The deployment of renewable energy systems to satisfy the electrical needs in both the residential and commercial market segments is expected to drive market statistics. Furthermore, the increasing requirement for clean electricity within various industrial sectors, together with high emission reduction targets and the new adoption of super powerfully generators in glass, food, metal, and chemical industries will improve the product penetration. The business environment will be further strengthened by ongoing initiatives to develop clean, affordable and reliable energy generation systems for laboratories, electronics, flat glass and others.

The use of hydrogen within crude oil processing is set to increase considerably due to government enabled policies and practices designed to move away from traditional petroleum product recovery techniques. The more stringent regulations that have been imposed on sulfur content in diesel and gasoline fuels have also increased the use of hydrogen gas within refinery and petrochemical industries. This increase in demand has resulted in higher market penetration of hydrogen generators as backup supply systems for refinery activities. Furthermore, the adoption of these systems is being driven by major characteristics such as a small footprint, high operational versatility, and superb system efficiency.
 

Hydrogen Generator Market Trends

Increasing electric power consumption along with government efforts to replace diesel generators with more sustainable options, will drive the industry growth in the near future. Also, the focus of the region towards cheaper models and the growing adoption of these systems in refineries will enhance the market growth. The rising integration of hydrogen gas in the production of chemical products including ammonia and cyclohexane will enhance market penetration. Furthermore, the development of efficient systems for on-demand fuel delivery in different lab applications will increase the product penetration.
