The global alkaline fuel cells market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for clean energy solutions and focus toward reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Alkaline fuel cells utilize the chemical energy of oxidants to produce electricity through electrochemical reaction. They generate power through the reaction between an alkaline fuel and oxygen. The major advantage of alkaline fuel cells is that they can use non-precious metal catalysts like nickel or silver instead of platinum, which makes them less expensive to produce compared to other fuel cell technologies. With growing environmental concerns and focus on sustainability, alkaline fuel cells are emerging as a viable clean energy alternative.
The global alkaline fuel cells market is driven by factors like stringent government regulations toward curbing emissions, initiatives to adopt renewable energy sources, and rising investments to develop cost-effective fuel cell technologies. However, high initial costs of alkaline fuel cell deployment and lack of supporting infrastructure are hindering the market growth. Growing applications in the transportation, defense, and commercial sectors are expected to present lucrative opportunities. Field testing and demonstration projects are underway to enhance the commercial viability of these fuel cells. Technology innovations to reduce the use of precious metal catalysts would further boost the alkaline fuel cell adoption.
