Hydrogen vehicles use hydrogen
fuel cells instead of conventional fuel. This fuel cell converts chemical
energy into electrical energy. Increasing environmental concerns of government
bodies to reduce the emissions of harmful gases and increasing adoption of
technological advancements are likely to foster growth of the hydrogen vehicle
market during the forecast period.

Lack of conventional fuel
sources along with concerns regarding growing carbon footprint is
fuelling growth of the global hydrogen vehicle market
Factors driving growth of the
global market include increasing CO2 emissions in conjunction with stringent
regulations being formulated to control emission of such harmful gases.
Hydrogen vehicles are responsible for controlling the CO2 emission, as hydrogen
combines with oxygen in the fuel cell to produce water, which is a clean
by-product. . Hydrogen vehicles are eco-friendly, thus the demand for these
vehicles is increasing, in turn, boosting growth of the hydrogen vehicles
market.
Furthermore, stringent government
regulations towards controlling the carbon emissions from vehicles is another
factor expected to increase the demand for hydrogen vehicles during the
forecasted period. Regulations such as Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) III, Tier 3,
and Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) regulations are being implemented
in order to ensure least carbon emissions. Adoption of hydrogen vehicles is
increasing, as these vehicles offer enhanced power and fuel-efficiency. Thus,
fuelling growth of the market.
Reduction in prices of the
hydrogen cell is expected to drive market growth in the near future
Reducing fuel cell prices is a
key factor driving growth of the hydrogen vehicles market. In the present
market scenario, fuel cell manufacturing companies are investing in new technologies
to help reduce the overall cost of hydrogen fuel cells. For instance, in
September 2017, Nisshinbo Holdings Inc., introduced the carbon alloy catalyst
for the replacement of platinum catalyst, as cost of platinum is higher than
carbon alloys. This in turn, helps reduce the overall price of the hydrogen
fuel cell. For instance, According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a single
fuel-cell vehicle requires US$ 3,650 for catalyst materials, which accounts for
40-45% of the cost of the cell's internal components. Platinum is sold for US$
36.35 (4,000 yen) per gram. Therefore, manufacturers are developing new
catalysts for hydrogen vehicles which in turn, is fuelling growth of the market
High initial investment for
developing infrastructure is one of the key challenges for growth of the market
The cost required for developing
the infrastructure for manufacturing the hydrogen vehicles is significantly
high. Initial investment by manufactures is thus high, which in turn, poses as
a major factoring hampering growth of the hydrogen vehicles market.
Global Hydrogen Vehicle
Market: Regional Insights
The market for Asia Pacific
accounted for the largest share in the 2016 and this region is expected to
retain its dominance during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of
hydrogen fuel cell in emerging economies such as India and China is driving
growth of the market. Owing to rise in industrialization and commercialization
and growing working class population in these economies, is increasing the
overall disposable income of individuals. As per International Monetary Fund
(IMF) GDP growth trend, the economic activities in advanced and emerging
economies increased by 3.1% in 2017 from 2016. This in turn, is expected to
increase the purchasing power of consumers, thus propelling growth of the
hydrogen vehicles market.
