Description

Phosphoric acid fuel cellscontain an anode and a cathode which is made of a finely spread platinum substance. They are quite resilient to carbon monoxidepoisoning but have a tendency to have lower efficiency in producing electricity. Though these cells function at a moderately high degree oftemperatures of around 180ºC, the overall efficiency can be above 80% if this process heat is bound for cogeneration.

These cells are a significantempowering technology for the energy portfolio of the world. They have the capacity to revolutionise the way nations create an authority for their countries, offering more-efficient, cleaner alternatives to the burning of gasoline and other fossil fuels.

The Global Phosphoric Acid Fuel CellsMarket was found to value at USD XX.XX million in 2016 and it is estimated that it’ll reach USD XX million by 2022, at a CAGR of XX%% during the forecast period, 2017 to 2022.

Market Dynamics

The analysis of the market shows that the major drivers of the growth in the market are expected to be:

• Increase in application of the cells in hybrid electric vehicle / electrical vehicle /plug-in hybrid vehicle

Geographic Analysis

North America observedconsiderable growth and was able to achieve for most of the global market share in 2017. It is expected that the trend will continue within the forecast period due to the government regulations that encourages the adoption of fuel cells. In US, the federal government offers funding for a range of fuel cells.
It is expected that the European marketwill witness steady growth because of increase in demand for clean energy and big investments associated to hydrogen infrastructure development, majorly in U.KandGermany. Additionally, the penetration in the electric cars market by the major manufacturersis probable to further drive the demand for fuel cells in Europe.

Latin America market is predicted to observe moderate growth. The major consumer of fuel cells is Brazil, the reason for which is the large automotive industry. Furthermore, the rise in the level of population along with the tourism events are likely to intensify the demand for clean energy.

APAC region is probably going to be the fastest growing segment within the forecast period. Population explosion and Growing urbanization especially in China and India are likely to enhance the demand for construction activitiesand energy generationin the region. The growing investment in clean energy research & development in the emerging economies and demand for hybrid vehicles to regulate the high levels of pollution is expected to further increase the demand for fuel cells.

The Middle East and Africa region have observed moderate growth against the other regions. The key markets in the region are UAE and South Africa. These markets have targeted fuel cells as the solution for the anticipated energy shortfall. Globalization and the heavy invasion of emigrants in the Middle East, especially in countries such as UAE, Qatar, and Oman have augmented the demand for infrastructural development. Such developments are likely to propel the demand for clean energy, hence aiding the growth of the fuel cells market within the forecast period.
