Key Opportunity Analysis: 

•   Growing Hydrogen Economy  

The global transition to green hydrogen and clean energy solutions is one of the key drivers for the growth of the hydrocarbon membrane market. Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a clean fuel alternative, with applications ranging from fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to energy storage and industrial hydrogen production. For instance, the European Union adopted two delegated acts in February 2023 with rules to define renewable hydrogen and approved funding for the first two waves of hydrogen-related Important Projects of Common European Interest in 2022. Governments worldwide are developing and investing in hydrogen infrastructure. Initiatives like the EU Hydrogen Strategy, Japan's Hydrogen Roadmap, and U.S. clean hydrogen initiatives are designed to promote hydrogen as a central pillar of clean energy.  For instance, in March 2023, the United States Department of Energy announced a $750 million R&D program for advanced clean hydrogen technologies. As hydrogen technologies grow, demand for high-performance, cost-effective hydrocarbon membranes will increase, offering significant market opportunities in both fuel cells and electrolyzers.

•    Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) Market Expansion 

The growing adoption of FCEVs requires large-scale production of high-performance hydrocarbon membranes that can offer better proton conductivity and durability at a lower cost compared to conventional membrane materials. Governments around the world are supporting the adoption of FCEVs through subsidies, tax incentives, and investment in hydrogen refueling infrastructure. This growth in hydrogen infrastructure directly boosts the demand for hydrogen fuel cells and the membranes used in these systems. 

Growth has been enormous as a result of government and local OEM collaborations, especially in Germany. Additionally, France has improved hydrogen fueling stations in partnership with domestic OEMs, which has increased sales of FCEVs. By 2025, Holland Hydrogen L will be the biggest renewable hydrogen plant in Europe, owing to Shell's approval of its construction. As the FCEV market expands, there is increasing demand for affordable, high-performance hydrocarbon membranes that can meet the rigorous requirements of automotive fuel cells, offering both high proton conductivity and cost-efficiency.

•    Increasing Funding for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies is Fostering Market Expansion.

Increased funding for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies is driving innovation in hydrocarbon membranes by supporting extensive R&D initiatives. These efforts focus on developing membranes with enhanced durability, conductivity, and thermal stability, ensuring they can withstand the demanding conditions in fuel cells and electrolysers. In September 2021, Toray Industries, Inc., and Siemens Energy K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Siemens Energy AG, have been selected for the Green Hydrogen Project under Japan's Green Innovation Funding Program. This initiative is organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in collaboration with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). As part of this collaboration, Toray will supply Siemens Energy with its proprietary hydrocarbon electrolyte membranes for use in the development and demonstration of Japan's largest multi-megawatt class PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) water Electrolyser. This initiative highlights the pivotal role of hydrocarbon membranes in the fuel cell and electrolyser markets, as they provide a cost-effective and high-performance solution for green hydrogen projects.

Covid and Ukrainian Crisis Impact:

•    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in global supply chains which has impacted the availability and cost of raw materials as well as the transportation of finished products. This has resulted in increased lead times, reduced production, and higher costs. Additionally, the pandemic has caused delays in investment in new capacity and infrastructure which could impact the long-term supply and demand dynamics in the Market.

•    The Ukraine and Russia conflict led to an increase in prices and a reduction in production which further led to a shortage of hydrocarbon membranes in fuel cell and electrolyser. Many companies have shut business in Russia; temporarily shutting down their plants in Ukraine. Additionally, the crisis in Ukraine has also led to a reduction in investments in the hydrocarbon membranes in fuel cell and electrolyser market as companies are hesitant to invest in a region that is facing political and economic instability. This could impact the long-term supply and demand dynamics of the Market.
