The global microbial fuel cell market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 9.0 million in 2017 to USD 18.6 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Excessive dependence on conventional energy resources, especially oil & gas, by the growing human population has accelerated the global energy crisis in recent years. On the other hand, the increasing demand for potable water and the need for wastewater treatment have emerged as key issues faced by governments and industries, especially in developing regions. Wastewater is basically water containing organic and inorganic wastes from commercial, residential, and industrial processes.

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology offers a solution to these problems. Through a microbial process, MFCs produce clean energy from various organic wastes, especially wastewater. MFCs also create numerous opportunities for harvesting electricity, through a one-step process, as compared to traditional methods of green energy production, such as biogas, which is a highly complex and multistage process to generate electricity.

MICROBIAL FUEL CELL MARKET, BY REGION, 2025 (USD MILLION)

In 2017, North America is expected to account for the maximum share of the global microbial fuel cell market. The U.S. microbial fuel cell market is driven by huge incentives and R&D investments from the government as well as various enterprises. According to various universities and government agencies in the U.S., the microbial fuel cell technology would be cost-effective as compared to other options of renewable energy production from biomass. Moreover, in the U.S., municipal authorities from California, New York, Ohio, and others are involved in research and development of MFC projects and are working towards the commercialization of MFC technology. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness major growth, owing to the increasing focus on research & development of MFC among Universities in the region, especially in Japan, India and China. On the other hand, factors such as high initial investment in R&D and the wide gap between lab-based research and actual full scale commercialization limits the adoption of the technology.

New product launches, partnerships, and contracts are identified as key growth strategies adopted by leading players in this market. Additionally, Key players, such as Cambrian Innovation Inc., Emefcy, MICROrganic Technologies, Inc., and Microbial Robotics are focusing on patent acquisition, and relying on government grants to support their MFC-related R&D activities. At present, no complete commercial MFC installation exists in the market. Most MFC applications are still in the conceptual phase, with major projects also in still the R&D phase. However, these applications and projects are expected to be completed and commercially introduced within the next few years. Leading players in the market, such as Emefcy and Cambrian Innovation Inc., are focused on launching full scale commercialized products by 2017. Better research & development activity from top players in the market can definitely speed up their commercialization.
