Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027

The global solid oxide fuel cell market reached a value of US$ 953.8 Million in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2,287.7 Million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 15.4% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an energy converter device that produces electricity through electrochemical conversions. It operates using various energy sources, such as biogas, natural gas, propane hydrogen and other oxidized hydrocarbons. SOFCs are commonly available in planar and tubular variants, which are either stationary or portable. They consist of a ceramic membrane that conducts ions and flows currents at high temperatures, along with non-porous and metal oxide electrolytes to convert chemical energy into thermal energy and electricity without combustion. In comparison to the traditionally used energy sources, SOFCs are highly cost-effective and sustainable in nature.

Significant growth in the power and energy industries across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, rising clean energy requirements, especially in the developing economies, are providing a thrust to the market growth. SOFCs are embedded into power systems to generate continuous energy for various commercial and industrial applications. They are also widely used for operating energy-intensive data centers to improve operational performance and facilitate real-time backup of the data. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of noiseless and portable SOFCs for military applications, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These innovative variants are being extensively used for operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), military robots and communications devices. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities in fuel cell programs, along with the implementation of favorable government policies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
