簡介目錄

全球航太和國防領域的燃料電池市場預計將從 2025 年的 23.4 億美元成長到 2031 年的 57.7 億美元，複合年成長率為 16.23%。

這些電化學裝置能夠有效率地將氫的化學能轉化為電能，目前正被用作無人機、輔助動力裝置和推進系統的動力來源。推動這一市場成長的因素包括：為實現國際淨零排放目標而迫切需要低排放技術，以及軍方對比傳統電池更安靜、更持久的軍用電源解決方案的需求。國際航空運輸協會（IATA）在其淨零排放技術情境預測中指出，到2050年，氫動力飛機可能佔全球商用飛機機隊的18%。

儘管存在這些有利因素，但由於氫能基礎設施尚不成熟，市場仍面臨許多挑戰。國防設施和機場缺乏用於氫氣生產、儲存和加註的全球一體化網路，造成了物流瓶頸。這項缺陷可能會顯著減緩燃料電池技術在整個產業的擴充性和營運整合，進而阻礙該產業支持其廣泛應用的能力。

市場促進因素

嚴格的環境法規和強制性脫碳是推動燃料電池在航太領域應用的主要動力。隨著航空航太業致力於實現國際淨零排放目標，製造商正轉向氫動力推進系統以實現飛行脫碳，而這需要電池電力系統無法達到的能量密度。公共投資進一步推動了這項轉型。例如，英國政府在2024年撥款1.03億英鎊用於綠色航太計劃，其中包括零排放氫動力飛行技術。此類支援對於按計畫推進研發至關重要，因為空中巴士在2024年2月的新加坡航展上重申了其在2035年前推出全球首架氫動力商用飛機的目標。

第二個關鍵促進因素是對遠程無人駕駛航空器系統（UAS）日益成長的需求，尤其是在國防領域。軍方需要低熱訊號和靜音運作的動力來源，以維持長時間的監視任務，避免因頻繁充電鋰離子電池而造成的停機時間。燃料電池具有高能量密度，能夠顯著延長戰術行動中的飛行時間。 2024年6月，智慧能源公司（Intelligent Energy）報告稱，其採用氫燃料電池的「格里芬」（Griffon）無人機實現了三小時的飛行時間，凸顯了燃料電池的這一優勢。這項性能遠超標準電池供電系統，並正在推動燃料電池快速整合到下一代國防飛機機隊。

市場挑戰

氫能基礎設施的不完善嚴重阻礙了燃料電池市場在航太和國防領域的擴張。與擁有成熟全球分銷網路的傳統航空燃料不同，氫氣的生產、液化和高壓加註需要專門的設施，而這些設施目前供應短缺。基礎設施的匱乏限制了氫動力飛機的運作柔軟性，使其只能執行特定的示範航線和短程航線，而無法滿足國防物流和商業運輸所需的全球機動性需求。

這種物流缺口為考慮採用燃料電池技術的相關人員帶來了相當大的財務不確定性。根據氫能委員會2024年的數據，已發表的可再生氫氣生產計劃僅有約7%進入最終投資決策（FID）階段，顯示實際基礎建設遠落後於市場預期。這種緩慢的基礎設施進度迫使製造商和營運商推遲燃料電池系統的部署，因為他們無法依靠穩定的燃料供應網路來支援日常和廣泛的運作。

市場趨勢

液氫儲存技術的發展正成為克服氣態燃料儲存體積限制、實現遠距航空的關鍵趨勢。製造商正致力於研發低溫系統，以顯著提高燃料能量密度，這動力來源大型商用飛機的動力系統至關重要。空中巴士在2025年3月高峰會的新聞稿中發布了其下一代概念飛機，凸顯了這項技術變革。該飛機採用雙液氫儲槽為四台2兆瓦燃料電池引擎供能的設計，直接解決了零排放飛行面臨的挑戰。

同時，隨著國防機構尋求輕量化、高能量密度的電源，攜帶式和穿戴式燃料電池在士兵現代化專案中的應用正在加速推進。這些系統取代了笨重的電池組，為先進的戰術裝備提供支持，並延長了部隊在偏遠環境下的作戰自主性。採購數據也反映了這項技術的快速市場滲透。 SFC Energy在2025年2月發布的報告顯示，其在國防和公共安全領域的銷售額年增約60%。這主要歸功於步兵對燃料電池作為動力來源的依賴性日益增強。

The Global Fuel Cells in Aerospace and Defense Market is projected to expand from USD 2.34 Billion in 2025 to USD 5.77 Billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 16.23%. These electrochemical devices, which efficiently convert chemical energy from hydrogen into electricity, are utilized to power unmanned aerial vehicles, auxiliary power units, and propulsion systems. The market is driven by the urgent requirement for low-emission technologies to achieve international net-zero goals and the military necessity for silent, long-endurance power solutions that outperform conventional batteries. According to the International Air Transport Association, hydrogen-powered aircraft could potentially account for 18% of the global commercial fleet by 2050 under their net-zero technology scenarios.

