Hydrogen Fuel Cells Market Rising Growth 60.1% by 2030

The hydrogen fuel cells market is growing at a CAGR of 60.1% in the timeframe 2022 to 2030. Hydrogen fuel cells are utilized in the creation of power from hydrogen. The increasing regulatory rules to reduce carbon emissions are expected to expand the market for hydrogen fuel cells.

To function, hydrogen fuel cells require a constant supply of oxygen and fuel. A fuel cell is a device that uses a chemical process to assist in the generation of electrical power.

The term fuel cell refers to a device that converts chemical potential energy into electrical energy. Fuel cells are used to generate power from a variety of consumer fuels. It is made up of renewable energy and hydrogen. This is anticipated to provide electricity for a wide range of applications, including buses, cars, and commercial constructions. The overall consumer demand for hydrogen fuel cells will be boosted further by increased investment by automotive companies in the manufacturing of fuel cell automobiles and a growing public interest in ecologically sustainable products.

The global hydrogen fuel cells market size is expected to be worth around US$ 131.06 billion by 2030 from at US$ 1.91 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 60.1% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

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.
