Product Definition:
Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) are the key component of fuel cells. They are responsible for converting the chemical energy in fuels into electrical energy. MEAs consist of two thin membranes, one of which is coated with catalyst particles that react with the fuel to produce electricity. The other membrane allows protons to pass through, from the anode side to the cathode side.
3-layer MEA:
3-layer MEA is a type of composite material, which consists of an organic polymer core covered with a thin metallic film. The overall structure is similar to that of 2-layered composite except for the presence of 3 layers. This product has been commercialized and used in various applications such as fuel cells, electrochromic devices, solar cells and others.
5-layer MEA:
5-layer MEA is a special kind of composite material, which consists of five different layers. The top layer acts as an adhesion layer to the assembly and holds it together. The second most important function of this layer is to provide mechanical strength to the whole structure. Thirdly, it serves as an electrolyte in which hydrogen and oxygen ions can mix easily due to its high ionic conductivity.
Application Insights:
The electric vehicle application segment dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The increasing demand for electric vehicles as a result of government initiatives such as ¢â‚¬Å“Emission Reduction Fund¢â‚¬ in various countries including U.K., France, Germany and China is expected to drive the demand for membrane electrode assemblies during the forecast period.
Portable power supply was one of the prominent applications that accounted for a significant market share in 2017 owing to growing concerns regarding environmental pollution and energy depletion among other factors such as rising disposable income levels among consumers globally. Increasing R&D activities on part of major players towards commercialization of fuel cell powered portable power supplies is further anticipated to propel industry growth over next eight years.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of fuel cell manufacturers and research organizations. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing government funding for R&D activities related to membrane electrode assembly technology. Europe accounted for more than 25% revenue share in 2017, attributed largely by Germany’s FAST FUEL CE program which provides subsidies and incentives on different types of MEA used in fuel cells.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing with rapid industrialization along with rising demand from portable power supply application segment due mainly because they are lightweight, compact, low-cost and high efficiency devices that do not emit any greenhouse gas while providing electricity.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for fuel cells in transportation sector: The global market for fuel cells is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 15% from 2016 to 2021. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for fuel cells in the transportation sector.
- Growing demand for clean and efficient energy sources: Fuel cells are considered as one of the most promising and clean sources of energy as they produce electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, without any pollutants being emitted into the atmosphere. This is driving the growth of the global market for fuel cells.
- Technological advancements in MEA technology: Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) are essential components of fuel cells, and technological advancements in this technology are helping to boost the growth of this market. For instance, recent advances have been made in MEA design that has helped reduce costs and improve performance characteristics of fuel cell systems.
