Nickel Foam market size, share & industry analysis, By Type (Continuous Band-shaped Nickel Foam, High Intensity and Ultra Intense Binding Force Nickel Foam, Other), By Application (Electrode Material, Fuel Cell, Other) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Nickel is a silver-white colored lustrous, hard and ductile metal found in tiny reserves in earth’s crust. It is obtained in form of ores like limonite, pentlandite, and garnierite. Nickel is a ferromagnetic element with exceptional corrosion resistance, high binding energy and therefore is used in making alloys. Nickel foam is a cellular structure of nickel that has large portion volume occupied with gas filled pores. These are highly used in fuel cells and electrodes attributed to its high porosity, and low density permeability.

The increasing use of alkaline fuel cells attributed to its most developed fuel cell technology, high efficiency and almost 70% of potential reach shall boost the market growth. The inexpensive manufacturing, superior performance over acidic cells, and continuous development in the technologies is raising the demand for alkaline fuel cells further boosting the demand for foam nickel. Additionally, the use of gas diffusion electrodes made from nickel foam in batteries shall foster the market growth.

However, continuous development is observed in the materials and technology used in the energy industry. The introduction of newer technologies in the market shall hamper the market growth.
