Establishment of Hydrogen Refueling Stations to Propel the Market

Transition to hydrogen as the primary fuel for vehicles necessitates the establishment of a robust and an all-encompassing infrastructure, which includes refueling stations. Governments around the world are committedly framing policies and creating an atmosphere conducive for the development of hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure. For instance, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry of Japan has put in place a decisive plan of action to install 900 operating hydrogen stations across the country by 2030. Similarly, the UK H2Mobility consortium is taking concerted efforts to build a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure by 2030.  The potential of this technology is further augmented by the fact that hydrogen fuel cells get charged at a faster rate than other metal-based batteries, propelling the fuel cell vehicle market growth.

Increasing R&D Investment by Companies to Spur Competition

Bright prospects are foreseen for this market as competitors ramp up their investment in research and development to come out with innovative solutions and products for consumers.
