Market Insights:

SOFCs are a type of fuel cell that converts electrochemical fuel to electricity while emitting little pollution. With the growing popularity of SOFC technology, numerous end-use industries have been keen on adopting and deploying effective SOFC-based power generators. In addition, factors such as higher efficiency and a lower population have propelled various government agencies and bodies to invest further in technology. As a result, investments are being made toward continuing the production of SOFCs and increasing their adoption in numerous applications.

The most significant factor fueling the overall SOFC market’s growth is the superior advantages of these cells over other types. SOFCs provide higher efficiency of over 60% in generating electricity, which is considerably high when compared to other fuel cells. In addition, the SOFCs operate at very high temperatures, ranging between 800 °C and 1,000 °C. Thereby, by harnessing the heat produced in the SOFC to generate electricity, the efficiency of the SOFCs can be enhanced to almost 80%. The high operating temperatures of SOFCs can be useful for the cogeneration of electricity in various industrial applications.

However, one of the major barriers to SOFC adoption is their ability to operate at extremely high temperatures. The SOFCs operate at a very high temperature compared to other fuel cells currently available. Thereby, the SOFC system takes time to reach its optimum operating temperature and function effectively. Hence, SOFCs have found limited penetration in various mobile applications.

Based on the type of fabrication, the global solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) market is segmented into the following types:

Planar
Tubular

As of 2015, the overall SOFC market worldwide was led by the planar SOFC type segment. The segment contributed to more than 70% of the overall market globally. Planar SOFC is primarily used for power generation applications. Planar SOFCs provide a higher power density and potentially a lower cost than tubular cells. With continued advancement in the planar SOFC, the segment is projected to find widespread applications across stationary power generation, military, and transportation applications. The tubular SOFC segment is hindered due to its high electrical resistance, low power density, and higher manufacturing complexity. Subsequently, tubular SOFC is primarily used for stationary applications with low power requirements. The segment is expected to grow steadily in the coming years.

Based on geography, the global solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) market is segmented into the following regions and countries:

North America
- U.S.
- Canada
Europe

As of 2015, the global SOFC market was dominated, in terms of revenue and volume, by the Asia Pacific region. The region contributes a market share of more than fifty percent of the total revenue generated worldwide. The market is largely governed by countries such as Japan and South Korea. Across the overall Asia-Pacific region, South Korea accounts for the second-largest share of the SOFC market after Japan. South Korea aims to generate nearly 11% of its energy from renewable energy sources by 2035. The nation has placed emphasis on fuel cells, especially SOFC, owing to their higher energy efficiency. Additionally, Seoul, the national capital of South Korea, aims to achieve 50% electricity generation from renewable sources using fuel cells by 2030. This has been the most significant factor fueling the SOFC market in the country.
