Global Small Modular Reactor Market is valued approximately USD 5.7 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 2.3% over the forecast period 2023-2030. A Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is a type of nuclear power plant that is smaller and more flexible compared to traditional large-scale nuclear reactors. It is designed to provide electricity and heat by using nuclear reactions to generate energy. What makes SMRs special is that they are built in smaller pieces or modules, making them easier to manufacture, transport, and assemble. These modular reactors can be used in various locations, such as remote areas, industrial sites, or communities, where they can generate reliable and clean energy to meet the specific needs of those places. Its driving boosting market factors are expansion of nuclear power reactors and growing demand of electricity.
According to the Statista in 2023, there were 436 nuclear reactor operation in 32 countries around the world. The United States has the largest number of nuclear power reactors in operation which are about 93 units. The expansion of nuclear power reactors can drive the growth and adoption of small modular reactors (SMRs) due to their flexibility, cost advantages, enhanced safety features, and potential for meeting specific energy needs. Moreover, decentralized power generation and nuclear waste management will create more opportunities in the market. However, the supply chain & infrastructure, project siting and grid integration stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Small Modular Reactor Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022. The United States has been at the forefront of SMR development and deployment. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has provided substantial support for SMR projects through its funding programs. NuScale Power, an American company, is one of the notable leaders in SMR technology, having received significant funding and making progress towards commercialization.
