Hydrogen pressure vessels are specialized containers or tanks designed to store and transport hydrogen gas at high pressures. These vessels are built to safely handle hydrogen, which is a lightweight, volatile, and highly flammable gas.
The main types of hydrogen pressure vessels are Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV. Type I hydrogen pressure vessels are made entirely of metal, typically steel or aluminum, and are known for their robust and durable construction. Process types used in manufacturing these vessels include the towpreg process and wet winding process. Applications for hydrogen pressure vessels include storage, distribution, and stationary or mobile refueling.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on carbon fiber, resin systems, metal liners, and pressure vessel manufacturing equipment are increasing costs across the hydrogen pressure vessels market. Europe, North America, and Japan are most affected due to reliance on imported advanced composites, while Asia-Pacific manufacturers face export pricing pressure. These tariffs elevate storage system costs and slow refueling infrastructure deployment. Conversely, they are stimulating regional composite manufacturing, alternative material development, and innovation in cost-optimized, high-strength hydrogen pressure vessel designs.
The hydrogen pressure vessels market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hydrogen pressure vessels market statistics, including hydrogen pressure vessels industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a hydrogen pressure vessels market share, detailed hydrogen pressure vessels market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hydrogen pressure vessels industry. This hydrogen pressure vessels market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The hydrogen pressure vessels market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.26 billion in 2025 to $12.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to hydrogen storage research, industrial gas cylinder usage, steel vessel dominance, early mobility pilots, safety standard development.
The hydrogen pressure vessels market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to hydrogen mobility expansion, renewable hydrogen production growth, cost reduction in composites, infrastructure investment, stricter safety regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward composite vessel adoption, demand for lightweight high pressure storage, expansion of refueling infrastructure tanks, focus on safety certification compliance, scaling of mass production.
The increasing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) is expected to propel the growth of the hydrogen pressure vessels market going forward. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles generate electricity from hydrogen gas through a fuel cell, producing only water as a by-product. Rising adoption of FCVs is driving demand for high-capacity, lightweight, and safe storage solutions for compressed hydrogen, a critical component of hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen pressure vessels store compressed hydrogen gas at high pressures, ensuring a reliable fuel supply for the fuel cell system, which converts hydrogen into electricity to power the vehicle while enabling extended driving ranges and supporting zero-emission transportation. For instance, in January 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, plug-in electric vehicles accounted for 9.8% of all light-duty vehicle sales in December 2023, up from 7.8% in December 2022. Throughout 2023, plug-in vehicles consistently made up at least 8% of monthly sales, whereas in 2022 their share ranged between 5.5% and 7.8%. Therefore, the growing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is driving the hydrogen pressure vessels market.
Companies in the hydrogen pressure vessels market are focusing on developing high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels to improve storage efficiency. A high-pressure hydrogen storage vessel is designed to safely store hydrogen gas at pressures typically over 350 bar (5,000 psi), allowing for efficient storage and transportation for various uses, including fuel cell vehicles and industrial applications. For example, in September 2024, NPROXX, a Netherlands-based high-pressure hydrogen storage solutions company, introduced the AH710-70 hydrogen storage solution. This advanced high-pressure hydrogen storage vessel is specifically designed for the automotive industry, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles and long-haul trucks. The AH710-70 can store 22.2 kg of usable hydrogen at 700 bars and provides a compact, efficient, and secure solution for hydrogen storage. The vessel has a volume of 553 liters, weighs 338 kg, and is optimized for seamless integration into various vehicle designs, ensuring versatility and performance. The AH710-70 is expected to be commercially available in Q3 2024, addressing the growing demand for reliable hydrogen storage solutions in the automotive sector.
In April 2023, Haydale, a UK-based technology company, partnered with Viritech for an undisclosed amount. The goal of this partnership is to develop the world's most efficient hydrogen storage system using graphene-enhanced carbon fiber for linerless Type V pressure vessels. Viritech is a UK-based company focused on advancing hydrogen solutions.
