Electric Vehicles Fuel Cell Market

The global Electric Vehicles Fuel Cell market was valued at USD 2.42 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 29.00 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 36.40%% from 2021 to 2028.

A fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) uses a fuel cell along with a small battery or super capacitor, to power its on-board electric motor. The electricity generated by fuel cells is due to the use of oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen and hence are categorised as zero-emissions vehicles. Fuel cells are also used in several types of automobiles such as forklifts, especially in indoor applications where their clean emissions are important to air quality, and in space applications.

The global Electric Vehicles Fuel Cell market is segmented based on products, applications, regions, and countries. The regional segmentation includes the current and forecast demand for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. All the segments have been analyzed based on present and future trends. The research study provides complete assessment of the market on the basis of competition, drivers, restraints, opportunities, trends, and industry-authenticated data. The market is estimated from 2016 to 2020 with forecast from 2021 to 2028. 

COVID-19 pandemic led to government of numerous countries across the globe to impose strict lockdown restrictions during the preliminary stages. In 2021, numerous countries faced the adverse effects of the pandemic due to the outbreak of second wave, which also led governments to again impose lockdown measures. Business shutdowns, partial business operations, and travel restrictions have led to challenges in supply chain and in turn production. However, it is expected that reopening of trade activities, the market will witness steady growth in the demand in the coming years. Impact of COVID-19 on the market demand is considered while estimating the current and forecast market size and growth trends for all the regions and countries.

Electric vehicle fuel cells offer better fuel economy compared to ICE vehicles. The efficiency of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is twice as high as the efficiency of a conventional petrol internal combustion engine (ICE) automobiles. Hence, better fuel efficiency and increased driving range is expected to fuel the demand for electric vehicles fuel cell market. 

The increasing environmental concerns and awareness among consumers is anticipated to augment the growth of the electric vehicles fuel cell market during the forecast period. This is due to rise in environment degradation and depletion of natural resources. Additionally, numerous technologies that support the eco-friendly concept to withstand the environment are being introduced in the market. Furthermore, increasing awareness of the consequences of air pollution and rise in greenhouse gas emission due to increasing vehicles are also supporting the of fuel cell electric vehicle, as they are categorised as zero-emissions vehicles. 

The high initial investments setting up hydrogen infrastructure is anticipated to hamper the growth of the electric vehicles fuel cell market. The costs required to set up of hydrogen fuel stations are quite high as compared to other fuels like petrol or diesel. This is owing to the expensive equipment required to set up this hydrogen fuel infrastructure and increasing necessity for safety measures since hydrogen is easily combustible fuel.
