Description:

The global PEM Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 560 million in 2025 to US$ 1194 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2025 to 2031.
The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell is a crucial component that facilitates the flow of reactant gases (hydrogen and oxygen) to the catalyst layer, as well as the removal of reaction products and water from the cell. Materials commonly used for GDLs include carbon-based materials like carbon paper, carbon cloth, or carbon fiber paper. These materials possess the necessary porosity, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength required for efficient operation in PEM fuel cells. Designing an optimal GDL involves balancing these properties to ensure high performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness in fuel cell applications. Researchers continually explore new materials and fabrication techniques to enhance GDL performance and advance PEM fuel cell technology.
Global key players of PEM Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer include Toray Industries, Freudenberg, SGL Carbon, etc. The top three players hold a share about 82%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, and has a share about 46%, followed by Europe and North America with share 36% and 18%, separately. In terms of product type, Carbon Paper Type is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 63%. In terms of application, 5-layer MEA is the largest field with a share about 71 percent.
