Automotive fuel cell industry function similar to batteries but offer the advantage of continuous operation without the need for recharging, as long as fuel is supplied. A fuel cell is composed of two electrodes, a negative electrode (anode) and a positive electrode (cathode) separated by an electrolyte. Hydrogen fuel is supplied to the anode, while oxygen (from the air) is fed to the cathode.

In a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, a catalyst at the anode splits hydrogen molecules into protons and electrons. The electrons travel through an external circuit, generating an electric current, while the protons pass through the electrolyte to the cathode. At the cathode, protons, electrons, and oxygen combine to form water and release heat. This process continuously produces electricity, as long as fuel and oxygen are available, making fuel cells a sustainable energy source.

The difference in energy levels between the electrodes, known as electromotive force, determines the voltage per cell. The amount of electric current generated depends on the chemical activity and quantity of fuel supplied. Unlike a conventional battery, the electrodes and electrolyte in a fuel cell are designed to remain unchanged by the chemical reactions, allowing the process to continue as long as reactants are available.

Furthermore, major market players have undertaken various strategies to increase the competition and offer enhanced services to their customers. For instance, in November 2023, Ballard Power Systems received orders for 62 hydrogen fuel cell engines from Solaris Bus & Coach sp. z o.o., a prominent European bus manufacturer. These engines will be used to power hydrogen-powered city buses in Germany and Poland, with the majority of deliveries expected in 2024. This order brings the total number of engines ordered by Solaris this year to nearly 350, showcasing significant growth from the more than 140 fuel cell city buses Solaris has previously deployed across Europe. This development highlights the increasing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology in public transportation across the continent, reflecting a broader commitment to sustainable and zero-emission transit solutions.

On the basis of propulsion, FCEV segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than three-fifths of the global automotive fuel cell market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. This is due to FCEV representing the most mature and widely adopted form of fuel cell technology in the transportation sector. FCEVs, which run entirely on hydrogen fuel, offer zero emissions, long driving ranges, and short refueling times, making them highly attractive for both passenger and commercial vehicle applications. Leading automakers, such as Toyota and Hyundai, have been producing FCEVs for several years, and expanding hydrogen refueling infrastructure has supported their broader adoption. Governments' emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and encouraging clean transportation options has further propelled the FCEV market.

However, the FCHEV segment is projected to manifest the fastest CAGR of 48.6% from 2024 to 2033, this is due to their combination of fuel cell technology with hybrid power systems. FCHEVs use both hydrogen fuel cells and electric batteries, offering enhanced flexibility and efficiency. The hybrid system allows for longer ranges and better energy management, particularly in heavy-duty and commercial vehicles, where operational demands are high. The ability to combine the strengths of fuel cells and electric batteries makes FCHEVs an attractive option, driving their rapid growth as industries look for versatile and sustainable transportation solutions.

Meanwhile, the ethanol segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due to its potential for providing a more sustainable and widely available alternative to hydrogen. Ethanol fuel cells offer advantages such as easier storage and distribution compared to hydrogen the integration of ethanol into fuel cell technology benefits from existing infrastructure and supply chains, accelerating its adoption and market growth.

Regional Analysis:

On the basis of region, North America held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023, accounting for more than one-third of the global automotive fuel cell market revenue. This is due to its early adoption of fuel cell technologies, strong government support, and substantial investments in hydrogen infrastructure. The U.S., in particular, has been a leader in fuel cell innovation, with policies and incentives promoting clean energy transitions and reducing emissions. Major automakers and companies based in North America, such as General Motors and Nikola, have been heavily investing in developing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), especially for commercial applications such as trucks and buses. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 49.2% from 2024 to 2033, this is due to aggressive government policies promoting hydrogen as a clean energy source, especially in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and China. These nations are heavily investing in hydrogen infrastructure, research, and development to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Asia-Pacific automakers, such as Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda, are at the forefront of fuel cell vehicle production, thus driving rapid adoption across the region.
