Small Modular Reactors Market: Size, Share, Forecasts, and Trends Analysis
Meticulous Research®, a prominent global market research firm, has
released a new report titled Small Modular
Reactors Market by Type (Light-water Reactors, High-temperature Reactors), Coolant
(Water, Liquid Lead), Deployment Mode, Fuel Type (Uranium), Application (Power
Generation, Desalination) and Geography — Global Forecast to 2030.’
According to this report from Meticulous Research®, the small
modular reactors (SMRs) market is expected to reach $6.14 billion by 2030, with
a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% during the forecast period. This market growth is primarily driven by the increasing use of
SMRs for power generation, government initiatives aimed at decarbonization, and
a rising demand for reliable and flexible nuclear power. However, stringent
regulatory policies and standards for SMR deployment pose challenges.
Additionally, the market could benefit from the growing focus on net-zero
emissions and decarbonization in the energy sector. Nevertheless, the absence
of a standard licensing process remains a significant challenge for market
players. The demand for clean and reliable energy sources is a key trend in the
global small modular reactors market.
The small modular reactors market is categorized by type, coolant
type, deployment mode, fuel type, application, and geography. The report also
provides an analysis of industry competitors and evaluates the market at both
regional and country levels.

Key Findings:
- Type
Segment: The light-water reactors segment is
projected to hold the largest market share in 2024, due to the efficiency
in generating energy and their dual role as a moderator and coolant in
nuclear fission. This segment is also expected to witness the highest CAGR
during the forecast period.
- Coolant
Type Segment: The water coolant segment is
anticipated to dominate the market in 2024, driven by the need for water
to convey heat from the reactor core to steam turbines and to maintain
manageable pressures within the core. This segment is expected to register
the highest CAGR.
- Deployment
Mode Segment: The land-based deployment
segment is likely to account for the larger market share in 2024,
attributed to enhanced safety, security, and lower maintenance costs. The
marine-based deployment segment, however, is expected to grow at the
highest CAGR, fueled by the demand for affordable, carbon-free power and
clean energy solutions.
- Fuel
Type Segment: Uranium is expected to be the
dominant fuel type in 2024, owing to its capability to generate
large-scale low-carbon baseload electricity and its growing use in nuclear
power plants. This segment is projected to experience the highest CAGR.
- Application
Segment: Power generation is anticipated to
hold the largest market share in 2024, driven by the need for carbon-free
electricity, low fuel costs, and efficient, portable, and
easy-to-construct power plants. This segment is also expected to register
the highest CAGR.
- Geographical
Insights: Asia-Pacific is projected to lead
the small modular reactors market in 2024, followed by Europe, North
America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The significant
market share in Asia-Pacific is due to the presence of key players, rising
SMR deployments, integration of renewable energy sources, and the demand
for low-carbon, reliable, and flexible power generation. This region is
also expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
