Green hydrogen has applications across various industries, including chemicals, mobility, grid injection, the power industry, and others. It is increasingly being seen as a replacement for conventional gray, brown, and blue hydrogen due to its zero-emission production process. Technological advancements have also made green hydrogen more cost-competitive. This sustainable fuel source is emerging as a viable alternative to fossil fuels across various end-use industries.

"By technology, the alkaline electrolysis-based green hydrogen segment is estimated to hold the largest share, in terms of value, during the forecast period."
The alkaline electrolysis-based green hydrogen segment is expected to hold the largest market share due to its reliability, scalability, and low cost. In this technology, an alkaline electrolyte, such as potassium hydroxide, is used to split water, producing high-purity hydrogen with minimal gas crossover as hydrogen ions diffuse slowly into the electrolyte. Its cell design and use of common, non-precious materials keep both capital and maintenance costs lower compared to newer electrolysis methods. At the same time, well-established manufacturing processes allow for rapid deployment at scale. Alkalinizers operate efficiently in varying power conditions, making them compatible with renewable sources such as wind and solar. Advantages such as long stack lifetimes, operational stability, and compatibility with continuous industrial production make alkaline electrolysis one of the most practical and commercially attractive technologies in the growing green hydrogen market.
"By end-use industry, the mobility segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the data green hydrogen market during the forecast period."
The mobility segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment for green hydrogen during the forecast period. The performance requirements for battery technologies are becoming increasingly challenging to meet across various modes of transportation, including rail, road, aviation, and shipping. Green hydrogen has a higher energy content, which enables much longer ranges coupled with shorter refueling durations, making fuel cell electric vehicles the natural choice for heavy-duty trucks, buses, trains, aircraft, and ships. Operators can thus operate vehicles with minimal downtime, making them a preferred choice for logistics, public transport, and mobility in industrial environments. Rapid improvements in green hydrogen production, the expansion of refueling infrastructure, and cooperation among vehicle manufacturers, energy providers, and fleet operators are accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen across various modes of transportation. Additionally, favorable government policies and national decarbonization strategies are encouraging early deployment.
"The green hydrogen market in Europe is projected to be the largest regional market, in terms of value and volume, during the forecast period."
Europe leads the global green hydrogen market as the largest region. A strong industrial base, advanced technological capabilities, and a very transparent commitment to deep decarbonization are the driving factors. Ambitious climate targets set in the region have accelerated large-scale investments in renewable energy capacity and green hydrogen production. Europe also possesses a mature manufacturing ecosystem, with an established presence of several established electrolyzer producers, engineering firms, and technology developers that contribute to driving innovation, increasing efficiency, and achieving cost reductions within their respective value chains. Significant public and private investments are being directed towards the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure, the development of large demonstration projects, and the integration of green hydrogen into industrial operations, power systems, and mobility. Together, these factors position Europe at the center of all global hubs for the development and deployment of green hydrogen.
