The global fuel cell electric vehicle market generated $3,059.5 million revenue in 2020. The market is being driven by the enactment of strict carbon emission regulations, such as those regarding fuel efficiency, by various governments and organizations, and the burgeoning requirement for environment-friendly vehicles, on account of the surging concerns being raised over the escalating carbon dioxide emissions all over the world. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is encouraging the adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the country.

Furthermore, the European Union has announced recently that it aims to reduce vehicular emissions by 80% by 2050 from the levels reported in 1990. The organization would achieve this objective by promoting the use of green vehicles. Besides, the mushrooming deployment of electric vehicles in several countries is also driving the growth of the fuel cell electric vehicle market. For example, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the sales of electric cars surpassed 2.1 million across the world in 2019, thereby propelling the global electric car fleet to 7.2 million.
