Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions

The growing need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions from a variety of sources, as well as important steps toward achieving a carbon free society, is projected to boost the global fuel cell market. Furthermore, the growing demand for automobiles with hydrogen fuel cells to meet severe government goals to enhance clean energy development is expected to boost the adoption and implementation of battery cell systems in various countries. As a result, the rising focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is driving the growth of the global fuel cell market over the projected period.

Restraints

High initial costs

The catalysts, bipolar plates, gaskets, membrane electrode assemblies, and other components are used in the manufacturing of the fuel cell systems. As a result, these products are quite expensive, and manufacturing a limited number of fuel cell systems may result in unacceptably high prices for the manufacturers. Thus, the high initial costs are hampering the growth of the fuel cell market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

Growing government initiatives

The fuel cell systems are increasingly being used to generate heat and power for application in residential and commercial spaces such as educational institutions, public buildings, hotels, restaurants, and hospitals. As a result, different state and federal governments have enacted advantageous legislative frameworks and subsidy programs to encourage the integration of devices into a wide range of applications. As a result, the growing government initiatives are creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the fuel cell market.

Challenges

Lack of infrastructure

The hydrogen is essential in fuel cell operations. The infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and distribution is known as hydrogen infrastructure. The hydrogen must be distributed once it has been produced. It can be delivered to its final destination via pipelines or other modes of transport. The availability of hydrogen fuel pumps is critical for the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Various parts of the world, however, lack the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen delivery. The scarcity of hydrogen fueling infrastructure may have an impact on future demand for hydrogen generation by fuel cell-powered vehicles. Developing hydrogen fueling stations would necessitate significant investment and intensive support from both public and private entities. Thus, the lack of infrastructure is a huge challenge for the growth of the fuel cell market during the forecast period.
