The global fuel cell market size is projected to reach USD 24.81 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.9% over the forecast period. International pressure on energy diversification is advocating positive investment environment for alternative energy.
Fuel cell is closing in to be the most efficient form of alternative energy generation. Fuel cell shipments have witnessed rise over the past three years, compelling manufacturers to increase operations. Fuel cell systems cost has also seen a decline owing to significant innovations in terms of efficiency and working cost.
Low gas prices will remain a specific concern for this market as natural gas based power generation is showing a radical decrease in operating cost and significant increase in output. Rapid rise in efforts to capitalize on the potential of fuel cells will drive this market at an estimated 20.9% CAGR over the forecast period.
The fuel cell market is likely to witness aggressive strategic alliances with market players looking to expand their end-user segments in emerging markets. Progressive private-public partnerships are predicted to be essential for attaining an economically viable technological shift. Japan’s vision of Hydrogen Society is anticipated to bode well for market growth by 2020
Stationary hydrogen power plants is expected to emerge as the largest application segment and account for over 70% of market in terms of shipped units. Factors such as high efficiency, flexibility to use different fuels, and utilization of direct current are the key demand drivers.
