Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Market Explores New Growth Opportunities By 2025
The
global solid oxide fuel cell market is expected to reach
USD 1.42 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 30%, according to a report by
Grand View Research, Inc. Government funding is largely being replaced by
corporate funding and in turn exhibited to display positive growth potential.
There has been an increase of more than 44% of corporate funding from the
period 2013 until 2016 hence displaying feasible commercialization prospect for
the technology.

The rising
pressure among nations to reduce carbon emissions while strengthening energy security
is another factor favoring the growth of the solid oxide fuel cell market. Due
to its working characteristic, solid oxide fuel cell has an efficiency in the
range of 50-60%. However, there are concerns among solid oxide fuel cell
manufacturers to reduce the production cost to generate significant profit
margin.
The soaring
capital & operational costs and underutilization of various facilities for
the development of solid oxide fuel cell electric vehicle market are likely to
result in high investment risks. High capital costs are directly related to the
compression and storage of hydrogen. Therefore, highly pressurized hydrogen
storage requires costly compressors. This is likely to pose a threat to market
participants.
The Asia
Pacific region is expected to benefit due to favorable governmental regulations
in countries such as Japan and South Korea. Fuel cell powered automobiles and
residential projects receive government subsidies in the region. Big players in
North America such as Walmart, Coca-Cola, Equinix, Apple, CenturyLink,
AT&T, Verizon are actively investing in solid oxide fuel cell technology to
reduce emissions and generate power for company operations.
