Market Overview

The Automotive Fuel Cell System Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 13% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).

The automotive fuel cell market is a revolutionary development that reduces the cost of infrastructure and other resources. The fuel cells use either hydrogen or methane as the primary energy provider. Both the fuel cells are cleaner sources of fuel, as against the conventional lithium-ion battery cells.
Eight of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers have plans to commercialize Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) by 2025. With the recent Volkswagen emissions scandal, China has made efforts to promote fuel cell technology in automobiles.
In 2015, China initiated an agenda to produce 333 fuel cell-based buses and cars in the country to cut down on the conventional fuel emissions. China’s 13th five-year plan is going to have a great impact on fuel cells as it focuses on clean energy and technology.
Governments are increasingly investing in alternative sources of energy such as fuel cells. As fuel cells emit no greenhouse gases (GHG) and pollutants, they can impact the environment positively. Thus, governments are taking initiatives, making investments, and promoting the use of fuel cells.
Asia-Pacific registered the highest market share, followed closely by Europe and North America.

Key Market Trends

Rise in Demand for Alternative Fuel to Drive Market

Hydrogen market, which is a segment of fuel cell market, has great potential as compared to biogas, natural gas, methanol, and hydrocarbons. The low density of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) compared to gasoline, and the fact that fuel cell equipped vehicles are not completely green like pure electric vehicles are restraining factors for the automotive fuel cell market.

Fuel cells convert hydrogen from a variety of sources into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen, yielding only water as an end product. Some fuel cell technologies, such as those using proton exchange membranes, need very clean hydrogen to operate well, while others, such as direct methanol fuel cells, are made to run on other fuels.It has also developed a way to combine its fuel cells with natural gas turbines, using the fuel cell's excess heat to boost their efficiency to around 60%.

In the upcoming years, fuel cells could power the cars, with hydrogen replacing the petroleum fuel that is used in most vehicles nowadays. Vehicle manufacturers like Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, and Toyotahave started their manufacturing and production of fuel cell technologies and are running effectively. Stationary fuel cells are the largest, most powerful fuel cells. They are designed to provide a clean, reliable source of on-site power to hospitals, banks, airports, military bases, schools, and homes. Fuel cells also reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in vehicles. Electrolytes like hydrogen, ethanol, formic acid, ammonia are renewable and that could be used to replace current fossil energy carriers (Coal, Oil and Gas).

Asia-Pacific and Europe is Expected to Witness Higher Growth Rate over the Forecast Period

The high segment of passenger vehicles in the total vehicle production and demand for fuel cell buses for public and private transportation are driving the Asia-Pacific automotive fuel cell market. Also, Asia-Pacific region represents the biggest market for green technologies in the world, and as of now, the largest markets for fuel cells in the region are Japan, China, and South Korea. Moreover, the region is home to leading OEMs such as Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda.

These companies are planning to invest heavily to expand their production capability and promote fuel cell vehicles. Also, the increase in power generation from cleaner energy sources is further expected to boost the advancements in fuel cell technology market in the region.

Several countries across the region are also substantially investing in the development of hydrogen infrastructure and have introduced various methods to expand hydrogen refueling station availability.

On the other hand, North America market will witness considerable growth on account of the rise in investments in the manufacturing of advanced fuel cell systems.

Competitive Landscape

The automotive fuel cell system market is dominated by several players such as Ballard Power Systems Inc., Ceramic Fuel Cells, Delphi Technologies, Doosan Fuel Cell Co Ltd, Hydrogenics, and Nedstack Fuel Cell Technology BV.These Companies are expanding their business by new innovative technologies, so that they can have edge over their competitors.

On September 28th, 2019, Hyundai collaborated with Cummins in order to explore opportunities to develop new generation fuel cell technology that would power future vehicles. Hyundai fuel cell technology and Cummins electric motors together expanded their new electric and fuel cell powertrains so that they intend to work with North American OEMs for the integration of these systems into their vehicles.
On October 19th, 2019, Bosch signs agreement with Sweden's Powercell to mass produce hydrogen fuel cells as they take less time to refuel than electric car batteries, making them more suitable for use in vehicles rather than staying on roads.
