The short answer to the question is yes. The main reason is that the the chemical process necessary for the generation of hydrogen needs platinum as a catalyzer.

There are strong indicators that in the following years, several countries will develop a hydrogen economy. The process of "burning" hydrogen does not generate carbon dioxide and this is very attractive for the countries who want to place an emphasis in developing a "green" economy.

The demand of platinum will increase and if the supply does not increase in parallel, scarcity will be created.
