According to the report, the small modular reactors (SMRs)
market is projected to reach $6.14 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 2.4%
from 2024 to 2030. The market’s growth is being driven by the increasing
adoption of SMRs for electricity generation, government initiatives focusing on
decarbonization, and the growing demand for reliable and flexible nuclear power
solutions. Despite these positive factors, stringent regulatory policies and
deployment standards are expected to restrain market growth. Nevertheless, the
increasing focus on net-zero emissions and the decarbonization of the energy
sector is expected to provide ample opportunities for growth in the SMR market.
One of the significant challenges faced by players in this industry is the lack
of a standardized licensing process.
The report also highlights the growing global trends
favoring clean and dependable energy sources. The demand for SMRs reflects the
energy sector’s movement toward sustainability and efficiency.
Market Segmentation and Key Insights
The small modular reactors market is segmented by type,
coolant, deployment mode, fuel type, and application, offering a comprehensive
analysis of the market dynamics and trends.
Segmentation by Type
The market is categorized into light-water reactors,
heavy-water reactors, high-temperature reactors, fast neutron reactors, molten
salt reactors, and fast breeder reactors. Among these, light-water reactors are
expected to dominate the market in 2024. Their large market share can be
attributed to their superior efficiency in generating energy from water and
their ability to serve as both a coolant and moderator for nuclear fission.
Light-water reactors are also anticipated to have the highest growth rate in
the forecast period.
Segmentation by Coolant Type
The coolant segment includes liquid lead, gases, water, and
other coolants. In 2024, the water segment is projected to hold the largest
market share, driven by the growing need for water coolants to transfer heat
from the reactor core to the steam turbines. Water coolants are widely adopted
due to their efficiency in maintaining stable pressures within the reactor
core, and the segment is expected to record the highest CAGR over the forecast
period.
Segmentation by Deployment Mode
The deployment mode of small modular reactors is categorized
into land-based and marine-based options. In 2024, land-based deployment is
expected to hold the largest share of the market, driven by the enhanced
safety, security, and lower maintenance costs associated with land-based SMRs.
However, marine-based deployment is anticipated to register the highest growth
rate during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for affordable,
carbon-free power and the development of clean energy solutions that are safer,
cost-efficient, and flexible.
Segmentation by Fuel Type
Based on fuel type, the market is segmented into uranium and
other fuel types. Uranium is expected to dominate the market in 2024, thanks to
its ability to generate large-scale, low-carbon electricity. The demand for
uranium is also growing in nuclear power plants due to its effectiveness in
facilitating nuclear fission. The uranium segment is projected to exhibit the
highest growth rate over the forecast period.
Segmentation by Application
The application of SMRs spans power generation, process
heat, desalination, and other uses. The power generation segment is anticipated
to hold the largest market share in 2024. This is driven by the growing demand
for carbon-free electricity, low fuel costs, and the increasing efficiency of
power plants utilizing SMRs. Power generation applications are also expected to
grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to their portability
and ease of construction.
Geographic Analysis
The small modular reactors market is divided into five
regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle
East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest market share by
2024, followed by Europe and North America. Asia-Pacific’s dominance is driven
by the presence of leading SMR providers, the increasing deployment of SMRs in
coastal and offshore areas, and the integration of renewable energy with
nuclear power systems. The region’s strong demand for low-carbon, flexible
energy solutions also contributes to its market leadership. Furthermore,
Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest growth rate during the
forecast period.
