Air pollutants released from internal combustion engines in automobiles is among one of the major air pollutants in the region. Across the world, Delhi (India), Lahore (Pakistan), Chengdu (China), and Mumbai (India) are a few of the major polluted cities with dangerous levels of air pollutants in the air. Government bodies of Asia Pacific have taken numerous steps to increase the adoption of clean energy sources to power vehicles. For instance, the Government of China increased the deployment of electric vehicles in China from 20,000 in 2010 to 5 million in 2020. The initiatives have driven China to become one of the largest markets for electric vehicles. The Chinese government is offering numerous subsidies to buyers on the purchase of personal and commercial fuel cell vehicles. The government is also offering subsidies on the construction of hydrogen fueling stations. Such initiatives to boost the adoption of clean energy sources by various nations across Asia Pacific are expected to drive the growth of the fuel cell vehicles market during the forecast period.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific fuel cell vehicle market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
