The hydrogen buses market size is predicted to grow at an astronomical CAGR of 67% over the forecast period, according to research by Future Market Insights. The industry's estimated value is expected to increase from US$ 8.45 Billion in 2023 to US$ 1426.68 Billion by 2033.
Hydrogen buses are buses that use hydrogen fuel cells as their primary source of power. Hydrogen fuel cells convert hydrogen gas and oxygen into electricity, which is used to power an electric motor that drives the bus. Hydrogen buses are an alternative to traditional diesel-powered buses, offering several benefits in terms of efficiency, environmental impact, and operating costs.
One of the key benefits of hydrogen buses is that they produce zero emissions at the tailpipe. Unlike diesel-powered buses, which emit harmful pollutants into the air, hydrogen buses produce only water vapor and heat as byproducts of their operation. This makes hydrogen buses a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional buses, particularly in urban areas where air pollution is a major concern.
The market for hydrogen buses is primarily being boosted by surging concerns over depleting natural resources and degrading environmental conditions. This has propelled the introduction of technologies that encourage the concept of eco-friendly transportation means to sustain the ecosystem.
Additionally, the increase in the number of people perturbed by the harmful effects of air pollution, rising levels of traffic as well as GHG emissions are accelerating the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell buses. These buses, unlike conventional modes of transportation like gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, are eco-friendly in nature and offer a sustainable transport option.
The market is witnessing significant impacts of technological upgrades taking place in hydrogen-powered vehicles, which is widening the scope of hydrogen-powered buses for the forecast period. The hydrogen-backed buses market is predicted to enjoy several opportunities to realize its potential over the anticipated time period. Further, the increasing investments in the infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell buses and their related charging stations are projected to incite market development in the coming years.
In the U.S., California provided funds for the production of 100 refuelling stations for hydrogen-powered vehicles to achieve its goal of 1.5 Mn zero-emission Automotives by 2025 end. Similar policies deployed by several governments across the globe to encourage environmental health and safety is expected to facilitate the adoption of hydrogen buses over the forecast period.
