Based on application, the transport segment is anticipated to reach USD 2.1 billion by 2032. Europe is rapidly expanding its network of hydrogen refueling stations to support the growing number of FCEVs. Growing deployment of hydrogen fuel cell buses in European cities to reduce emissions will augment the industry landscape. For instance, London, Paris, and Hamburg have integrated PEM fuel cell buses into their public transport fleets. Moreover, European automakers comprising Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), BMW, and Renault are investing in fuel cell technology for passenger cars, buses, and trucks, which will strengthen the market landscape.
Based on product, the PEMFC segment is likely to attain gains at nearly 9% up to 2032. Individual countries, such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands, have launched their own hydrogen strategies and funding programs to support PEM fuel cell adoption. PEM fuel cells are being integrated with renewable energy sources like wind and solar to provide clean, reliable power. Projects including the European REFHYNE initiative showcase the potential of PEM fuel cells in supporting the renewable energy systems. Key factors including quick refueling times and longer operational hours, enhanced reliability and low emissions will boost the industry statistics.
Germany fuel cell market is poised to hit USD 800 million by 2032 driven by robust government support, a strong industrial base, and a commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Various funding programs, such as the National Innovation Program Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP), provide financial support for R&D, demonstration projects, and market activation of hydrogen technologies. Growing adoption of hydrogen fuel cell buses in public transportation, wherein several cities, including Hamburg and Cologne, are integrating fuel cell buses into their fleets to reduce emissions, which will stimulate the industry statistics.
