世界のアルカリ燃料電池市場は、予測期間中(2023-2030年)に4.7%のCAGRで成長すると予測されています。燃料電池は、燃料に由来する化学エネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換する装置です。化学反応には、連続的な酸化還元反応に酸素やその他の酸化剤を利用することが含まれます。アルカリ燃料電池(AFC)は、電解質としてアルカリ媒体を使用します。AFCはベーコン型燃料電池としても知られ、最も発達した安価な燃料電池技術のひとつです。非従来型のエネルギー源に対する需要の増加は、成長を促進する重要な要因のひとつです。世界の市場企業は、M&A、研究開発活動への資金提供、適切な融資プログラムへの資金提供など、さまざまな形で支援を提供することで開発を補完すると予想されます。例えば、2021年1月、Ricardo plcとAFC Energy plcは、アルカリ燃料電池の製品とサービスの提供のために提携し、当初は船舶、鉄道、定置発電に焦点を当てました。この提携は、輸送、エネルギー、国の重要なインフラを脱炭素化する世界の取り組みを直接支援する製品とサービスを開発するものです。
さらに、アルカリ燃料電池市場は、より低い出力密度で発電できる固体高分子電解質膜(PEM)燃料電池の進歩によって抑制されています。アルカリ燃料電池の電極は二酸化炭素によって汚染され、電池の動作に影響を与えます。そのため、セルで使用する酸素と水素の除染が必要となり、コスト高になります。
エンドユーザーの中では、自動車用サブセグメントが市場のかなりのシェアを占めると予想され、さらに予測期間中にかなりのCAGRで成長すると予測されています。このセグメントの成長は、燃料電池フォークリフトなどの建設用自動車における静止型アルカリ燃料電池の需要増が主な要因です。需要の高まりを受けて、主要市場プレーヤーは、需要の高まりに対応するために、自動車セグメントに特化した燃料電池の開発と導入に注力しています。例えば、2019年12月、英国のAFC Energy社は、アルカリ水素燃料電池技術に基づくH-Power電気自動車(EV)充電器を発売しました。この自己完結型充電システムは、貧弱な送電網に関連する問題を克服し、必要な場所で電気自動車(EV)の急速充電を提供します。
地域別展望
すべての地域の中で、アジア太平洋地域は予測期間中、世界的に顕著なCAGRで成長すると予想されています。この地域の成長を支える主な要因としては、様々な戦略や政策のイントロダクションが増加し、様々な用途でアルカリ燃料電池システムの使用が奨励されていることが挙げられます。アルカリ燃料電池システムは、中国、インド、日本、韓国などの国々で自動車や輸送用途に主に使用されています。日本は、燃料電池を扱うこの地域の主要市場であり、次いで韓国です。日本では熱電併給システムの需要が大きいため、燃料電池市場は堅調な成長率を記録する予定です。
Title:Global Alkaline Fuel Cell Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Electrolyte (Immobilized or Static and Flowing), and by End-User (Spacecrafts and Space Shuttles, Defense and Military, Communication Towers, Automotive, and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030).
The global alkaline fuel cells market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy derived from fuels to electrical energy. The chemical reaction involves utilizing oxygen or any other oxidizing agent for continuous redox reactions. Alkaline fuel cell (AFC) employs an alkaline media as an electrolyte. AFC are also known as Bacon fuel cells, these are one of the most developed and cheaply available fuel cell technologies. Increasing demand for unconventional sources of energy is one of the key factors driving the growth. Market players across the globe are anticipated to supplement the developments by offering support in different forms including mergers & acquisitions, funding R&D activities, and funding suitable financing programs. For instance, in January 2021, Ricardo plc and AFC Energy plc collaborated for manufacturing alkaline fuel cell product and service offerings, with an initial focus on marine, rail and stationary power generation. The collaboration will develop products and services that will directly support global efforts to decarbonize transport, energy, and nationally critical infrastructure.
Moreover, the alkaline fuel cells market is restrained by the advancements in the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells owing to their ability to generate lower power densities. The alkaline fuel cell electrodes are poisoned by carbon dioxide which impacts the cell's operation. This necessitates the decontamination of oxygen and hydrogen utilized in the cell, hence, making it cost-intensive.
The global alkaline fuel cells market is segmented on the basis of electrolyte and end-user. Based on the electrolyte, the market is bifurcated into immobilized or static and flowing. Based on the end-user, the market is sub-segmented into spacecrafts and space shuttles, defense and military, communication towers, automotive, and others including various industrial and residential applications. Among the electrolyte, immobilized or static sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market owing to several factors including high efficiency, flexibility to use different fuels, and utilization of direct current.
Among the end-user, the automotive sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market and is further anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. The segmental growth is majorly attributed to the rising demand for static alkaline fuel cells in construction automotive vehicles such as fuel cell powered forklifts, and others. Owing to the rising demand, key market players are focusing on developing and introducing fuel cell specifically for automotive segment in order to cater to the rising demand. For instance, in December 2019, UK-based AFC Energy launched its H-Power electric vehicle (EV) charger based on alkaline hydrogen fuel cell technology. The self-contained charging system overcomes issues associated with poor grid coverage to provide rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging anywhere it is needed.
Regional Outlook
The global alkaline fuel cells market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, North America to hold a significant share of the global alkaline fuel cells market. The market share is primarily attributed to the existing supportive legislation in the region. These legislations aim to reduce carbon emissions.
