Petroleum Refining Hydrogen Generation Market Forecast to Reach US$ 110.8 Billion by 2033 With 6.7% Annual Growth as Revealed in New Report

The latest market research highlights petroleum refining hydrogen generation adoption trends, key players, future growth opportunities, and forecasts to 2033.

The petroleum refining hydrogen generation market is expected to grow significantly from 2025 to 2033, with an estimated market value of US$ 110.8 billion by the end of 2033, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% over the forecast period, according to the latest report by Reports and Insights. The petroleum refining hydrogen generation market is witnessing steady growth, driven by the rising demand for cleaner fuels and stricter global regulations on sulfur emissions. Hydrogen is a vital element in petroleum refining. Most notably, hydrogen finds use in hydrocracking and desulfurization processes which improve fuel quality. Refiners Invest in On-Site Hydrogen Production Technologies. More and more demand for ultra-low sulphur diesel and other cleaner petroleum products has led refiners to invest in on-site hydrogen production technologies. Moreover, increased global energy consumption and demand for efficient refining operations are also fueling the market growth. New methods to produce hydrogen including steam methane reforming (SMR) with carbon capture are becoming competitive in the market.

Key Takeaways From the Report:

  • The petroleum refining hydrogen generation market was valued at US$ 61.8 Billion in 2024.
  • The report expects the Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) segment among hydrogen generation methods to account for the largest revenue share over the forecast period owing to its present cost competitiveness and entrenched operations in refining.
  • According to the research report, by 2024, Captive Hydrogen Generation in the source categories will have the largest market share. This is due to refineries opting to generate the hydrogen required to ensure supply and limit logistic costs.
  • The technology sector is likely to remain dominated by conventional hydrogen generation technologies, as the existing refinery fleet primarily relies on proven steam reforming processes, even as low-carbon alternatives are scaled.
  • The Integrated Refineries segment among refinery types is expected to grow significantly through the forecast period, as these refineries operate at a large scale and have a higher internal hydrogen demand to cater to several on-site units.
  • The largest share is projected to be held by hydrotreating applications in application segments. This is because the hydrotreating process is by far the largest hydrogen consumer for the removal of sulfur and ensuring fuel specifications are met.

Which industry trends have propelled the petroleum refining hydrogen generation market forward?

A prominent trend influencing the market is the push for low-carbon hydrogen production to meet the energy sector’s decarbonization goals. Refineries are using SMR with carbon capture, partial oxidation and gasification of refinery off-gases to be cost effective without compromising on emission levels. Partners in the oil refining and tech sectors work together to rapidly implement sustainable hydrogen generation solutions. Using digital monitoring and automated systems will further enhance energy efficiency and curb operating costs. A growing interest in renewable hydrogen sources also suggests a long-term change in refinery plans.

What are the key opportunities for the key players and regional players in the petroleum refining hydrogen generation market during the forecast period of 2025-2033?

There are huge possibilities in the market through green hydrogen and blue hydrogen investment projects that suit global energy transition plans. Incentives and policies from the government that promote decarbonization will create an environment for hydrogen generation technology deployment in refineries. As Asia Pacific and Middle East economies expand refining capacities at a rapid pace, technology providers and equipment manufacturers are likely to gain lucrative opportunities. The aviation and transportation industry’s increasing need for quality fuels is creating demand for a stable supply of hydrogen. Refineries can boost sustainability profiles and diversify their operations by collaborating with clean energy companies.

What are the major restraints and challenges hindering the growth of the petroleum refining hydrogen generation market?

The petroleum refining hydrogen generation market has been challenged by high capital investments and operational costs for hydrogen production, especially for latter-day low-emission technologies. Reliance on natural gas to produce hydrogen means refineries are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in their raw material prices. Moving toward renewables and electric vehicles may slowly limit the use of petrol-based fuels. Thus, demand for hydrogen for refineries may wane over time. Also, environmental regulations and the cost of implementing carbon capture systems may slow adoption in price-sensitive markets. The competition from other cleaner fuel alternatives also constraints growth.

Which key segments are covered in the petroleum refining hydrogen generation market report?

The petroleum refining hydrogen generation market covered in this report is segmented –

  • By Hydrogen Generation Method: Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), Partial Oxidation of Hydrocarbons, Electrolysis, Others
  • By Source: Captive Hydrogen Generation, Merchant Hydrogen Generation
  • By Technology: Conventional Hydrogen Production, Low-Carbon/Green Hydrogen Production, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS)

What regional factors are shaping the petroleum refining hydrogen generation market, and which region is the largest contributor?

The global petroleum refining hydrogen generation market is divided into regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. According to our analysis, during the forecast period, we predict that the Asia-Pacific region will have the largest market share. The region’s increasing refining capacity, especially in countries with large refining centres that are building or upgrading refineries, to meet the growing domestic and export fuel demands is driving the regional dominance. In Asia Pacific, bigger refiners are spending on hydrogen production in order to boost operations that use hydrotreating or hydrocracking for cleaner fuel that meets specifications. In addition, increased energy demand, constant upgrades at refineries, and state schemes focusing on air quality and fuel quality parameters are driving large-scale onsite hydrogen generation investment. While Europe and North America increasingly focus on low-carbon hydrogen pathways and CCUS integration, it is the scale and near-term demand growth in the Asia Pacific that underpins its leading global position.
