Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Market Outlook 2031:

The global solid oxide fuel cells market size was valued at USD 1.07 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 12.16 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 31% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to ongoing technological advancements and rising investment in the R&D activities.

A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy into electrical energy by utilizing the natural tendency of oxygen and hydrogen to react with each other. Fuel cells can convert hydrogen-based fuels with higher efficiency as compared to engines and thermal power plants.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Market Outlook

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) uses a ceramic compound of metal, such as calcium or zirconium, and oxides as electrolyte. The efficiency is about 60 percent, and the operating temperature is about 1,000 °C (about 1,800 °F).

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

  • Increasing Internet usage and ongoing research on SOFCs are the major drivers that are contributing to the growth of the market.
  • Rising hyper-scale platforms is expected to augment the solid oxide fuel cells market growth.
  • High initial cost can act as a market restraint for the growth of the market.
  • Emerging new technology can hinder the market growth.
  • The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global solid oxide fuel cells market. This is due to the supply chain disruption, hindering the market growth. However, the relaxation in restrictions is anticipated to help the market recover soon.
  • Rising demand for clean energy over concerns of environmental impact of energy generation from conventional sources, such as coal and natural gas is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the industry players during the forecast period.
