SMALL MODULAR REACTOR MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024 - 2031)
Small modular reactor market is estimated to be valued at USD 5.89 Bn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 7.34 Bn by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% from 2024 to 2031. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are nuclear reactors that are smaller in size yet generate less electricity than traditional nuclear power plants. SMRs can be factory-built and transported to sites by truck, rail, or vessel. This modular construction reduces the required capital investment and construction timelines for the deployment of new nuclear capacity. SMRs can range between 10 and 300 MWe in size and cater to smaller electric grids, remote communities, and non-electric applications such as district heating and desalination. Given their modular design and shorter construction periods, SMRs have potential to play a complementary role to large nuclear plants and help expand nuclear power capacity in the coming years.
Market Dynamics
Small modular reactor market growth is driven by factors such as lower upfront capital costs, shorter construction periods, scalable power output, and siting flexibility of SMRs. Their modular design allows incremental capacity additions as per growing power needs. Favorable government policies and investments in new nuclear technologies across countries also boost the market growth. However, high levelized cost of energy compared to other baseload sources and unproven nature of some SMR designs at commercial scale remain challenges. Initiatives to develop generation IV reactors with passive safety features and capabilities of district heating/hydrogen production present opportunities. Ongoing demonstration and pre-commercial projects by market players will be crucial to gaining regulatory approvals and wider market acceptance.
