Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Technologies - Overview

Solid oxide fuel cell, also known as SOFC, is an electrochemical process of generating electricity by oxidizing a fuel. These fuel cells exhibit electrical efficiency, which is poised to catalyze its demand over the next couple of years. This analysis by Market Research Future (MRFR) unveils that the global solid oxide fuel cell market is anticipated to mark 12.87% CAGR across the forecast period 2017 to 2023. Also, the estimates reveal that the market is poised to earn revenue worth USD 1183.6 Mn by the end of the assessment period.

SOFCs can be used efficiently in industries that operate in low temperatures. This advantage of the process is poised to drive the growth of the solid oxide fuel cell market in the upcoming years. Rising investments in the industrial sector are expected to increase the pace of growth of the solid oxide fuel cell market over the prognosis period. Furthermore, the governments in the developing economies are promoting the use of SOFCs to cut down the energy costs without compromising on the electrical efficiency. This is expected to lead the proliferation of the solid oxide fuel cell market in the nearby future.

The industrial sector requires huge amount of power to carry on its operations. It is projected to have a favorable influence on the expansion of the solid oxide fuel cell market in the foreseeable future. It is poised to motivate the growth of the market over the next couple of years. In addition, the rising focus on environmental concerns is anticipated to influence the market greatly.
