Market Overview:
The global automotive fuel cell separator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, coupled with the rising focus on reducing emissions. In terms of type, the PEM membrane segment is expected to lead the global automotive fuel cell separator market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high efficiency and low cost as compared to other types of membranes. In terms of application, passenger cars are expected to lead the global automotive fuel cell separator market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
An automotive fuel cell separator is a device that separates the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a fuel cell. This is important because it allows the cells to function properly and produce energy. Without a separator, the cells would not be able to produce energy efficiently.
PEM Membrane:
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) membrane is a thin, flexible sheet of material that acts as an electrolytic separator between the anode and cathode in fuel cells. It was developed by Dow Chemical Company for use in their alkaline fuel cells. The technology has been commercialized by various companies including Air Products & Chemicals Inc., DuPont de Nemours and Celanese Corporation under the trade name Aquamantyl.
Synthetic Fabric Membrane:
A synthetic fabric membrane is a highly porous and permeable material that is made from polymer fibers. The fibers are usually coated with a thin film of catalyst to enable the reaction between the oxygen and hydrogen. These materials have high surface area, which helps in increasing the rate of chemical reactions, especially when compared to other conventional materials such as ceramic or glass wool.
Application Insights:
Passenger cars application segment led the market and accounted for more than 60% of the global revenue share in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for fuel cell vehicles as an alternative solution to conventional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles.
The commercial vehicle application segment is projected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period, attributed to rising deployment of hydrogen fueling stations across developed economies such as North America and Europe. In addition, governments are taking initiatives towards installation of H2O2 fueling stations across highways that would enable faster refueling with fewer stops compared to existing filling stations. Increasing demand from industrial applications including forklifts is also estimated to boost product penetration in near future.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest market share in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of fuel cell vehicle manufacturers and key players. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period, with California being at the forefront. Europe is also expected to witness considerable growth due to favorable government regulations and increasing R&D activities in this region. Asia Pacific FCE separator market is anticipated to grow at a lucrative CAGR during the forecast period, which can be attributed primarilyto Japan’s aggressive promotion of FCVs as an alternative fuel for petroleum-based fuels and growing investments by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). China has also announced plans on using hydrogen energy as an energy carrier for future vehicles production under its 13th Five Year Plan (2016 - 2020) initiative.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for fuel cell vehicles: The global market for fuel cell vehicles is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 28% from 2016 to 2020. This is due to the increasing demand for environment-friendly and low-emission vehicles.
- Government initiatives and subsidies: Governments across the globe are providing incentives and subsidies for the development of fuel cells, which is aiding in the growth of the automotive fuel cell separator market. For instance, in March 2016, Germany announced a subsidy program worth €100 million (US3 million) for research and development of hydrogen infrastructure over the next five years.
- Rising awareness about benefits of fuel cells: There has been a rise in awareness about the benefits offered by fuel cells such as low emissions, high efficiency, and quick refueling time among consumers worldwide, which is propelling their adoption across different applications including automotive sector..
- Technological advancements: Automotive OEMs are focusing on developing new technologies that can improve performance and reduce costs associated with automotive fuel cell separators systems.. For instance, Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan) has developed an advanced membrane electrode assembly (MEA) that can reduce platinum usage by 50%. This will help reduce system costs by around US per kilowatt hour.. 5 Emerging economies offer huge potential: The emerging economies such as China and India offer huge potential for growth owing to rising disposable incomes coupled with increasing environmental concerns among consumers
