Global Fuel Cell Air Compressor Market Growth 2025-2031
The global Fuel Cell Air Compressor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 251 million in 2025 to US$ 378 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2031.
Fuel cell air compressor, also known as fuel cell air compressor, is an important component in hydrogen fuel cell system. Its main function is to provide hydrogen fuel cell with oxygen required for electrochemical reaction by compressing air and delivering it to the cathode of fuel cell stack. This can improve the power density and efficiency of fuel cell while reducing the overall size of the system. Among the core components of fuel cell, if the stack is the "heart" of fuel cell, providing energy; then the fuel cell air compressor is the "lung" of fuel cell, providing the stack with oxygen of appropriate amount and pressure.
