North America has dominated the global nuclear fusion market for decades owing to significant presence of leading industry players and government research institutions in the U.S. and Canada with 37.7% share. The region is a pioneer in fusion research and has made considerable progress in developing technologies for controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors. Several nuclear fusion projects funded by organizations like the U.S. Department of Energy and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission are currently underway in the region. Moreover, North American universities are at the forefront of plasma physics and nuclear engineering research, contributing immensely to advancements in the field.

One region that has emerged as the fastest growing market for nuclear fusion in recent years is Asia Pacific. Several factors have contributed to the rapid growth. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea and India are investing heavily in building national fusion research programs and experimental reactors. For instance, China is constructing an immense Tokamak reactor called 'East' with a timeline for operational launch by 2040. Additionally, presence of leading engineering and manufacturing companies in the region has facilitated improved collaborations between industry and research institutes. Further, Asia Pacific is steadily gaining expertise in magnet, vacuum and cryogenic technologies essential for fusion systems. The region also has a competitive advantage due to comparatively lower costs and growing export opportunities. All these aspects are expected to further propel the Asia Pacific nuclear fusion market.
