Fuel Cells Market Analysis

How are Segments Performing in the Global Fuel Cell Market?

Fuel Cell Market Product Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) hold the major market share over the forecast period due to their extensive usage in telecommunications, primary systems, backup power systems, cars, forklifts, and other applications. One important aspect expected to support their demand during the predicted period is their versatility. Because it runs at a relatively cool temperature of about 80°C, it may be started quickly and system component damage is less likely. PEMFC is hence more resilient than other product categories. Furthermore, it offers benefits like reduced weight and volume in comparison to alternative fuel cell varieties. Instilling the market positioning of the category.

Solid oxide fuel cells are the fastest-growing category over the forecast period. Direct power generation from hydrogen, natural gas, and other renewable fuels is possible with solid oxide fuel cells. Therefore, the majority of the time, the power generated results in no emissions of pollutants into the environment. Because solid oxide fuel cells employ a chemical reaction to produce power, they produce little to no noise. Their integration into cars or any other mobile could contribute to driving the fuel cell market further.

Fuel Cell Market Application Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, stationary fuel cells hold a prominent market share due to the growing need for fuel cells in backup power applications and dispersed generation facilities. Furthermore, combined heat and power applications are using fuel cells more and more. The stationary sector can hold its leading position due to elements that are versatile and highly efficient.

Transportation is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period because of Europe's developed economies' growing R&D efforts as well as the growing demand for forklifts with fuel cell power. Apus, consumer goods, computers, mobile phones, tablets, personal electronics, and portable goods are among the uses for portable fuel cells. The industry is also anticipated to expand as a result of increased R&D efforts to create hydrogen-powered hybrid vehicles in both developed and developing nations.

Fuel Cells Component Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, stack, as a core component, holds a prominent market share since the electrochemical process that turns gasoline into energy is carried out by the fuel stack, which is the central component of a fuel cell system. It is the most expensive component, making a substantial contribution to the overall cost because of its intricacy and high-quality materials. In addition, the fuel stack industry is now more fragmented than other component markets, such as balance of plant (BOP). Stacks cost more as a result of this crowded market.

Balance of Plant segment is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period due to the growing need for efficient and reliable fuel cell systems highlighting the importance of bop components. Innovations in system integration and management are enhancing the overall performance and lifespan of fuel cell systems, leading to rapid growth in this segment.

• Fuel Stack
• Balance of Plant
