Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising use of fuel-efficient vehicles

As gasoline is a fossil fuel, it is not a renewable source of energy and will eventually run out. To support sustainable growth, it is critical to develop and utilize alternative fuel sources. This entails the use of hydrogen fuel cell automobiles, as well as electric vehicles that do not require gasoline and are more cost effective than traditional vehicles. The hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are more efficient than internal combustion engines and hybrid vehicles, with 60-70% efficiency advantage over the other two. Due to the increase in price of diesel and gasoline, the demand for fuel efficient automobiles has surged. This is also related to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and an increase in firm’s desire to maximize profits from these reserves. Thus, rising use of fuel-efficient vehicles is propelling the expansion of the hydrogen fuel cells market during the forecast period.

Restraints

High initial investment

The hydrogen fuel cells technology allows propulsion systems that do not produce greenhouse gases or other hazardous pollutants like nitrogen oxides or particulate matter from the output system. This characteristic encourages market players to use the technology. However, the high cost of raw materials such as platinum in the fuel cell anode and carbon fiber to manufacture hydrogen fuel tanks and other components needed to construct hydrogen infrastructure is projected to stymie the growth of the global hydrogen fuel cells market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

Growing government initiatives

The increasing regulatory rules to reduce carbon emissions are expected to expand the market for hydrogen fuel cells. Due to the byproducts of hydrogen fuel cells, there is a high demand for fuel automobiles that do not produce toxic pollutants. The hydrogen fuel cells market expansion is being fueled by the effect of switching from gasoline to hydrogen fuel cells due to the benefits associated with hydrogen fuel cells, such as superior performance compared to gasoline and the benefit of lowering emissions. As a result, the growing government initiatives are creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the hydrogen fuel cells market.

Challenges

High cost of hydrogen fuel cells

The high cost of hydrogen fuel cells stifles the hydrogen fuel cells market’s expansion. The hydrogen fuel cells market’s growth is hampered by the widespread usage of gas sensors and gas detectors in hydrogen plants. Thus, this factor is a challenge for the market growth for hydrogen fuel cells.