CAGR 2026-2031	16.23%
Fastest Growing Segment	Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Largest Market	North America

Despite these favorable drivers, the market encounters a major obstacle due to the immaturity of hydrogen infrastructure. The lack of a cohesive global network for the production, storage, and refueling of hydrogen at defense installations and airports creates a logistical bottleneck. This deficiency threatens to significantly delay the scalability and operational integration of fuel cell technologies throughout the sector, hindering the industry's ability to support widespread adoption.

Market Driver

The enforcement of strict environmental regulations and decarbonization mandates acts as the primary catalyst for the adoption of fuel cells in the aerospace sector. As the industry strives to meet international net-zero targets, manufacturers are shifting toward hydrogen propulsion to decarbonize flights that require energy densities beyond the reach of battery-electric systems. This transition is bolstered by significant public investment; for example, the UK Government awarded £103 million in 2024 for green aerospace projects, including zero-emission hydrogen flight technologies. Such support is essential for adherence to development timelines, as evidenced by Airbus reaffirming its goal at the February 2024 Singapore Airshow to introduce the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035.

A second critical driver is the rising demand for long-endurance Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), particularly within the defense landscape. Military operators require power sources with low thermal signatures and silent operation to sustain extended surveillance missions without the frequent downtime associated with recharging lithium-ion batteries. Fuel cells offer the high energy density necessary to drastically extend flight durations for tactical operations. This capability was highlighted in June 2024 by Intelligent Energy, which reported that its hydrogen fuel cell-powered 'Gryphon' drone achieved a flight endurance of 3 hours, significantly outperforming standard battery-operated systems and driving rapid integration into next-generation defense fleets.

Market Challenge

The underdeveloped state of hydrogen infrastructure represents a significant barrier to the expansion of the fuel cell market within the aerospace and defense sectors. Unlike conventional aviation fuel, which benefits from a fully established global distribution network, hydrogen demands specialized facilities for production, liquefaction, and high-pressure refueling that are currently scarce. This lack of infrastructure restricts the operational flexibility of hydrogen-powered aircraft, effectively limiting them to specific demonstration routes or short-range loops rather than facilitating the global mobility essential for defense logistics and commercial transport.

This logistical gap generates considerable financial uncertainty for stakeholders evaluating the adoption of fuel cell technology. According to data from the Hydrogen Council in 2024, only about 7% of announced renewable hydrogen capacity projects had progressed to the Final Investment Decision stage, suggesting that actual infrastructure deployment is lagging significantly behind market announcements. This slow pace of physical capital development compels manufacturers and operators to postpone the integration of fuel cell systems, as they cannot depend on a consistent fuel supply chain to support routine, widespread operations.

Market Trends

The development of liquid hydrogen storage technologies is becoming a pivotal trend to enable long-range aviation by overcoming the volumetric limitations of gaseous storage. Manufacturers are focusing on cryogenic systems that substantially increase fuel energy density, which is vital for powering larger commercial aircraft architectures. This technological shift was emphasized when Airbus, in a press release regarding its March 2025 Summit, unveiled a next-generation concept aircraft featuring two liquid hydrogen tanks supplying four 2-megawatt fuel cell engines, directly addressing the constraints of zero-emission flight.

Concurrently, the deployment of portable and wearable fuel cells for soldier modernization programs is gaining momentum as defense agencies seek lightweight, energy-dense power sources. These systems are replacing heavy battery packs to support advanced tactical equipment and provide extended operational autonomy in remote environments. The rapid market uptake of this technology is reflected in procurement data; SFC Energy reported in February 2025 that its defense and public security segment achieved a sales increase of approximately 60% compared to the previous year, driven by the increasing reliance on fuel cells for dismounted soldier power.
