One of the major market restraints is the high initial cost of hydrogen vehicles. Currently, the technology needed in fuel cells, hydrogen storage systems, and infrastructure development is quite expensive. Fuel cells, which form the major component in hydrogen vehicles, require sophisticated engineering methodologies & materials. The production of fuel cell stacks requires intricate manufacturing processes as well as the use of expensive catalysts, membranes, and other components. These factors contribute to the high cost of fuel cell systems, making them a major component of the overall vehicle cost. The high component costs, the limited economies of scale, and the nascent state of the market push to the higher price tag of hydrogen vehicles compared to conventional vehicles.
The hydrogen vehicle market was impacted by the spread of COVID-19. The pandemic disrupted supply chains, manufacturing operations, and consumer demand. Lockdowns & restrictions limited production and delayed vehicle launches. Reduced economic activities and financial uncertainties affected investments in hydrogen infrastructure. Moreover, decreased consumer spending and travel restrictions resulted in lower vehicle sales.
The hydrogen vehicle industry is witnessing significant investments from automakers, technology companies, and governments. Such rising investments are fueling research & development activities, influencing infrastructure expansion and scaling up hydrogen production & distribution networks.
The rising efforts of automakers, industry associations & government agencies to raise consumer awareness; educate the public about the benefits of hydrogen vehicles through campaigns that highlight the advantages of these vehicles; and address & build consumer confidence are contributing to market growth.

Based on powertrain configuration, the hydrogen vehicle market is divided into fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hybrid vehicles. The FCEV segment held approximately 100% of the market share in 2022 and is slated to grow at a 26% CAGR up to 2032. This growth can be attributed to the rising awareness of the deteriorating air quality and the excessive noise emerging from public & private vehicles. The considerably rapid shift from conventional fuel vehicles toward eco-friendly alternatives in recent years is boosting the demand for FCEVs. Strict environmental regulations, government incentives & subsidies promoting the use of clean fuel, and an increase in harmful gas emissions from combustion engine vehicles are some of the other factors that are estimated to propel market growth.
