Small Modular Reactor Market to grow USD 6.8 billion by 2030

"The small modular reactor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2023 to 2030"

The global small modular reactor market is estimated to grow from USD 6.8 billion by 2030 from an estimated of USD 5.8 billion in 2023; it is expected to record a CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period. Increased investment in industrial production is driving the demand of small modular reactor market.According to the International Energy Agency, nuclear energy accounted for ~10% of the global electricity generation mix in 2021. Asia Pacific, along with Europe and the Americas, provide lucrative opportunities for the deployment of SMRs owing to their small size, which enables siting feasibility in remote regions, isolated grids, islands, and small-scale grids. The governments of the US, the UK, and Canada have undertaken various policy initiatives to accelerate the development and commercialization of SMR technology.

Based on by power rating of small modular reactor, the 101-200 MW segment is estimated to be the second largest-growing market from 2023 to 2028. The power rating of 101-200 MW holds a market share of 29.3% share of the small modular reactor market in 2022. In addition to power generation, small modular reactors (SMRs) in the range of 101 to 200 MW can indeed be actively used in the field of desalination. Desalination is the process of converting seawater or brackish water into freshwater suitable for various purposes, including drinking water, agriculture, and industrial applications. SMRs can play a significant role in this domain by providing the necessary energy for desalination plants. The excess heat generated by the reactor can be utilized in thermal desalination methods such as multi-effect distillation (MED) or multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation. In these processes, the heat is used to evaporate seawater, leaving behind salt and impurities, and then condensing the vapor to produce freshwater.

"Molten Salt: The third largest- growing segment of the Small modular reactor market"

Based on by coolant of small modular reactor, the Molten Salt segment is estimated to be the third largest-growing market from 2023 to 2028.The salts concerned as primary coolants are mostly lithium-beryllium fluoride, and lithium fluoride. Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) use molten fluoride salts as the primary coolant. Fluoride salts have very low vapor pressures even at high temperatures due to their good heat transfer properties. They are not damaged by radiation, do not react violently with air or water, and are inert to some common structural metals. Using Molten salts as a coolant in the reactor will make them radioactive and can lead to the need for periodic maintenance. But the operational advantages of these salts are far more preferred than the disadvantages fueling the market for molten salts segment. MSRs have the flexibility to utilize various fuels, including uranium, plutonium, actinides derived from nuclear waste, and thorium. The choice of fuel depends on whether the MSRs are operating as fast reactors or not. One notable advantage of MSRs is their ability to operate at high temperatures, making them suitable for generating hydrogen and providing heat for diverse industrial applications.

The future of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) marks a significant shift in the landscape of nuclear power generation, offering a safer, more flexible, and scalable solution. SMRs, compact nuclear reactors with power outputs ranging from tens to hundreds of megawatts, are poised to address energy needs while addressing safety and environmental concerns.

With their smaller size, SMRs can be manufactured in controlled environments, ensuring higher quality and safety standards. Their modular design allows for quicker deployment and reduced construction costs. This makes them suitable for a variety of applications, from remote power generation to industrial processes and even desalination.

Safety remains a paramount focus, as SMRs incorporate passive cooling systems and advanced technologies that minimize the risk of accidents. They produce less waste and offer better options for waste disposal and recycling. These factors contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution.

The versatility of SMRs extends to grid integration and energy security. They can complement renewable sources by providing steady baseload power, thus supporting a more reliable and balanced energy mix.

However, challenges lie in regulatory frameworks, public perception, and initial investment costs. Collaborative efforts between governments, industry players, and research institutions are essential to overcome these hurdles.

In conclusion, the future of Small Modular Reactors holds the potential to reshape global energy dynamics, offering a safer, more flexible, and sustainable solution to power generation. As technology advances and deployment hurdles are addressed, SMRs could play a pivotal role in ensuring a cleaner and more secure energy future.
