small modular

Small modular reactors are nuclear explosion reactors that are used to make nuclear energy. Most of the time, they are a lot smaller than regular reactors and produce less than 300MW of electricity. The market for small modular reactors is being propelled by the growing demand for energy generation from renewable sources, which is, in turn, driven by governments around the world that are putting more and more emphasis on reducing reliance on fossil fuels in response to rising carbon emissions. Clean electricity generation is becoming increasingly important as the demand for power increases due to increasing urbanization. As a result, the small modular reactor market is growing around the world, and many governments are using small modular reactors and reaping their benefits. Moreover, small modular reactor infrastructure is encouraged by supportive policies and technological innovation.

However, the need for high investment in small modular reactors, complex technology, and materials needed for reactor uses are expensive, and strict safety rules limit the market growth. Additionally, because of the COVID-19 slowed regulatory clearances, disrupted supply chains, and delayed project development, all of which affected the small modular reactors market. However, small modular reactors have recently seen a resurgence in attention due to the ongoing post-pandemic recovery efforts and the growing emphasis on energy security. Additionally, growing interest in renewable power, developments in nuclear power, and financial backing from governments for low-carbon solutions have enormous potential due to the growing energy demand.

Market Segmentation:

The small modular reactors market is segmented based on reactor type, deployment, and application. The reactor type segment comprises light water reactor (LWR), pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR), high-temperature reactor (HTR), fast neutron reactor (FNR), and others. By deployment, the market is segmented into single-module and multi-module. By power generation capacity, the market is categorized into <25 MW, 25-100 MW, 101-300 MW, and >300 MW. By application, the market is divided into desalination, generation, and process heat.

Based On The Reactor Type, The Light Water Reactor (LWR) Segment Accounts For A Major Contributor To The Small Modular Reactors Market. 

Light water reactors (LWRs) are expected to lead with a large global market share in 2023 in the small modular reactors market because of their established safety standards, broad use, and proven technology. New and developing nuclear energy projects often favour LWRs because of their efficient and low-carbon electricity generation capabilities and strong backing from existing infrastructure.

Electricity Generation Segment To Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate

The Electricity generation segment is growing because there is a growing need for sustainable, dependable, and extensible energy solutions all around the world. Additionally, particularly in outlying places or those with smaller grids, small modular reactors provide versatile power-generating choices. Their capacity to effectively generate energy with low carbon emissions while catering to a variety of energy demands is propelling this market segment's expansion.

In The Region, The Asia Pacific Small Modular Reactors Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.

The Asia Pacific small modular reactors market is expected to record the very large market share in revenue in the near future. This can be attributed to the region's emphasis on lowering carbon emissions, large expenditures on nuclear technology, and the government's growing backing for clean energy programs. The United States also has the best energy infrastructure and the most advantageous regulatory frameworks, which are fueling the market expansion for small modular reactors technology. In addition, the Europe is expected to grow rapidly in the small modular reactors market because of rising expenditures on clean energy, growing concerns about climate change, a shift toward renewable energy sources, and robust government backing. As a result, small modular reactor technology is being adopted at a rapid pace.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.

Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.

Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.

Secondary research

The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:

  • Company websites, financial reports, annual reports, investor presentations, broker reports, and SEC filings.
  • External and internal proprietary databases, regulatory databases, and relevant patent analysis
  • Statistical databases, National government documents, and market reports
  • Press releases, news articles, and webcasts specific to the companies operating in the market

The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista

Primary Research:

Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies

The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to: 

  • Industry participants: CEOs, CBO, CMO, VPs, marketing/ type managers, corporate strategy managers, and national sales managers, technical personnel, purchasing managers, resellers, and distributors.
  • Outside experts: Valuation experts, Investment bankers, research analysts specializing in specific markets
  • Key opinion leaders (KOLs) specializing in unique areas corresponding to various industry verticals
  • End-users: Vary mainly depending upon the market

Data Modeling and Analysis:

In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.

The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
