Market Overview    

A fuel cell is a type of device that uses electrochemical processes to transform the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity. Mainly, hydrogen is used as a fuel in the fuel cells. To keep the processes that generate electricity going, these cells need a constant supply of fuel and an oxidising agent (usually oxygen). As a result, until the supply of fuel and oxygen is shut off, these cells can continue to generate power. Fuel cells produce power straight from hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in no carbon dioxide or other pollutants being released into the atmosphere. Fuel cells have a better efficiency than traditional fuels, which is its most significant advantage over traditional fuels. When compared to internal combustion engines, they also produce less noise, making them more suited for business environments such as hospitals. Fuel cells finds applications in anything from a single family house to a large utility power stations and media communications, hospitals and in the vehicles as well.

The global fuel cell market to see a growth due to increasing approach towards the use of sustainable energy options. Depletion in non-renewable energy sources will boost the demand of fuel cell in the coming years

Growth Factors

Due to its use in variety of applications, ranging from utility power plants to the laptops we operate, the fuel cell will have a huge demand in the near future. The worldwide fuel cells market is predicted to be driven by rising government incentives and favourable policies for the adoption and deployment of fuel cells. Factors such as ease of storage, lesser carbon emissions than combustion engines, and a longer life period are going to drive up demand for such cells on the market. In the coming years, rising knowledge of the benefits of fuel cells, as well as the depletion of non - renewable resources, are expected to propel the growth of the fuel cell market.

However, a key restraint for the global fuel cell market is likely to be the absence of fuel cell infrastructure and the high cost of the fuel cell.
