The global Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Market size is expected to reach USD 13.85 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 18.1% from 2023 to 2030. The rising pressure across the globe to reduce carbon emissions through supporting energy safety is a factor supporting the growth of the PEMFC market. Government funding is being exchanged by business funding and which in turn displayed positive growth throughout the projected period. PEMFC is expected to emerge as the most dominant form of fuel cell owing to its ability to suit both transportation and stationary applications. It is a popular choice for transportation applications due to its unique characteristics that make it a suitable alternative to conventional power sources. Unlike other fuel cell technologies, PEMFCs can start quickly. This feature is crucial for applications in the transportation sector where quick startups are essential.

The market is likely to witness strategic alliances to expand end-user segments in emerging markets. Public-private partnerships are expected to be critical for attaining an economically viable technological shift. The introduction of sustainable technologies to replace the existing power generation technologies is anticipated to lead to high costs, which is projected to challenge the innovations carried out by key market players like Intelligent Energy Limited, Plug Power Inc., ITM Power PLC, Ballard Power Systems, PowerCell Sweden AB, Cummins Inc.
