Fuel Cell Market size worth USD 25.5 billon by 2024: Global Market Insights Inc.

Global fuel cell market includes PEMFC, SOFC, and DMFC as key product segments. PEMFC dominated with 60% of global revenue in 2015. The industry is further categorized on application basis as stationary, portable, and transport. Stationary was largest segment while portable fuel cell market shows strong growth promise along with transport applications.

Government initiatives coupled with increasing awareness towards clean energy is forecast to be key reason driving fuel cells market size growth. For instance, European Union’s commitment to reduce 80% emissions by 2050 by focusing mainly on transport may positively impact industry growth for transport applications.

EPA regulations towards reducing greenhouse gases and amendments like Clean Air Act may drift focus towards fuel cells electric vehicles (FCEV) to reduce carbon dioxide emission. This has resulted shift in focus of automotive makers towards fuel cells technology over conventional energy source. Hyundai and Daimler are prominent players in FCEV market.

High technology switching cost accompanied with lack of infrastructure may negatively impact industry growth during the forecast period. However, the industry has witnessed government initiative which may drive industry growth. For instance, in 2014, UK confirmed to provide USD 17.4 million for refueling station infrastructure and hydrogen fueled automotive.

Basic fuel cells raw material includes electrodes, membranes, catalysts, polymers and ceramics. These raw materials are procured from suppliers along with pumps, valves subsystem and stack membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which are forwarded to system integrators. These pumps and valves are used to control fuel flow (hydrogen, methanol and natural gas).
