Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) Market
Growth Factors of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) Market
The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) market size was valued at USD 323.52 million in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 558.05 million in 2024 to USD 2873.19 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.73% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The outbreak of COVID-19 presented major issues to the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) market concerning stationary use. Due to the shutdown of few large-scale sectors in the commercial and industrial front, there has been a decline in the demand for PEMFC systems. Furthermore, disrupted supply chain affected the production and delivery of PEMFC components which resulted to delay in fabrication and high costs.
Increasing awareness about the need for cleaner energy solutions that will lower CO2 emissions is driving equipment with proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for stationary use. PEMFCs deliver clean power for the world as they can generate electricity with water and heat being the only outputs. This helps support international sustainable development aspirations because electricity generation produces about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, as estimated by the U.S. EPA in 2021.
Over the last few years, the total number of establishments in the data centers has increased significantly mainly because of the growing IT and telecommunication sectors. Internet of Things (IoT) devices have played a key role in enhancing this growth as data centers are required to manage the tremendous amount of data produced by these devices. The primary reason for this trend relates to the processes of digitalization both in various fields and industries.
