The global hydrogen energy storage market size reached USD 20.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 33.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.21% during 2025-2033.
Hydrogen energy storage (HES) is a process involving the utilization of power electrolysis through the surplus energy generated by renewables during the low energy demand. It assists in increasing the reliability of supply and reducing carbon emissions and the overall consumption of conventional petroleum fuels. It provides ancillary grid services and fuel for material handling equipment (MHE), such as forklifts and airport tugs. It also offers high storage capacity as compared with pumped storage hydropower (PSH) and compressed air energy storage (CAES). As a result, HES is used to store hydrogen as compressed gas, cryogenic liquid, and loosely bonded hydride compounds.
Hydrogen Energy Storage Market Trends:
The growing demand for HES to utilize excess electric energy represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, its increasing application in stationary power for providing clean, efficient, and reliable off-grid power to homes, businesses, and utilities is propelling the market growth. In addition, there is a rise in the employment of hydrogen as a fuel as it does not emit greenhouse gases and harmfully affects the environment. This, along with the augmenting use of hydrogen as a fuel cell in electric vehicles (EVs), is contributing to the growth of the market. Besides this, HES offers multiple opportunities to increase resiliency and improve the economics of energy supply systems comprising electric grid and gas pipelines. This, coupled with stringent regulations imposed by the government of several countries to encourage the use of sustainable energy sources, is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop enhanced equipment for improving the production efficiency of hydrogen.
