Global fuel cells market is expected to reach USD 6.54 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2017 and 2022

Sarasota, FL -- (SBWire) -- 01/16/2018 --Global fuel cells market is expected to witness positive growth within the forecast period on account of increasing government incentives for the adoption of fuel cells. Fuel cells are devices that electrochemically combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. Unlike batteries, fuel cells continuously generate electricity as long as a source of fuel is supplied. Fuel cells do not burn fuel, helping to make the process quiet, pollution-free and around two to three times more efficient than combustion technologies.

A fuel cell system can be a truly zero-emission source of electricity when hydrogen is produced from nonpolluting sources. Growing government incentives and favorable policies for the adoption and application of fuel cells is expected to be the major driving factor of the global fuel cells market. Moreover, the technological innovations coupled with the commercialization of fuel cells have also been aiding the growth of the fuel cells market. Rising awareness about the benefits of fuel cells and depletion of fossil fuels is expected to surge the demand for fuel cells in the years to come. However, the lack of fuel cell infrastructure and the high cost of the fuel cell is expected to be a major restraint for the global fuel cells market. Technological advancements and favorable government policies to construct hydrogen power stations are expected to provide growth opportunities for the key players in the market over the coming years.

The fuel cells market can be segmented into categories by types such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC) and others. PEMFC accounted for the largest share of the global fuel cells market in 2016. This can be attributed to the wide range of applications of PEMFCs such as forklifts, automobiles, telecommunications, data centers and primary & backup power systems. SOFC segment is expected to register remarkable growth within the forecast period owing to their ability to operate at high temperatures that reduce the requirement of costly catalysts.
