The hydrogen compressor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2025 to $2.27 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to hydrogen industrial usage, chemical processing demand, early refueling station rollout, gas compression technology maturity, energy sector hydrogen trials.
The hydrogen compressor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to hydrogen mobility infrastructure growth, green hydrogen production expansion, safety regulation enforcement, investment in refueling stations, efficiency improvement requirements. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of high pressure compression systems, growth of refueling infrastructure equipment, focus on oil free compression, modular compressor design adoption, demand for reliability and safety.
The growing adoption of fuel-cell vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the hydrogen compressors market in the future. A fuel-cell car is an electric vehicle that produces electricity for propulsion through a fuel cell, utilizing hydrogen as its fuel source. These vehicles are more efficient than conventional internal combustion engines and do not emit harmful exhaust gases. The rising popularity of fuel-cell cars is contributing to the expansion of hydrogen compressors. For example, in January 2024, a report from InsideEVs, a US-based automotive podcast, indicated that 2,968 hydrogen fuel cell cars were sold in 2023, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year. Thus, the increasing adoption of fuel-cell cars is fueling the growth of the hydrogen compressor engine market.
