Fuel Cell Market – Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The global Fuel Cell Market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 26.0% from 2023-2030.

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that are being publicized as a clean source of electricity. They are naturally more effective than many of the other combustion engines available today, making them excellent providers of alternative green energy technology in automobiles. Uninterrupted power supply systems (UPS), military power units, different electric appliances, combined heat & power (CHP) systems, submarines, and automobiles are examples of fuel cell uses. Fuel cell technology is becoming increasingly popular as a heating source in commercial buildings, as it produces no emissions.

The increase in demand for high energy density is one of the major factors driving the growth of the Fuel Cell Market. Also, the high need for a quick refueling system has a positive impact on the fuel cell power train market. The surge in consumption of fossil fuel enhancing concentration levels of greenhouse gas emission and air pollutants has increased demand for the cell power train market. The rise in environmental concerns among the population drives the market. The increase in government initiatives to support fuel cell powertrain and further reduce carbon emissions across the globe further influence the market.

On the other hand, high flammability and challenges in the detection of hydrogen leakage are expected to obstruct market growth. Also, high demand for BEVs and HEVs, and limited infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles are projected to challenge the Fuel Cell Market in the forecast period of 2023-2030.

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the Fuel Cell Market owing to the strict lockdowns and social distancing to contain the spread of the virus. The economic uncertainty, partial shutdown of the business and low consumer confidence impacted demand for fuel cell powertrain technology. The supply chain got hampered during the pandemic along with delayed logistics activities. However, the Fuel Cell Market is expected to regain its pace during the post-pandemic scenario due to the easing of the restrictions.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

The fuel cell market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. The increasing demand for clean energy, rising government initiatives and investments, and the growing focus on reducing carbon emissions are some of the key factors driving the growth of the fuel cell market. The transportation sector is expected to be the largest market for fuel cells, with the automotive industry being the primary driver of growth. However, the stationary power generation sector is also expected to witness substantial growth, owing to the increasing demand for backup power and the rising adoption of fuel cell-based microgrids. Its adoption is expected to accelerate as more industries and governments shift towards sustainable and clean energy sources.
