Key drivers of the hydrogen fuel cells market include rising environmental concerns and the need for curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
The favorable government support and R&D initiatives for developing hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure will boost the market during the forecast period.
The application in the automotive industry and the use of fuel-efficient technologies will propel the growth of the hydrogen fuel cells market in the coming years.
Rising environmental consciousness
Fuel cells use the chemical energy of hydrogen to produce electricity. They have the capacity to provide power to large utility stations, and electrical appliances in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings. The cells emit water thereby reducing CO2 emissions. There are no air pollutants that release smog and have no health risks during the point of operation. The need for sustainable development is pushing industry players to transition to cleaner fuel resources which in turn will drive the growth of the hydrogen fuel cells market during the forecast period.
Ongoing R&D to build a robust infrastructure
The urgent need for tackling the challenges of climate change and the fast depletion of fossil fuels has forced government authorities around the world to accelerate their research on hydrogen fuel cells. The potential to develop a renewable transportation fuel is huge. Initiatives have been adopted to improve its durability, storage capability and to reduce the cost. There is a need to upgrade the polymer electrolyte membrane for stationary and portable applications. These rapid developments will boost the growth prospects of the hydrogen fuel cells market in the upcoming years.
Beneficial features for the automotive industry
Fuel-efficient vehicles are the future as the automobile industry shifts to green hydrogen. Due to stringent regulations for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and rising petrol, diesel prices hydrogen fuel cells provide a lucrative opportunity. Hydrogen is an abundant renewable resource. It is much more fuel-efficient and reduces the consumption of fossil fuels to a large extent. The energy generation is higher with the faster-charging ability and longer range. Moreover, it has versatile applications in both mobile and stationary use cases. Remote storage is easy making it accessible to people living in distant regions. These factors will bolster the growth of the hydrogen fuel cells market in the subsequent years.
High initial investment
The technology is still new and will require dedicated time, money, and energy for developing into a mature sector. Raw materials which are used as catalysts in fuel cells are metals such as platinum and iridium which are costly. Moreover, regulatory issues and a lack of proper fueling infrastructure will stifle the hydrogen fuel cells market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the segmentations are air-cooled and water-cooled. The heat in Air-cooled fuel cells is passed through cooling plates and eliminated through airflow channels. Water-cooled systems have liquid water added straight to fuel cell flow channels.
Based on application, the segmentations are stationary, transport, and portable. Stationery applications are used for backup power to be deployed in remote locations or single power plant stations in cities and towns. The transport applications involve using it as a fuel in internal combustion engine vehicles. The hydrogen generates electricity that powers up the electric motor for driving wheels and other vehicular functions. The portable applications include usage in electronic devices like mobile phones, laptops, etc.
Based on region, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate in the hydrogen fuel cell market share with 47% due to rapid technological developments in emerging economies like China. On the other hand, North America and Europe together constitute 45% in the global market.
The hydrogen fuel cell market is moderately fragmented with major players dominating the market. It was recorded that the top 3 companies occupied about 36% market share.
The top companies analyzed in the hydrogen fuel cell market report are Panasonic, Plug Power, Toshiba ESS, Ballard, SinoHytec, Hydrogenics, Honda, Hyundai Mobis, Toyota Denso, Elring Klinger, Bosch/Powercell, Symbio, etc.
