Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are fuel cells capable of generating power through electrochemical conversions. Zirconium and calcium are used to enhance its electrical efficiency. The global solid oxide fuel cell market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) covers trends on its applications and the scope on investments during the period of 2017 to 2023 (forecast period). The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the production and value chain are explored in detail.
Market Scope
The global solid oxide fuel cell market is anticipated to touch USD 1,183.6 million by 2023, as per an insightful report by Market Research Future (MRFR). It is expected to expand at a 12.87% CAGR during the assessment period.
The market is set to accumulate huge revenues over the forecast period owing to pressure from nations globally for reducing carbon emission levels. Government funding and collaborations between private and public companies can drive the technology of SOFCs. Favorable policies coupled with implementation of fuel cell systems can augment the market size considerably. Awareness of alternative energy sources and establishment of micro combined heat and power applications can bode well for the market.
The high-cost for processing of SOFCs can limit the market growth.
Segmentation
- By type, the solid oxide fuel cell market has been segmented into tubular and planar. The planar segment can be expected to showcase a strong growth rate owing to high energy efficiency and low power losses accrued by its usage. Its future applications in auxiliary power units, underwater vehicles, and portable devices can boost segment growth during the forecast period.
- By mobility, the market is segmented into stationary and portable. The stationary segment can lead in the global solid oxide fuel cells market due to its demand in uninterrupted power supply (UPS), residential CHP, and large CHP. They are used a power source in various commercial applications.
- By application, the market is segmented into combined heat & power, power generation, and military. The power generation segment is likely to dominate over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for power in energy-producing plants for cooling purposes.
Major market end-users include commercial & residential, data center, retail, and auxiliary power units. The data center segment is likely to contribute to the global SOFC market owing to corporate giants shifting their proprietary data to the cloud for curbing operational expenditures. The use of SOFCs for cooling data centers and curbing emissions can bode well for the market. On the other hand, commercial & residential users can display the fastest growth rate in the market.
