Furthermore, there is a favorable regulatory environment for fuel cell technology in North America. Governments and regulatory bodies in the region have been supportive of fuel cell development and deployment, providing funding and incentives for companies to invest in this technology. Thus, North America’s strong aerospace and defense industry, robust research and development infrastructure, growing demand for fuel cell-powered unmanned systems, and favorable regulatory environment are driving market growth for fuel cells in this region.
Further, the APAC Fuel Cells in Aerospace and Defense Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 31% during the forecast period (2022-2030). 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.

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.
