Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity through electrochemical reactions. A Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) is a type of electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell. It can also be used in combination with a battery or supercapacitor to power its onboard electric motor. In an FCEV, hydrogen is pumped into the car and then fed to the fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stack is the center where hydrogen is electrochemically converted into electricity with no combustion and zero emissions. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are generally used in fuel cell electric vehicles.

[289 Pages Report] The Automotive Fuel Cell Market is estimated to be 13.6 thousand units in 2020 and projected to reach 932.6 thousand units by 2028, at a CAGR of 69.7%. The key growth drivers for the market are higher efficiency than gasoline and diesel, longer driving range, fast refueling, increasing government initiatives and investment for the development of fuel cell technology, and increasing use of fuel cells in the transportation sector.
Fuel stack contributes to the largest share of the cost of a fuel cell system. Hence, focus is on the development of fuel stacks to reduce the overall cost. The cost of an individual fuel stack reduces as the number of fuel stack produced increases. Hence, mass production of fuel cells is a way to reduce their cost. To achieve mass production of fuel cells, adoption rate of fuel cells needs to increase. The cost of an individual fuel cell system would decrease significantly, owing to intensive R&D activities in the field of fuel cell technology. Hence, the cost of each component is also expected to decrease in the future.
The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rise in demand for personal mobility and increasing per capita income in the emerging markets. Also, many countries are planning to convert taxi fleets into fuel cell vehicles. For instance, South Korea is aiming to have 120,000 fuel cell taxies on the road by 2040. In addition, various taxi fleet manufacturers such as Hype (France) are selecting fuel cell cars. The company targets to increase its fuel cell taxi fleet from 100 to 600 in 2020.
The high proportion of passenger vehicles in the total vehicle production and demand for fuel cell buses for public and private transportation are driving the Asia Oceania automotive fuel cell market. Also, Asia Oceania 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 in expanding their production capability and promote fuel cell vehicles. For instance, Hyundai is planning to invest USD 6.7 billion to enhance its fuel cell output and increase production capacity by more than 200-fold by 2030.
The Automotive fuel cell market is dominated by a few global players and comprises several regional players. Some of the key manufacturers operating in the market are Ballard Power Systems (Canada), ITM Power (UK), Plug Power (US), Delphi Technologies (UK), Doosan Corporation (Japan), Hydrogenics (Canada), and Proton Power System PLC (UK), among others.
The factors restraining the growth of the automotive fuel cell market are highly flammability and difficulty in leakage detection of hydrogen. Also, the rising demand for BEVs and HEVs, insufficient hydrogen infrastructure, and high vehicle costs are challenges for the growth of the automotive fuel cell market.

The study involved four major activities for projecting the size of the automotive fuel cell market, which include exhaustive secondary research to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. The bottom-down approach was employed to estimate the complete market size. Post that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
The study involves a country-level analysis of the automotive fuel cell market. This analysis involves historical trends as well as existing penetrations by country and vehcile type. The analysis is projected on the basis of various factors such as growth trends in FCEV sales, FCEV production, initiatives, funding, and regulations or mandates related to FCEVs. In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the automtoive fuel cell market. Secondary sources include company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [for example, automobile organizations/associations, traders, distributors, and suppliers of fuel cells, other components vendors, and government entities], electric vehicle magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, technical articles, and databases (for example, MarkLines and Factiva).
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the automtoive fuel cell market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand- and supply-side OEMs (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and component manufacturers across three major regions, namely, North America, Asia Oceania, and Europe. Approximately 70% and 30% of primary interviews have been conducted from the supply-side and demand side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The figure given below illustrates the break-up of the profile of industry experts who participated in primary discussions.

The bottom-up approach was used to estimate and validate the total size of the automotive fuel cell market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:
The bottom-up approach has been used to estimate and validate the size of the automotive fuel cell market. In this approach, the vehicle sales statistics for each vehicle type (passenger car, light commercial vehicle, bus, and truck) have been considered at a country level.
To determine the market size, in terms of volume, a model mapping of fuel cell vehicles has been carried out for each country and vehicle type. The number of FCEV models varied from country to country. After analyzing the models, the segments have been classified further into power output type, component, and region. Then the market penetration of the automotive fuel cell segments, from the model mapping, is multiplied by the country-level FCEV sales considered in the study, which gives us the volume of each segment type. The country-level data is summed up to arrive at the region-level data in terms of volume. The summation of the country-level markets gives the regional market size, and further summation of the regional market size provides the global automotive fuel cell market size.
After arriving at the overall market sizeusing the market size estimation processes as explained abovethe market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both demand- and supply-side.
