Global Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 144 million in 2025 to US$ 220 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2031.

The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a relatively recent addition to the suite of fuel cell technologies; it was invented and developed in the 1990s by researchers at several institutions in the United States, including NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. During decades of research, especially around 2010, many high tech companies like NEC, UltraCell they all have dedicated a large mass of R&D source into DMFC, and they all exhibited their prototype of their own DMFC. But as the fact, there are only two companies focus on commercial productions.
