Market Story
Bipolar plates form the core structural component of fuel cells, facilitating gas diffusion, electron conduction, and thermal management. With the world moving rapidly toward decarbonization, demand for hydrogen fuel cells across mobility, aerospace, and stationary power applications is surging.

Governments in Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the U.S. are actively promoting hydrogen infrastructure development, catalyzing the need for high-performance bipolar plates that offer low contact resistance, corrosion resistance, and lightweight design.

Advanced materials - including graphite composites and coated stainless steel - are improving power density and extending the lifespan of proton exchange membrane (PEM) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The ongoing industrial focus on mass production and cost reduction is expected to further accelerate adoption across both automotive and industrial energy systems.
