DUBLIN: The "Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Technologies and Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global market for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is expected to grow from $3.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $9.6 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

Hydrogen fuel cells represent a clean and efficient alternative to traditional power generation. The growing use of fuel cells, especially SOFC technology, in stationary applications such as electricity generation for residential usage and microgrids is driving market growth. In addition, government regulations and incentives promote the widespread use of FCEVs in pursuit of net-zero emissions. The expansion of fuel cell infrastructure, coupled with ongoing investments in hydrogen refueling stations and advances in fuel cell technology, are also resulting in more demand for SOFC.

Many companies are focused on R&D and innovations in SOFC technology. For example, in March 2024, EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies GmbH and China FAW Group signed a contract to develop and supply prototype fuel cell stack modules for SOFC technology. In November 2024, Nimbus Power Systems and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corp. jointly develop a next-generation pure hydrogen fuel cell stack for large mobility applications, such as buses and trucks, as well as for stationary uses, resulting in the growth of the SOFC market.
