Asia Hydrogen Industry Report 2025: Continued Growth Led by China's Capacity Expansion Despite Global Headwinds - Project/Capacity Forecasts to 2030

Dublin, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia Hydrogen Market Report - 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Despite headwinds in the global hydrogen market, Asia's low-carbon hydrogen market continues to grow. China has established itself as a leader in both the regional and global low-carbon hydrogen market, holding the largest volume of active green hydrogen capacity at 254ktpa. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and expanded electrolyzer manufacturing capability are starting to narrow the cost-gap between grey hydrogen and renewable hydrogen in the country.

Over the last year, Asia's low-carbon hydrogen market has matured, with a greater proportion of projects reaching later stages of development. As of year-end 2025, 51% of the region's forecasted 2030 capacity is held in post-feasibility stages of development. Project progression is exemplified by Envision Energy's commissioning of the world's largest installed electrolyzer (500MW) in China in July 2025. The regions holds strong demand potential, rooted in its status as the largest consumer of grey hydrogen globally.

Transport remains the dominant end-use industry for low-carbon hydrogen in Asia, with approximately 2.6mtpa of capacity expected to be allocated to this application, based on current project announcements. In 2025, Asian countries continued to implement government initiatives to support the development of clean technologies for the transportation industry, including China's Ministry of Finance allocating a further $321.5 million for the third subsidy round of the FCEV City Clusters Programme in April 2025.

In the past year, hydrogen policies in Asia have seen significant growth and diversification, with many countries ramping up their efforts to accelerate the development of respective low-carbon hydrogen economies. China, India, Japan, and South Korea have been at the forefront of policy developments, with Japan's Contracts for Difference Scheme (2024) a landmark policy in terms of capital allocated ($20 billion) and length of subsidy provision (15 years).
