"The high support from the federal government for the development and installation of fuel cells will facilitate the fuel cell market growth in the Americas over the forecast period."
The growing incentives to increase adoption of FCVs is notably driving the hydrogen fuel cell stacks market growth, although factors such as high cost of fuel cell development and adoption may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hydrogen fuel cell stacks industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hydrogen Fuel Cell Stacks Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global hydrogen fuel cell stacks market growth is the growing incentives to increase the adoption of FCVs. According to the IEA, the transport sector accounted for 26% of the direct CO2 emissions in 2020 due to the combustion of fossil fuels. Road vehicles such as buses, cars, trucks, and two-wheelers accounted for around three-quarters of global CO2 emissions that are attributable to the transport sector as a whole. Therefore, environmentally sustainable technologies such as fuel cells are finding high adoption in the transport sector. To promote the use of FCVs, governments across the world are offering several incentives. For instance, in Belgium, Financial incentives apply to the purchases of EVs (electric vehicles) or FCVs made by the companies located in the Brussels?Capital Region. In Denmark, FCVs are exempted from paying the registration tax until the end of 2022. Such factors will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Hydrogen Fuel Cell Stacks Market Trend
Rising strategic partnerships and R&D activities is one of the key hydrogen fuel cell stacks market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The collaborations and partnerships are aimed at developing technology, improving efficiency, and reducing the cost to boost the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cell stacks. OEMs such as General Motors Co. and Honda Motor have been accelerating their transit toward alternative propulsion technologies. The two companies have made equal investments totaling USD 85 million in the joint venture and have planned to begin mass production of fuel cell systems by 2020. In addition, owing to the high contribution of catalyst costs in the overall cost structure of fuel cells, the stakeholders of the hydrogen infrastructure are focusing on finding an alternative to platinum. Such partnerships are expected to further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key Hydrogen Fuel Cell Stacks Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global hydrogen fuel cell stacks market growth is the high cost of fuel cell development and adoption. The price of fuel cells has been declining owing to factors such as rapid growth in natural gas production in countries such as the US. However, fuel cells are expensive when compared with alternative technologies. Thus, the use of fuel cells costs much higher than that of its substitutes. For instance, the use of hydrogen as a fuel in the transport sector costs more than 100% when compared with the use of alternative fuels such as gasoline. Although subsidies reduce the initial costs and improve the initial adoption of fuel cells, they phase out gradually over a period, thereby creating the need for significant investments for sustaining the overall cost and ensuring margins. Thus, the high cost of fuel cells hinders the growth of the global hydrogen fuel cell stacks market in the forecast period.
This hydrogen fuel cell stacks market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a high impact on the US and Brazil, has led to the shutdown of several industries across the country. This reduced the manufacturing and transportation of many industries, including heavy-duty FCVs and fuel cell-powered material handling equipment in this region in the first half of 2020, which negatively impacted the market in the region. However, in 2021, the number of new infections was reduced due to the increased vaccination rates 2021. This will help the regional hydrogen fuel cell stacks market to grow during the forecast period.
