Tuesday 2 May 2017, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, "Hydrogen Generation Market by Generation and Delivery Mode (Captive and Merchant), Application (Petroleum Refinery, Ammonia Production, and Methanol Production), Technology (Steam Methane Reforming and Coal Gasification), and Region - Global Forecasts to 2022", The hydrogen generation market is expected to grow, by value, from an estimated USD 115.25 Billion in 2017 to USD 154.74 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.07%. The global market is set to witness growth due to government regulations for desulfurization of petroleum products and rising demand for hydrogen as a transportation fuel.

The merchant segment is expected to hold the largest share of the hydrogen generation market, by generation and delivery mode, during the forecast period.
The merchant segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, owing to the increasing need for hydrogen for desulfurization of petroleum products. This segment is primarily driven by decreasing crude oil quality and is expected to create new revenue pockets for the hydrogen generation market during the forecast period.

Steam methane reforming is expected to be the largest segment of the hydrogen generation market.
With regard to the technology segment, the steam methane reforming segment of the hydrogen generation market is expected to be the largest market in 2017. The technology is employed in numerous applications such as chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, hydrogenation of oil, and petroleum refining, among others. Steam methane reforming is a mature technology and is widely adopted in these industries due to its higher efficiency when compared to other processes.
