Market Synopsis

The Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 30.4% during the forecast period of 2020-2025. As a result, the global market size is projected to reach USD 2213.0 million by 2024, from US$ 586.9 million in 2019.

A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a fuel cell that derives its energy from the oxidation of a ceramic material or solid called an electrolyte. In general, fuel cells are powered by substances that are gases or liquids at room temperatures, such as hydrogen, methane, propane, or gasoline.

SOFCs can provide power to any device that works with batteries, such as commercial appliances such as computers and residential appliances. In addition, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is employed in several areas such as transportation and military operations due to its portable and intelligent design.

 

Market Dynamics

The global solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) market is expected to experience healthy growth due to the growing requirement for zero-emission energy devices and alternative energy sources.

In addition, the strict regulations on carbon emission, such as Carbon Pollution Standards introduced in the United States of America by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are anticipated to further drive the growth of the global solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) market.

The main disadvantage is the high operating temperature, which results in chemical compatibility issues and longer startup times, negatively impacting the global solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) market. Also, solid oxide fuel cells are anticipated to be widely employed for portable power and auxiliary, thus providing a key growth opportunity in the global oxide fuel cells (SOFC) market.

Furthermore, the higher electrical efficiency rate of SOFCs is the primary factor fueling market demand globally. The massive potential of this technology in developing economies looking to reduce energy expenditure can be an enormous opportunity for the market.

 The global solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) market is segmented based on type, application, and end-use. By type, the global solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) market is segmented into tubular, planar, thin-film solid oxide fuel cells, and others.
