２０１１年には２．５万台が出荷され、初めて１０万ｋＷを超えた。２０１２年度は、台数で３倍増の８万台、ｋＷで６割増の１８万ｋＷを見込んでいる。
The Fuel Cell Today Industry Review 2012 reports annual fuel cell system shipments (excluding toys and education kits) in 2011 were 24,600 – growing by 39% compared to 2010, led by increases in the stationary sector. 2011 was by far the most successful year to date in the history of fuel cells with annual megawatts shipped exceeding 100 MW for the first time as commercialisation of the industry took hold. Growth in shipments was recorded in the majority of applications and we expect all sectors to grow through 2012.
The 2012 Review forecasts annual shipments in 2012 will triple compared to 2011 to reach a total of over 78,000 for the full year led by sales of chargers for consumer electronic devices. Annual megawatts shipped are expected to grow by over 60%, to around 176 MW, mainly due to shipments of large stationary fuel cells. Increases are also expected across all other application categories.
