Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Market Size
The global hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 27.2% between 2025 and 2034. The growing number of hydrogen refueling stations across the globe is contributing to the growth of the market. Governments are spending significant amounts of money building hydrogen infrastructure to facilitate ongoing access to fuel, and increasing adoption of vehicles.
In January 2025, ENOWA, an energy and water company that is a NEOM subsidiary, collaborated with Hydrogen Refueling Solutions (HRS) to establish the country’s first hydrogen refueling station at Petromin Corporation. The station is the first of a series planned in the NEOM region and is in harmony with the country's growing shift towards sustainable and clean transportation technologies.
Also, governments are working towards the wider adoption of hydrogen powered vehicles by offering subsidies and other monetary incentives. For instance, in January 2025, the Ministry of Environment of South Korea introduced the Hydrogen Electric Vehicle Subsidy Program Guidelines intended to promote high-performance vehicles. In addition, the government announced the provision of subsidies for approximately 11,000 hydrogen passenger cars, 2,000 hydrogen buses, and expansion of hydrogen charging stations from 386 in the preceding year to over 450.
Increased public awareness on more environmentally friendly options and increased corporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movements are driving the adoption of cleaner mobility technologies and solutions. Given the global shift towards sustainable mobility, businesses and fleet operators are investing significantly in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in order to comply with stringent emission regulations and sustainability goals that are becoming increasingly prevalent across the world.
