Global Fuel Cell Market Forecast To 2028 - Market Set To Surge At A CAGR Of 21.7% By 2028 Amid Rising Demand For Clean Energy

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, Jan. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global fuel Cell market by Type (PEMFC, SOFC, PAFC, MFC, DMFC, AFC), Application (Portable, Stationary, Vehicle (FCVs)), End User (Residential, C&l, Transportation, Data Center, Military & Defense), Size, Fuel, Component and Region - Forecast to 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global fuel cell market is estimated to grow from USD 3.3 Billion in 2023 to USD 8.7 Billion by 2028 and is expected to record a CAGR of 21.7% during the forecast period.

The growth of the fuel cell market is attributed to increased awareness and efforts to decrease carbon emissions and the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure, covering production, storage, and distribution. Additionally, the fuel cell market will grow in the future owing to the increased requirement for fuel cell setup in power generation and combined heat and power (CHP) applications.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell: The second largest segment of the fuel cell market, by type

Based on type, the fuel cell market has been split into two types: solid oxide fuel cell, proton exchange membrane fuel cell, phosphoric acid fuel cell, microbial fuel cell, direct methanol fuel cell, and alkaline fuel cell. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell segment is expected to be the second largest segment during the forecast period. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells exhibit significant versatility and adaptability, enabling their deployment across a spectrum of applications and power needs. Their flexibility spans from smaller, portable gadgets to larger-scale implementations, encompassing vehicles and stationary power generation.

Commercial & industrial segment is the second largest segment of the fuel cell market

By end user, the fuel cell market has been segmented into transportation, commercial & industrial, residential, data center, utilities and government/municipal institutes, and military & defense. Commercial and industrial sectors have substantial energy requirements for manufacturing processes, operations of commercial facilities, data centers, and other industrial activities. Fuel cells offer a reliable and efficient power source to meet these demanding energy needs. Numerous commercial and industrial entities aim to reduce emissions significantly. Fuel cells offer a clean energy alternative, emitting minimal pollutants in contrast to conventional fossil fuel-based power generation, thereby supporting sustainability goals.

By application, the fuel cell vehicles segment is expected to be the second largest segment during the forecast period

Based on application, the fuel cell market is segmented into stationary, fuel cell vehicles, and portable. The fuel cell vehicles segment is expected to be the second-largest segment of the fuel cell market during the forecast period. Fuel cell vehicles present a zero-emission option compared to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and governments aiming for cleaner transportation alternatives. The high power output and extended range offered by fuel cells are especially enticing for heavy-duty uses such as trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles, addressing substantial concerns related to battery weight and limited range in these applications.
