Market Overview

The Automotive Fuel Cell Market is a part of the clean energy and transport industries that focus on the creation, manufacture, and marketing of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that are powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells produce electricity by an electrochemical process of hydrogen and oxygen, and produce water as the only waste product, therefore they are an environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This market covers fuel cell systems, hydrogen distribution, and vehicles equipped with fuel cells, all for the purpose of decreasing carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels.
