Fuel Cell Vehicles is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Fuel Cell Market
The global Fuel Cell Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4541.97 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Fuel cells are energy conversion devices that generate electricity through
an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cells have significant
advantages such as high efficiency, low/zero emissions and modularity of
design. With continued technological advancement, fuel cells are increasingly
finding usage in various applications such as transportation, stationary,
portable power and other industries.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving the growth of the fuel cell market is the
rising adoption of fuel cell vehicles. With growing concerns about vehicular
emissions and fluctuating oil prices, there is increasing focus on developing
clean, sustainable alternative fuel technologies for the transport sector.
Several leading automakers such as Toyota, Honda, Hyundai etc. have already
launched commercially available fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and are ramping up
production. Governments across regions are also providing various incentives
and subsidies to promote the adoption of FCVs. Further technological progress
is expected to make FCVs more affordable and competitive with battery electric
vehicles, accelerating their adoption globally over the coming years.
Segment
