Product Code: A10660
An unmanned aerial vehicle is one of the advanced systems in the aviation industry, which has gradually gained significant popularity in the military, commercial, and civil applications. Fuel cell unmanned aerial vehicles are the UAVs backed by fuel cell power modules. Moreover, these fuel cell unmanned vehicles possess a higher energy-to-mass ratio than the traditional battery systems. These power modules can provide over three times more flight endurance to the commercial unmanned aerial vehicles. This further allows the maximization of productivity, while minimizing downtime and achieve more in a single drone flight. Recently, hydrogen fuel-cells have emerged as a viable alternative fuel to replace Li-ion batteries in mid to large size drones, and their efficiency in terms of weight/power ratios are increasing rapidly. They offer compelling value for UAVs due to improved reliability over small internal combustion engines, enhancing safe and low maintenance operation.
Government regulations and rules has been imposed by several regulators to control the operations of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) across the globe. Agreements and contracts with law enforcement and military agencies, partnership, product development and product launch activities are the key strategies adopted by the market players. For instance, in December 2021, H3 Dynamics launched its hydrogen drone equipped with H3 Dynamics' AEROSTAK hydrogen fuel cell system, developed by Drone Works and with integration support by Nexty Electronics Co. Ltd., in Japan. The new generation hydrogen drone is equipped with a small composite container for high-pressure hydrogen developed by JFE Container Co. Ltd. & H3 Dynamics.
The factors such as upsurge in military spending, growth in the demand for improved surveillance, and supportive growth through regulatory compliance are expected to drive the growth of the fuel cell unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market. However, increase in security issues & cyber threat and high cost of fuel cells for UAV solutions restrain the growth of the fuel cell UAV market. On the contrary, technological advancements in military applications and increasing public-private partnerships are projected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market players
For the purpose of analysis, the global fuel cell UAV market is segmented on the basis of product type, end-use, type, weight, and application. Based on the product type, the market is segregated into hydrogen fuel cell, solid oxide fuel cell, and proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
