Global Stationary Fuel Cell System Market Size, Trends, and Analysis- Forecasts To 2026 By Type (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells [PEMFC], Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells [PAFC], Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells [MCFC], Solid Oxide Fuel Cells [SOFC], Direct Methanol Fuel Cells [DMFC], Others), By Application (Prime Power, Combined Heat And Power (CHP), Uninterrupted Power Supply (Ups), Others), By Stacking (Planar Bipolar Stacking, Stacks With Tubular Cells), By End User (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa); End-User Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis & Competitor Analysis
Fuel cells are used as primary propulsion power or backup source for residential and commercial applications. Stationary fuel cells produce electricity through an electrochemical reaction that is clean, efficient, and reliable. These cells produce less noise and have very low emissions compared to other energy sources. The growing demand for alternative sources of energy, rising awareness about carbon emission, and deploying of cleaner energy technologies are some of the major factors driving the market positively during the forecast period. According to data published by the Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association, the United States installed approximately 550 megawatts (MW) of stationary fuel cells in 2020. The rapid expansion of smart cities and industrialization are supporting market growth.
Based on the type, the market is divided into direct methanol [DMFC], proton exchange membrane [PEMFC], solid oxide [SOFC], and phosphoric acid [PAFC]. The proton exchange membrane fuel segment will occupy a maximum share in the global market owing to its high efficiency, and low operational cost properties. PEMFC type is the widely preferred fuel cell type in many industries such as automobile, transportation, and telecommunication among others.
Based on the end-user, the market is divided into the commercial and industrial segments. The commercial segment will grow at a higher pace in this market owing to environmental benefits and long-range grid transmissions. The growing demand for renewable and clean energy from the commercial sector is boosting the market growth. The majority of the companies are adopting and installing fuel cells as backup power.
Based on the region, the North American region will lead and occupy a major chunk of the market between the forecast period. The expanding manufacturing sector along with the adoption of advanced and alternative power sources are propelling the market growth. The growing production and usage of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles in the region also positively impacting market growth. The increasing power generation from cleaner energy sources in developing nations such as China, Japan, and South Korea among others are driving regional growth.
Key players operating in the market include are Hydrogenics Corporation, Ballard Power Systems Inc, FuelCell Energy, Inc., Sainergy Tech, Inc, Doosan Corporation, Plug Power Inc., SerEnergy A/S, Toshiba, Intelligent Energy Limited, Bloom Energy, Ceres Power Holdings plc, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd, Panasonic, and FC TecNrgy Pvt. Ltd among others.
