세계의 수소 항공기 시장 - 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Hydrogen Aircraft Market was valued at USD 390.9 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 28.7% from 2025 to 2034. This expansion is driven by the increasing adoption of sustainable aviation fuels and a stronger emphasis on reducing carbon emissions. Hydrogen, produced from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, presents a viable, eco-friendly alternative to conventional aviation fuels, significantly lowering the industry's carbon footprint. The transition to hydrogen-powered aviation is expected to begin with regional and short-haul flights, eventually scaling up to long-haul operations as technology advances. Investments in research and development focused on fuel cell technology and hydrogen combustion engines are crucial for overcoming energy density challenges. Strategic partnerships and cross-border collaborations are playing a key role in driving innovation and expediting the integration of hydrogen aircraft into commercial and military fleets.

Technological advancements in hydrogen propulsion systems are reshaping the aviation industry. The market is segmented based on power source into hydrogen combustion and hydrogen fuel cells. The hydrogen combustion segment was valued at USD 263.3 million in 2024, with growth driven by stringent emission regulations compelling airlines to adopt cleaner propulsion technologies. The hydrogen fuel cell segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 26.3% from 2025 to 2034, fueled by increased investment in high-performance fuel cells designed for larger aircraft.

The market is further categorized by technology into fully hydrogen-powered aircraft and hybrid electric aircraft. The fully hydrogen-powered aircraft segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 30.1% from 2025 to 2034, supported by advancements in hydrogen storage and fuel cell efficiency, along with favorable government policies promoting green aviation.

By range, the market is divided into three categories: up to 1,000 km, 1,000 km to 2,000 km, and over 2,000 km. The segment for up to 1,000 km was valued at USD 219.6 million in 2024, with regional and short-haul flights driving demand for hydrogen-powered aircraft in this range. Aircraft design tailored to optimize range and passenger capacity is accelerating adoption in this segment.

Passenger capacity is another key market determinant, with segmentation into up to 4 passengers, 5 to 10 passengers, and more than 10 passengers. The up-to-4-passenger category accounted for USD 87.8 million in 2024, as advancements in hydrogen storage enable greater range and operational efficiency.

The market is also segmented by application into commercial and military & defense aviation. The commercial segment dominated in 2024, valued at USD 265.8 million, as the push for hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft gained momentum. Strategic investments and collaborations in liquid hydrogen technology are fostering innovation in this space.

Regionally, North America is expected to experience substantial growth, reaching USD 1.87 billion by 2034. The presence of major hydrogen aircraft manufacturers and government initiatives aimed at advancing hydrogen propulsion technology are driving regional market expansion. The US hydrogen aircraft market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 29.1% from 2025 to 2034, with increased funding and investment in hydrogen-powered aviation and VTOL systems shaping the industry's future.
