Nuclear Waste Management System Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Waste Type (Low-Level Waste, High-Level Waste, Intermediate-Level Waste); By Reactor Type; By Disposal Options; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032
The global nuclear waste management system market size is expected to reach USD 28.43 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Nuclear Waste Management System Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Waste Type (Low-Level Waste, High-Level Waste, Intermediate-Level Waste); By Reactor Type; By Disposal Options; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The growing production of nuclear power has increased public awareness of the risks of nuclear waste. This has increased government and industry investment in nuclear waste management systems. According to the latest estimates by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), nuclear energy might supply roughly 14% of the world's electricity by 2050, up from its current 10% share, assuming that electricity generation will rise by 85% during the following three decades. According to the Agency, global nuclear power generation capacity will increase to 873 GW by 2050. This is an increase of 81 GW(e) over the forecast from the previous year. This will further fuel the growth of the market in the coming years.
The growing demand for electricity is one of the key factors fueling the growth of the market. As the world population continues to increase and economies develop, there is a growing need for reliable and affordable electricity. Nuclear power is one of the many sources of electricity that can meet this demand, and as a result, there has been a growing investment in the development of nuclear power plants. In comparison to overall energy use, the demand for electricity is growing approximately twice as quickly and is expected to increase by more than half by 2040.
Around 10% of the electricity in the world and 18% in OECD nations is produced using nuclear energy. The increased use of nuclear power for electricity generation creates a corresponding increase in the amount of nuclear waste that needs to be managed. This creates a demand for nuclear waste management systems and services that can safely and effectively handle this waste.
