North America Modular Nuclear Power Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2028 By Reactor Type (Heavy Water Reactor (HWR), Light Water Reactor (LWR), Fast Neutron Reactor (FNR), and Molten Salt Reactor), By Location Type (Land, and Marine), By Deployment Type (Single-Module Power Plant, and Multi-Module Power Plant), By Application (Desalination, Power Generation, and Hydrogen Production), and By Country (United States, Canada, Mexico), Competitive Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The North America Modular Nuclear Power Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2023 to 2028.
The modular nuclear power design makes a non-greenhouse gas emitting, feasible, safe, and inexpensive energy promise. Nuclear reactors with a power output of under 300MWe are known as small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs have a number of advantages over conventional bulk nuclear reactors, including their smaller size and quicker building timelines. SMR development is moving forward in western nations with significant private investment, particularly from small businesses. The presence of these new investors shows a significant transition from government-driven and -funded nuclear R&D to that being led by the private sector and individuals with strong entrepreneurial aspirations, typically related to a social purpose of reasonably priced sustainable energy. SMRs can be deployed incrementally in countries or regions with smaller electricity grids to cater increasing demand for energy. SMRs results in significant cost savings through modularization and factory construction, which improves the construction schedule and cut costs even further. Non-electrical applications that benefit from SMR designs and sizes include industrial heat generation, hydrogen production, and seawater desalination. Process heat or cogeneration improves thermal efficiencies significantly, resulting in a higher return on investment. SMRs can more easily fit into brownfield sites in place of decommissioned coal-fired plants, whose units are rarely very large - more than 90% are less than 500 MWe, with some less than 50 MWe. Coal-fired units retired in the United States between 2010 and 2012 averaged 97 MWe, and those scheduled to retire between 2015 and 25 average 145 MWe.
The market for modular nuclear power is primarily being driven by an expansion in global industrialization and R&D initiatives in a number of different nations. The rapid adoption of these materials in the construction, and other industries is fuelling the demand for modular nuclear power. Due to the region's increased nuclear producing capacity and better refuelling, maintenance, and safety systems at existing facilities, the modular nuclear power market in North America is growing.
The market for modular nuclear power in North America is growing as a result of the region's increasing nuclear producing capacity brought on by enhanced refueling, maintenance, and safety systems at existing plants. Growing demand for supply power for small and medium grid systems, increased interest in compact and less complex electricity generation units, cutting-edge technology in the industry, and robust government support are all factors that are propelling market expansion. Attaining economies of scale and huge costs of licensing small modular reactors (SMRs) are major impediment in the modular nuclear power industry in North America.
Additionally, owing to lower electrical output, SMRs can be installed in an existing grid or remotely off-grid in areas with insufficient transmission lines and grid capacity, providing low-carbon power to industry and the population. This is especially true for micro reactors, a subset of SMRs designed to generate up to 10 MW of electrical power. Micro reactors have smaller footprints than other SMRs and will be more suitable for areas with a lack of clean, reliable, and affordable energy. Furthermore, micro reactors could be used as a backup power supply in an emergency or to replace diesel-fueled power generators in rural communities or remote businesses, which has raised the demand for Modular Nuclear Power in North America region.
The Fast Neutron Reactor (FNR) segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028. Fast neutron reactors (FNRs), which advance conventional power reactor technology, are on the verge of becoming widely used. Actinides, which are often the long-lived component of high-level nuclear waste, can be burned, which offers the possibility of a significantly more effective use of uranium resources. Most Generation IV reactor concepts are FNRs, and global collaboration on FNR designs is moving forward with top priority, hence generating segment revenue.
The Land segment is expected to be the largest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028 owing to growing awareness of the benefits of land power plants, such as quick electricity delivery to areas with weak power infrastructure, mobile assets that allow for easy relocation, no need for a large site, and provision of secure power supply during natural disasters, thereby contributing to higher revenue share of this segment.
The Multi-Module Power Plant segment is expected to be the largest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028 owing to the simplicity of financing additional modules, the multi-module power plant. Compared to large nuclear reactors, multi-module SMR plants are simpler to finance since SMRs require smaller upfront investments for a unit and allow for the gradual addition of additional capacity. Multi-module SMRs that support incremental module additions offer series manufacturing cost savings. As a result, financial risks may be reduced by allowing investors and operators to adapt to shifting electricity demand and financial limitations. The market for SMRs for installation in multi-module power plants is anticipated to increase as a result of these considerations.
The Desalination segment is anticipated to be the largest and fastest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028. Nuclear desalination is the process of removing salt and minerals from seawater using heat and electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Its successful operations have spanned a few hundred reactor years all over the world. The economics of nuclear electricity could also be improved via nuclear desalination. Since some of the power generating capacity may be used to run the desalination plant rather than being sold into the electricity market below cost, nuclear desalination, for instance, could help buffer nuclear power plants from low electricity prices. Nuclear desalination may also lower the price of nuclear fuel by making it possible to extract uranium from concentrated brine more economically than from seawater, thereby generating segment revenue.
Regionally, the market is anticipated to remain stable in United States with 68% of total regional share and is also predicted to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028 owing to increasing installation of small- and large-scale solar power plants in the united states region. The need for compact modular reactors has significantly increased in the region in recent years as a result of energy restrictions and technological advancements. It is frequently anticipated that many government agencies and businesses will upgrade the grid infrastructure in United States nations, which has prompted an increase in the use of SMR, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions and fosters energy security, hence enhancing the country share.
The paramount competitors covered in the North America Modular Nuclear Power market report are Brookfield, Fluor Corporation, General Atomics, General Electric, Holtec International, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Rolls Royce Plc, TerraPower LLC, Terrestrial Energy, and X Energy LLC among others.
