Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Market by Type (Proton Conducting Membrane, Electrodes, Membrane Electrode Assembly), by Application (Consumer Electronics, Transportation), by Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America) – Global Forecast (2020 to 2027)

DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL MARKET: Summary

The Global Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Market is projected to reach a value of over USD 320.6 Million by 2027 at a CAGR of over 8.5%.

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is the electrochemical device or polymer membrane fuel cell that operates through conversion of the methanol derived chemical energy into the electricity. It is an environmental friendly alternative to the conventional methods as it emits very low amount of CO2 and waste heat along with water vapor. DMFC has gained popularity owing to higher efficiency, rapid refueling, and longer operation time owing to higher energy density of methanol. Due to this advantages, DMFC is rapidly adopted in the automotive, marine, consumer electronics and military application.

DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL MARKET: Drivers & CHALLENGES

Market Driver:

• Increasing Demand for Clean Power Source

The DMFC is the promising source of cleaner power generation as it uses method for production of electricity and emits less amount of CO2, a greenhouse gas. Changing global climate and increasing global warming, is driving the demand for the sustainable power generation. Growing global population resulting into higher energy demand, with favorable government support to promote energy generation in cleaner way is further fueling the demand for the DMFC. Ongoing industrialization, growing demand for electrically powered devices and vehicles is generating higher energy demand, which is expected to boost the market growth in the years to follow.

• Growing Demand for Portable Electronic Devices

With ongoing digitization globally, the demand for the electronic devices has been escalated in past few years. Rising usage of smart phones, laptops, tablets and other devices, an outcome of higher internet penetration is driving the growth of this market. Additionally, advantages associated with the portable devices are easy to carry, compact, and emerging advanced technologies is driving the demand for the portable devices, which is further fueling the market growth

Market Restraint:

• High Cost of DMFC

The growth of the DMFC market is expected to hamper owing to high cost of the DMFC. The high cost of the DMFC is mainly due to the expensive materials such as platinum and platinum-based alloys contributing to escalated cost per kilowatt. The cost of the DMFC is further piled up owing to the high cost of the catalyst, membrane, electrode, and bi-polar plates.
