Global Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) And Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) Market To Reach Nearly $1.2 Billion By 2017

An environmentally friendly alternative to dependency on hydrocarbon-based fuels, proton exchange membrane fuel cells have become an increasingly attractive power source for transportation, stationary distributive power, and portable electronic products. They are also providing a cost-effective alternative to lithium ion/polymer-based batteries. Technological advances, rising demand for premium portable power, and increasing regulation will drive significant growth in this market over the next five years.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for PEMFCs and membrane electrode assemblies through its report Materials for Proton Exchange Membranes and Membrane Electrode Assemblies for PEM Fuel Cells. According to the report, this market was valued at $444 million in 2012. BCC Research projects the market to grow to $1.2 billion by 2017, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate of 22.1% from 2012 to 2017.
