Market Overview:
The global bipolar plates market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for fuel cells across the globe. In terms of type, the global bipolar plates market is segmented into graphite, metal, and composite bipolar plates. Of these, graphite bipolar plates are expected to account for a major share of the global bipolar plates market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their high thermal conductivity and low weight as compared to other types of bipolar plates. In terms of application, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are expected to account for a major share of the global bipolar plates market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Bipolar plates are electrodes used in fuel cells. They are usually made of carbon-fiber composites and have a very low electrical resistance. Bipolar plates help to distribute the reactants evenly across the cell, increase the power density, and improve the performance and life of the fuel cell.
Graphite:
graphite is black carbon, obtained as a by-product of the coal industry. It has high electrical and thermal conductivity on account of which it is used in electrodes in batteries and electric heaters. The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries owing to their ability to provide higher energy densities with less weight, volume and cost has led to an increase in the consumption of graphite.
Metal:
Metal is an important component in the bipolar plates market. It plays a vital role in providing structural support to the electrodes and also provides electrical conductivity to them. The metal used for manufacturing bipolar plates should have certain properties such as ductility, malleability, corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity and low electrical resistivity along with strength. These properties make it suitable for use in medical devices or equipment where they are subjected to mechanical stress or pressure over a long period of time.
Application Insights:
The proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) segment dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The PEMFC is a highly efficient and compact electrochemical device that combines the advantages of both solid-state and liquid-state electrolytes. It has been observed that PEM fuel cells exhibit higher efficiency when compared to other types of fuel cells across all applications. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, thereby driving demand for Bipolar plates over the next eight years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing strong economic growth and this trend is expected to continue over the next eight years, thereby driving demand for power generation and other industrial applications. Growing population in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Pakistan Japan South Korea Brazil will also drive industry expansion in these regions.
North America bipolar plates market was dominated by U.S., which accounted for more than 80% of total volume share in 2016 owing to high R&D investments along with technological advancements witnessed thereon since last few years. Europe bipolar plate industry also held a significant share due to early adoption of PEM fuel cells across several countries such as Germany Italy Spain UK France Russia etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bipolar plates from the fuel cell industry as a result of the increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using bipolar plates in fuel cells among consumers, which is likely to boost adoption rates in the coming years.
- Rising investments by governments and private players in research and development activities for developing better technologies for bipolar plates used in fuel cells.
- Technological advancements that are taking place in the manufacturing of bipolar plates, which is resulting in higher efficiency and performance levels compared to earlier versions available in the market.
