High initial costs associated with setting up hydrogen production facilities are one of the major restraints for the chemical hydrogen market. The capital-intensive nature of building and operating hydrogen production plants can be a significant barrier for companies looking to enter or expand in the chemical hydrogen market. Furthermore, the lack of infrastructure for hydrogen transportation and distribution adds to the overall costs of hydrogen production and limits market growth.
Regulatory challenges and uncertainties surrounding hydrogen production and usage are also acting as restraints for the chemical hydrogen market. The lack of consistent policies and regulations related to hydrogen production, storage, and usage can create uncertainty for investors and hinder market growth. Additionally, the lack of clear guidelines for carbon pricing and emissions reduction targets can impact the financial viability of hydrogen projects and deter investments in the chemical hydrogen market.
