Other key leading countries:
Germany
The presence of many domestic fuel cell developers, government support, and the need to curb carbon emissions are fueling the demand for fuel cells in Germany. Increased demand to conserve energy has also encouraged many private players to invest in the development of fuel cells, propelling the market. Increased application of fuel cells in the transportation sector, especially in public transport and material handling vehicles, will significantly contribute to the market growth in the country.
Japan
Japan is the major market for fuel cells in APAC. The country has a strong fuel cell supply chain network and various regional alliances for the development of fuel cells. In addition, a reduction in fuel cell prices has increased the participation of domestic manufacturers, which is helping the market grow significantly.
