The global hydrogen sensor market has reached a market valuation of US$ 314.4 million in 2022 and is expected to evolve at a CAGR of 6.7% to climb to US$ 599 million by the end of 2032.
Sales of hydrogen sensors accounted for around 1% share of the global sensors market at the end of 2021.
For instance, Siemens struck a deal with SPIC (State Power Investment Corporation Limited) China to develop and use green hydrogen to power diverse demands and contribute to the construction of a cleaner energy environment in China.
Likewise, RWE agreed with ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe to build an electrolyzer facility in Lingen and create green hydrogen for ThyssenKrupp Steel’s Duisburg steel factory.
