Rising adoption of fuel cell systems in commercial vehicles will lead to the market growth.
The Hydrogen recirculation pumps are widely used in fuel cells to recirculate hydrogen. Most of the hydrogen recirculation pumps are made up of materials and coatings that resist the corrosive effects of 100% humidified H2. These pumps have wide internal sealing areas between the housing and lobes. An exceptional coating on the lobes can handle the tight clearances between the housing and rotors, making them efficient. Moreover, to confirm a high performance of the fuel cell stack, more hydrogen is supplied to the stack than is required for the reaction, which make them suitable for various end-users.
The key driver which is helping the market to grow further is the increasing number of the passenger vehicle, especially in the North America countries owing to high per capita income. Moreover, increasing demand for special utility vehicles (SUVs) in recent times owing to the growing leisure and tour activities globally is accredited to the market growth. The number of passenger vehicles is also increasing rapidly in the United States, and in the month of January 2022, around 200,286 passenger vehicles. Also, there are more than 30 automotive brands in the country responsible for the growth of automotive industry in the United States. Thus, robust presence of the automotive sector in the North America region is likely to help the market to grow at a rapid pace.
Rising adoption of fuel cell systems in commercial vehicles is creating a great platform for the hydrogen recirculation pump market to grow further at a significant pace. As the environmental concerns are growing, various environmental agencies and governments are enacting stringent emission laws and norms, which are anticipated to increase the manufacturing cost of fuel-efficient diesel engines in the coming years. Therefore, the new commercial vehicle diesel engines are likely to create demand for the hydrogen recirculation pumps.
The higher cost of fuel cell based vehicle is leading the major restraining factor in the market. The fuel cell is made using a bipolar plate, membrane, gas diffusion layers, stacks, and a catalyst. Hydrogen atoms are oxidized into electrons and protons in a fuel cell. A catalyst is used for the chemical process. Generally, platinum is used as a catalyst in PEM fuel cells that are mostly used for automotive applications. Platinum is one of the expensive metals, making fuel cell expensive and creating a major barrier for the hydrogen recirculation pump market to grow further.
Hydrogen recirculation pump market is growing at a rapid pace, still the key reason which hampers the growth of market is explosive nature of hydrogen as fuel. The lower and upper flammability limits for hydrogen in air are between 4% and 75%. It is odourless and tasteless, so a tiny leak can easily reach dangerous levels, which hampers the market growth of hydrogen recirculation pump market.
