Market Dynamic
GROWING GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND A RISE IN R&D DRIVES THE MARKET FOR SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL
The widespread interest in solid oxide fuel cells can be attributed to numerous factors that have increased sales and technology development. The governmental support programs offered by many states are an important driver of the industry because they provide incentives and subsidies for energy companies that install fuel cells into their facilities, as well as investors interested in funding these projects. In the United States, there are both private and governmental organizations that have instigated various policies to encourage the deployment of this clean energy source.
HIGH INVESTMENT COSTS HAMPER THE MARKET GROWTH
Stabilized yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite electrodes are needed for SOFCs as a core material because of their high thermal conductivity. The study from US research institutions concluded that cell performance increases further when the cell uses YSZ composite electrodes with the electrolyte. Therefore, these cells positively impact SOFC technology in its application to emission control systems for air pollutant reduction.
RISE IN ADOPTION FROM VARIOUS END-USE INDUSTRY
The use of data centers in the US is growing steadily at a high rate, consuming considerable amounts of power. The demand for electricity to sustain these data centers is expected to increase; thus, the need for cost reductions by adopting distributed generation, such as fuel cells. SOFCs have seen tremendous growth in recent years due to their adoption by Google, IBM, and Equinix. The current market size of SOFCs is still small compared with other sectors in the US, but with the expansion of existing facilities and new capacities, this could be a lucrative end-use segment for SOFCs.

Segment-Wise Analysis
Why is Planar projected to ensure the most revenue during the forecast period?
The “Planar” segment held the largest revenue share of around 60.22% of the market in 2021 and is anticipated to dominate throughout the stipulated period. This is due to its much easier process of construction. The Planar type of SOFCs is designed in such a unique manner that the ceramic fuel cell modules are placed one above the other, just like a sandwiched-type design with an electrolyte inserted between the two electrodes (electrolyte soaked between two electrodes).
Why is the Stationary segment expected to expand the fastest during the forecast period?
In 2021, The stationary segment was the leader in the industry for many years, which continues to dominate this industry with a share of about 47.33% in 2021. The growth opportunities for the market lie mainly in Oxygen-powered fuel cells for renewable energy generation, as well as increased demand for energy storage systems that can be charged using renewable sources of power like wind and solar.
