Global Hydrogen Aircraft Market is valued at approximately USD 10.16 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 15.4% over the forecast period 2024-2032. A hydrogen airplane is an aircraft that utilizes hydrogen as its primary fuel source instead of conventional jet fuel. Hydrogen-powered aircraft are expected to be a solution to decarbonize the aviation sector, aligning with global initiatives to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The two main models of hydrogen aircraft are combustion hydrogen planes and fuel cell hydrogen planes. Research on hydrogen as a potential fuel to power zero-emission aircraft has been on the rise in recent years. The aviation sector is working to develop technologies to tackle challenges associated with hydrogen storage, public perceptions of safety, and cost.
The hydrogen aircraft market is significantly influenced by the increase in air passenger traffic, rising environmental awareness, and stringent zero-emission targets. Global air passenger numbers have been on a steady rise, with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasting a doubling from 4.5 billion in 2019 to over 8 billion by 2037. This surge in air travel necessitates more sustainable aviation solutions to mitigate environmental impact. Moreover, the development of a green hydrogen ecosystem and increasing R&D investments present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high costs associated with the production and handling of hydrogen, technical challenges related to aircraft design, and hydrogen storage are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The key regions considered for the Global Hydrogen Aircraft Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Europe is a dominating region in the Global Hydrogen Aircraft Market in terms of revenue. The market growth in the region is being attributed to factors including technological development and implementation of sustainable aviation practices. This dominance is fueled by strong governmental support, including the European Union's Green Deal, which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Whereas, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by rising middle-class populations and increasing demand for air travel, further accelerating the adoption of hydrogen aircraft in Asia-Pacific.
