Global fuel cells market is expected to witness positive growth within the forecast period on account of increasing government incentives for the adoption of sustainable energy alternatives for power generation. A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or another fuel to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. If hydrogen is the fuel, electricity, water, and heat are the only products. Fuel cells are unique in terms of the variety of their potential applications; they can provide power for systems as large as a utility power station and as small as a laptop computer. Growing government incentives and favorable policies for the adoption and application of fuel cells is expected to be the major driving factor of the global fuel cells market. Moreover, the technological innovations coupled with the commercialization of fuel cells have also been aiding the growth of the fuel cells market. Rising awareness about the benefits of fuel cells and depletion of fossil fuels is expected to surge the demand for fuel cells in the years to come. However, the lack of fuel cell infrastructure and the high cost of the fuel cell is expected to be a major restraint for the global fuel cells market. Technological advancements and favorable government policies to construct hydrogen power stations are expected to provide growth opportunities for the key players in the market over the coming years.

The fuel cells market can be segmented into categories by types such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC) and others. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) dominated the global fuel cells market in 2016 owing to the wide range of applications of PEMFCs. SOFC segment is expected to register remarkable growth within the forecast period due to their ability to operate at high temperatures that reduce the requirement of costly catalysts.
