Small Modular Reactors Market by Size, Share, Forecasts, & Trends Analysis
Meticulous Research®, a prominent global
market research firm, released a report titled ‘Small
Modular Reactors Market by Type, Coolant, Deployment Mode, Fuel Type,
Application, and Geography — Global Forecast to 2030.’
According to this publication, the small
modular reactors (SMRs) market is anticipated to achieve $6.14 billion by 2030,
with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% throughout the
forecast period. Factors contributing to market expansion include increased
adoption of SMRs for power generation, governmental efforts towards
decarbonization, and growing demand for reliable nuclear power solutions.
However, stringent regulatory frameworks pertaining to SMR deployment pose
challenges to market growth. Nonetheless, opportunities are anticipated due to
heightened focus on achieving net zero emissions and advancing decarbonization
in the energy sector. Despite these prospects, the absence of standardized licensing
procedures remains a significant hurdle for industry participants. Key trends
in the global SMRs market include escalating demand for clean and dependable
energy sources.
The small modular reactors market is
categorized based on several factors: types of reactors (including light-water
reactors such as pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors,
heavy-water reactors, high-temperature reactors, fast neutron reactors, molten
salt reactors, and fast breeder reactors), coolant types (like liquid lead,
gases, water, and other coolants), deployment modes (whether land-based or
marine-based), fuel types (primarily uranium but also other fuel types),
applications (spanning power generation with both single-module and
multi-module plants, process heat, desalination, and other uses), and
geographical considerations. The report also includes an assessment of industry
rivals and conducts market analysis at regional and national scales.
Based on type, the small modular
reactors market is divided into various segments including light-water
reactors, heavy-water reactors, high-temperature reactors, fast neutron
reactors, molten salt reactors, and fast breeder reactors. As of 2023, the
light-water reactors segment is expected to dominate the market share within
small modular reactors. This significant share is driven by the rising adoption
of light-water reactors, which are noted for their efficient energy generation
from water and their dual role as both a moderator and coolant to manage the
energy produced through nuclear fission. Moreover, this segment is projected to
experience the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast
period.
Based on coolant type, the small modular
reactors market includes segments for coolant types such as liquid lead, gases,
water, and other coolants. By 2023, the water segment is anticipated to hold
the largest market share in the small modular reactors sector. This dominance
is driven by the rising demand for water coolant, which effectively transfers
heat from the reactor core to steam turbines, and the growing preference for
water coolant to regulate pressure levels within the core. Additionally, this
segment is forecasted to achieve the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
throughout the forecast period.
Based on deployment mode, the small modular
reactors market is divided into land-based and marine-based deployment
segments. By 2023, the land-based deployment segment is projected to hold a
larger share of the small modular reactors market. This segment's dominance is
driven by the increasing adoption of land-based deployment for SMRs, which
ensures safety and security, and the operational advantages of lower
maintenance costs associated with land-based setups. However, the marine-based
deployment segment is expected to achieve the highest compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to rising
demand for cost-effective, carbon-free power solutions, and the growing
necessity for cleaner energy alternatives that offer enhanced safety, affordability,
and flexibility.
Based on fuel type, the small modular
reactors market includes segments for uranium and other types of fuel. By 2023,
the uranium segment is anticipated to dominate the small modular reactors
market. This segment's significant share is driven by rising demand for
uranium, which is capable of generating substantial low-carbon baseload
electricity and is increasingly sought after for use in nuclear power plants
utilizing nuclear fission. Additionally, the uranium segment is forecasted to
achieve the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast
period.
Based on application, the small modular
reactors market is categorized into segments including power generation,
process heat, desalination, and other applications. By 2023, the power
generation segment is projected to hold the largest share of the small modular
reactors market. This segment's dominance is driven by increasing demand for
large-scale production of carbon-free electricity, the rising preference for
cost-effective fuel options, and the growing utilization of power plants for
enhanced efficiency, portability, and ease of construction. Additionally, the
power generation segment is expected to achieve the highest compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period.
Based on geography, the small
modular reactors market is segmented across North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2023,
Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the small modular
reactors market, followed by Europe, North America, Latin America, and the
Middle East & Africa. The significant market share in Asia-Pacific can be
attributed to the presence of leading companies offering small modular
reactors. Additionally, factors such as increasing deployments of SMRs in coastal,
island, and offshore locations, the integration of renewable energy sources
with SMRs, and rising demand for low-carbon, reliable, and flexible power
generation contribute to the growth of the small modular reactors market in
Asia-Pacific. Moreover, this region is forecasted to experience the highest
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period.
