Increasing Funding From Private and Public Organizations to Drive the Market Growth

Published: Feb 2024

The global Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR of 32.8% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Globally, the SOFC market has experienced significant growth in investments in recent years from both public and private organizations primarily due to growing demand for clean energy solutions in both battery generation and storage. Considering the benefits of SOFC such as which aligns with global sustainable energy goals, global governments are increasingly supporting the overall SOFC market with favorable policies and funding. For instance, in September 2020, the US Department of Energy (DOE) disclosed its selection of 12 projects to receive around $34 million in federal funding through the Small-Scale SOFC and Hybrid Electrolyzer Technology Development Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
