Factors Catalyzing Demand for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
One of the primary drivers boosting the solid oxide fuel cell market is the growing need for high-efficiency hydrogen power solutions. As industries and governments commit to reducing carbon footprints, fuel cells offer a viable path toward sustainable energy with minimal emissions.
In parallel, expansion in the deployment of both stationary and portable fuel cells for diverse energy applications is accelerating market demand. These installations cater to sectors ranging from commercial industries to residential power needs, broadening the appeal of SOFC technology.

Leading Players Influencing the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Industry
The market includes prominent companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Aisin, Hitachi Zosen, Ceres Power, Adelan, Adaptive Energy, SOLIDpower, Watt Fuel Cell, Upstart Power, Convion, Kyocera, h2e Power Systems, Elcogen, MIURA, Cummins, Sunfire, Hexis, Atrex Energy, FuelCell Energy, Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems, POSCO Energy, Nexceris, Catator, Bosch, Fuji Electric, and Ningbo SOFCMAN.
A notable recent development unfolded in August 2024 when HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering acquired Convion for €72 million (approximately US$80.5 million). This strategic move aims to strengthen HD KSOE's position in the hydrogen and SOFC markets by leveraging Convion's advanced solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies for industrial and energy applications. Convion, based in Finland, specializes in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzer cells used for power generation and hydrogen production.
