The APAC market addresses diverse energy challenges, enhances energy security, and meets the demand for sustainable power sources, positioning it for significant growth during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

The development of a hydrogen economy is a pivotal factor driving market growth. The transition to a hydrogen economy involves a focus on 'green hydrogen,' produced through electrolysis using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power. Green hydrogen serves as a clean and sustainable fuel for fuel cells, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions from prime power. Fuel cells become integral to a resilient and sustainable energy ecosystem within the hydrogen economy. The power-to-gas concept, utilizing excess renewable energy for hydrogen production, further supports fuel cell integration into hybrid power systems. The development of the hydrogen economy is poised to boost market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Challenges of Market:

The rising adoption of gas generators poses a challenge to market growth. Emission norms introduced in several countries to limit pollutants from devices have led to the emergence of alternative generators like gas generators. These generators, available at lower prices, serve as strong substitutes for diesel generators, impacting the adoption of fuel cells. Dual-fuel generators, offered in the market, perform similarly to diesel fuel, offering higher energy content and emitting fewer pollutants. In countries with high natural gas production, the adoption of gas generators is significantly high, driven by the low upfront cost. The preference for gas generators may hinder the growth of the fuel cell market during the forecast period.
