vehicles need enough hydrogen to travel more than 300 miles and the ability to fill up the vehicle quickly and easily. Although there are several fuel cell electric light vehicles (FCEV) on the market today that can cover this distance, such cars must store compressed gas in large, high-pressure compound tanks. For larger cars, large storage volumes may not be as important, but it is still difficult to ensure sufficient storage for all light-duty platforms, which will impact hydrogen storage market growth and trends during the forecast period.

The market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for clean energy sources. Two primary methods for hydrogen storage are metal hydrides and material-based storage. Metal hydrides, specifically intermetallic hydrides, are widely used for solid storage. Hydrogen is stored in the form of hydrogen gas in oil refineries for desulfurization processes. Hydrogen is used in the production of gasoline and diesel fuel. The market is expanding in various sectors, including transportation applications, merchant sourcing, and fuel cell vehicles. Fuel cell companies like Plug Power are leading the way in this field. Hydrogen is used in ground support equipment at airports, material handling, ships and boats, trams and trains, submersibles, unmanned vehicles, and biofuels.
Also, the Industrial Segment is adopting hydrogen as a source of Energy Security and Energy Conservation. market is influenced by environmental regulations and engine manufacturer specifications. Hydrogen-powered vehicles require refueling at fueling stations, which necessitates infrastructure development. The Gas Form segment includes cylinder storage, while the Metalworking Industry also utilizes hydrogen in its processes. The Transportation segment is a significant contributor to the market's growth, driven by the adoption of fuel cell vehicles. Renewable energy is also playing a role in the expansion of the market. The hydrogen gas industry is advancing rapidly with innovations in high-pressure gas cylinders and liquid cryogenic tank methods to improve hydrogen storage. Material-based storage solutions and solid-state hydrogen storage are emerging as key technologies in the hydrogen storage industry, aiming to enhance the physical hydrogen storage market.
However, these advancements support the growth of hydrogen-powered vehicles, including fuel cell-powered bicycles and submarines, as well as the automotive sector and transportation sector at large. Efforts to integrate low-emission fuels and sustainable energy sources are crucial for a sustainable energy future. This includes developing hydrogen stations and supporting fuel cell adoption in electric vehicles. Carbon emissions reduction and environmentally friendly practices are driving the hydrogen economy, with commercial and residential segments both benefiting from improved cryogenic liquid and supercritical fluid storage methods. The power generation and industrial processes sectors are also transitioning to low emission fuels, including ammonia production and natural gas-fired power plants.
