World Fuel Cell Technology Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014 - 2020

Fuel cells are used for converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The conversion takes place via electromechanical reactions, for example battery. However, the fuel is mainly supplied from the outside; thus making these cells feel as if the engine is converting fuel electricity without actually burning it. The adoption rate of fuel cells has increased owing to the rising need for clean energy. Furthermore, the dramatic shift and focus towards generation of renewable energy coupled by government initiatives has kept the future of the market robust.

Growing private as well as public investments are driving the market. In addition, the high energy density of the fuel cells compared to the conventional battery has further added to the growth of the market. Moreover, need resilient energy equipment, benefits over backup power and recent developments in hydrogen storage has kept the future of the market bright. High catalyst cost and lack of proper fuel infrastructure have hindered the growth of the fuel cell market. However, advent of new technologies and growing demand of fuel cell automobiles would create greater opportunities.
