Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) Substrate market size was valued at US$ 328 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 414 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.4% during review period.
The gas diffusion layer substrate (GDL) used in fuel cells is responsible for supplying hydrogen and air electrodes (catalysts) in the fuel, electrons generated by chemical reactions in the electrodes, moisture retention of the electrolyte membrane, and discharge of produced water, etc. It has multiple functions and is a multifunctional material. Not only need to have gas permeability and conductivity, but also need to meet various requirements such as acid resistance and mechanical strength, generally use carbon fiber paper or carbon fiber woven fabric.
According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in December 2022, the production and sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China was 653 and 607, respectively. In the whole year of 2022, the production and sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles was 3,626 and 3,367, a year-on-year increase of 105.4% and 112.8%, respectively. According to our Fuel Cell Research Center, by the end of 2022, the number of fuel cell vehicles in the world had reached 67,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 36.6%. Among them, the number of fuel cell vehicles in China was 12,682 units. The substrate of a Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) is a critical material used in the construction of the gas diffusion layer within a fuel cell. Typically composed of conductive materials, this substrate exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and gas diffusion properties. It plays a crucial role in fuel cells by connecting the electrodes and facilitating the transfer of reactant gases such as hydrogen and oxygen. Moreover, the substrate of the fuel cell gas diffusion layer needs to possess attributes such as corrosion resistance, stability, and durability to withstand complex working environments and chemical reactions.
