Small Modular Reactor Market
Introduction
The small modular reactor market was valued at $5.8 billion in 2022, and is estimated
to reach $13.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2023 to 2032.
Primary differences in small modular reactors (SMRs) in comparison with larger
nuclear power plants are their low power output (typically below 300 MWe per unit),
modularity, and integrated design. Older generations of nuclear power plants are large
and require huge amount of capital and construction time.
Moreover, installation location of nuclear reactor is far away from large power grid
system, which led to increase in cost. Hence, setting up a nuclear reactor is not feasible
in remote locations, thus paving for the development of smaller nuclear reactors.
Small modular reactors have smaller footprints and as they are prefabricated in
factories, constructing them takes less time and cost. In addition, SMRs can be readily
installed in brownfield sites in place of decommissioned coal-fired plants.

Thus, retrofitting is possible in the case of SMRs. With rise in emphasis on achieving
political and technological solutions to climate change, many experts in the global
community are turning their focus to virtually emissions-free power produced by
nuclear reactors.
Therefore, continuous development of small modular reactors (SMRs) offers a
potential opportunity to overcome many hindrances presented by larger nuclear
power plants, including high costs, complex supply chains, large physical
infrastructure, and unsuitability in harsh environments, such as the Arctic. However,
hazards around the safety of nuclear energy and more focus on wind and solar energy
generation are key hindrances to the global small modular reactor industry. The
abovementioned factors will provide small modular reactor market opportunities for
the further development in the forecast period.

Key Findings Of The Study:
• On the basis of reactor type, the heavy water reactor segment emerged as the
global leader by acquiring nearly half of the small modular reactors market share
in 2022 and is anticipated to continue this small modular reactor market trends
during the forecast period.
• On the basis of connectivity, the grid connected segment emerged as the global
leader by acquiring more than two-third of the market size in 2022 and is
anticipated to continue this trend during the small modular reactor market
forecast period.
• Depending on deployment, the single module power plant segment emerged as
the largest market share in 2022, which accounts for nearly three-fourths of the
small modular reactors market share.
• Depending on power rating, the up to 100 MW segment emerged as the largest
market share in 2022, which accounts for nearly half of the small modular
reactors market size.
