航空航天和國防領域燃料電池市場:現狀分析與預測(2022-2030)Fuel Cells in Aerospace and Defense Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2030) |
由於對非常規能源的需求增加以及軍事和國防領域燃料電池的採用增加,航空航天和國防領域的燃料電池市場預計將快速增長約 31%。 市場上的主要參與者為軍事和國防應用提供具有技術先進功能的燃料電池,以準備更先進的發動機。 例如,2022年11月,空客準備了首台兆瓦級氫燃料電池發動機的飛行測試演示機。
根據產品,市場分為固體氧化物燃料電池(SOFC)和聚合物電解質燃料電池(PEMFC)。 聚合物電解質燃料電池(PEMFC)類別預計在預測期內將以顯著的複合年增長率增長。 這主要是由於 PMEFC 比 SOFC 具有更好的熱管理、更輕的設備平衡、更短的電堆壽命以及有限的集成靈活性。 由於其效率、緊湊性、溫度範圍和使用壽命,質子交換膜燃料電池也廣泛應用於交通運輸應用。
按照應用,航空航天和國防領域的燃料電池市場分為商用飛機和旋翼飛機。 旋翼機類別預計在預測期內將以顯著的複合年增長率增長。 直升機、垂直起降飛機等旋翼機深受航空航天和國防工業的青睞。 此外,燃料電池對於旋翼飛機很重要,因為它們提供安靜且高效的動力源。 這是因為旋翼飛機需要高功率並且可以減少噪音排放。 與其他能源相比,燃料電池還具有更長的耐用性、更少的物流和更低的運營成本。
為了更好地了解燃料電池行業在航空航天和國防領域的市場實施情況,市場有北美(美國、加拿大和其他北美地區)、歐洲(德國、英國、法國、西班牙、意大利、和其他歐洲地區)、亞太地區(中國、印度、日本、亞太地區其他地區)和世界其他國家。 預計北美在預測期內將以顯著的複合年增長率增長。 這主要是由於該地區對燃料電池發電的高需求以及氫生產研發的不斷增加,推動了市場的增長。 此外,北美是世界上一些最大的航空航天和國防公司的所在地,包括波音、洛克希德馬丁和諾斯羅普格魯曼,這些公司近年來在燃料電池技術方面進行了大量投資。 從那時起,這些公司一直處於開發和測試飛機和其他應用燃料電池系統的前沿,並且對該技術的持續投資正在推動市場增長。 例如,2021 年 8 月,霍尼韋爾的輕型無人機新技術通過更清潔、更安靜的氫燃料電池將航程增加了兩倍。 此外,北美是美國軍方的所在地,美國軍方正在積極開發和部署燃料電池驅動的無人機和其他無人系統,推動該地區的市場增長。
A fuel cell is a very effective power source. It is commonly defined as an electrochemical device that converts the supplied fuel to electric energy and heat continuously if reactants are supplied to its electrodes. Fuel cells are one of the fastest growing alternative energy resources due to their ability to convert electricity through a variety of fuels. Additionally, fuel cells are conventional resources which are eco-friendly, as their by-products do not harm nature. Due to such factors, they are highly used in the market of aerospace and defence across the globe. For instance, in Mar 2021, Fuel Cell Technology for Larger Aircraft Could Lower Emissions. The aerospace industry has proven it can utilize fuel cells for small aircraft.
The Fuel Cells in Aerospace and Defense Market is expected to grow at a skyrocket rate of around 31% owing to the rising demand from non-conventional energy sources coupled with the growing adoption of fuel cells in military & defense sectors. Major companies in the market offer fuel cells for military and defense applications with technologically advanced features to prepare more advance engines. For instance, in Nov 2022, Airbus prepared for its first megawatt-class hydrogen fuel-cell engine flight-test demonstrator.
Based on product, the market is bifurcated into Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) category is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly owing to better thermal management, the lighter balance of plant, shorter stack service life, and limited integration flexibility of PMEFC over SOFC. In addition, PEMFC is widely used for transportation applications due to its efficiency, compactness, temperature range, and lifetime.
Based on application, the fuel cells in aerospace and defense market have been bifurcated into civil aviation and rotorcraft. The rotorcraft category is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Rotorcraft such as helicopters, and vertical takeoff and landing aircrafts are highly preferred in the aerospace and defense industry. Additionally, fuel cells provide a quiet and efficient power source and that is major for rotorcraft. Since they require high power output and reduce noise emissions. Also, fuel cells provide longer endurance, reduced logistical support, and lower operating costs compared to other power sources.
For a better understanding of the market adoption of the fuel cells in aerospace and defense industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly attributed to the high demand for fuel cell power generation, as well as increasing research and development for hydrogen generation in the region is driving the growth of the market. Moreover, North America has one of the world's largest aerospace and defense companies, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, all of which have invested heavily in fuel cell technology in recent years. Since, these companies have been at the forefront of developing and testing fuel cell systems for aircraft and other applications, and their continued investment in this technology is driving market growth. For instance, in Aug 2021, New Honeywell Technology for Light Drones Increased Range Threefold with Cleaner, Quieter Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Additionally, North America has US military that are actively developing and deploying fuel cell-powered UAVs and other unmanned systems, which has helped to drive market growth in this region.
Some of the major players operating in the market include: Advent Technologies; ElringKlinger AG; Australian Fuel Cells Pty Ltd; Honeywell International Inc.; Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, Inc.; Loop Energy Inc.; Intelligent Energy Limited; Plug Power Inc.; Cummins Inc; GenCell Ltd.
