Small Modular Reactor Market by Reactor (HWR, LWR, HTR, FNR, MSR), Deployment (Single, Multi), Connectivity (Grid, Off-grid), Location (Land, Marine), Application (Power Generation, Desalination, Industrial), Coolant and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

Small Modular Reactor Market by Reactor (HWR, LWR, HTR, FNR, MSR), Deployment (Single, Multi), Connectivity (Grid, Off-grid), Location (Land, Marine), Application (Power Generation, Desalination, Industrial), Coolant and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The small modular reactor market is projected to reach USD 7.0 billion by 2030 from an estimated USD 5.7 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period. The cost reduction due to modularization and factory production is expected to drive the small modular reactor market growth. Furthermore, the need for clean, stable and reliable nuclear energy for the supply of baseload power is driving the market. However, stringent nuclear regulatory requirements for deployment of SMRs is likely to hamper the growth of small modular reactor market.

“The water segment, by coolant, is expected to be the largest and the fastest-growing market from 2022 to 2030”

The SMR market, by coolant is bifurcated into heavy liquid metals, water, gases and molten salts. The water segment is expected to hold the largest market share in 2030. The largest market share can be attributed to the increasing adoption of light-water reactors and heavy-water reactors across various regions.

“The multi-module power plant, by deployment, is expected to be the fastest-growing market from 2021 to 2026”

The multi-module power plant segment is expected to be the fastest-growing deployment segment during the forecast period, owing to the ease of financing additional modules. Multi-module SMR plants are easier to finance compared with large nuclear reactors, as SMRs require lower upfront investments for a unit, and additional capacity may be built over time. The ability to add modules incrementally in multi-module SMRs provides economies of series production. This, in turn, could permit investors and operators to adjust to the changes in demand for electricity and budgetary constraints to reduce financial risks. These factors are expected to drive the demand for SMRs for deployment in multi-module power plants.
