HYDROGEN REFUELING NOZZLE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into TypeTK16, TK25

• TypeTK16: It mainly refers to the development of high-pressure hydrogen dispensing which is often used in fuel cell vehicles.

• TK25: It is mainly designed for the refueling of high-duty and commercial vehicles, providing long-lasting durability and an efficient refueling system.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Car, Bus, Truck

• Car: It mainly refers to the refueling the hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles with the help of nozzles.

• Bus: The hydrogen produced by our PEM electrolysers allows Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) to be refuelled as quickly as conventional diesel buses.

• Truck: The hydrogen fueling nozzles have a data interface and have an exchangeable nozzle receiver. Application in trucks is by means material handling sector, such as lift trucks deoending upon the type of usage.

DRIVING FACTORS

Government Incentives and Environmental Regulations Boosting Market Growth

Government support and strict environmental rules and regulations have boosted the market of this market, Growing emphasis on clean energy adoption and making huge investments in the infrastructure are drinking the demand in this industry and encouraging the market to develop more innovative solutions to make it more affordable to more customers.

• As per the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), over $9.5 billion has been allocated under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to develop hydrogen hubs and infrastructure, which includes refueling technology such as nozzles. This funding supports the deployment of 400+ hydrogen refueling stations by 2030 in the U.S. alone, directly impacting nozzle demand.

• According to the European Commission’s Fit for 55 Package, EU countries are mandated to install hydrogen refueling stations every 150 km along core TEN-T networks by 2030. This regulation has pushed manufacturers and station operators to procure hydrogen nozzles capable of serving commercial trucks and buses, where refueling flow rates can exceed 120 g/s.

Technological Innovations and Expanding Hydrogen Infrastructure Accelerating Demand

Increasing initiatives in the improvement of technologies and the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure are the major factors for the hydrogen refueling nozzle market growth. The incorporation of smart technology and lightweights is the best example which makes the market more productive and efficient, also focusing more on safety measures. The expansion of this market especially in the regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions also drives the market to expand more rapidly.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

High Costs and Limited Infrastructure Hindering Market Growth

The exorbitant expense that is made to improve the nozzle technology limits the growth of the market in terms of refueling infrastructure development. The initial cost requires high investments to build filling stations and nozzles, which is a main obstacle in the market. Furthermore, due to the diction region, this market experiences unequal distribution of the refueling station. These are the factors that can impede industry growth.

• According to the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), hydrogen refueling nozzles must comply with strict safety standards like SAE J2601 and ISO 17268, adding up to $30,000 per unit in development and certification costs. This acts as a significant barrier for small and medium-sized manufacturers.

• According to data from the German National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW GmbH), over 18% of nozzles in Germany’s H2 stations reported compatibility issues with foreign vehicle models in 2023. This lack of standardization hinders cross-border refueling network expansion and slows nozzle adoption rates.
