Nuclear power generates about 15% of the global electricity and is one of the world’s largest sources of electricity following fossil fuel and hydropower. The global nuclear energy sector is currently facing tough times in view of the 2011 Japanese nuclear disaster, the worst nuclear incident since the Chernobyl incident brought on by the earthquake and tsunami. The disaster brought to fore the vulnerability of nuclear plants to nature’s fury and compelled global government’s to review their preparations in dealing with such large-scale crisis situations. Prior to the crisis, nuclear power was presented as an ideal alternative to fossil fuels for addressing the growing energy requirements of the world. This changed with the Fukushima disaster and led countries to reconsider their plans in view of increasingly negative perception about the energy source. The incident has forced governments across the world to reconsider existing nuclear power projects, while few countries are focusing efforts on ensuring safety of the plants. For example, Germany took a decision to suspend operations of reactors of more 30 years life, in the aftermath of the Japanese crisis.

With energy consumption expected to escalate in the future, concerns are rising about the ability of existing non-nuclear resources to address this surging demand. While established nuclear countries such as the US and UK are expected to remain the core markets for nuclear energy projects, future demand is anticipated from Asia. The nuclear power industry is expected to remain a vital sector for the highly populous and rapidly expanding economies of India and China, where electricity supply is an essential prerequisite for achieving targets of economic development. The growing need to ensure energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a major driving factor for the nuclear power industry. Positive developments are taking place across various regions, despite the threat of nuclear proliferation, risk of civilian nuclear energy contributing to nuclear weapons, and the threat of nuclear power phase out. The drive to achieve greater efficiency and maximum safety in comparison with earlier generation plants is fingered as a key factor lending traction to investments in this space.

As stated by the Global Industry Analysts research report on Nuclear Power Industry, the US continues to remain the single largest regional market. The nuclear power sector in the US is facing uncertain times in view of the nuclear disaster in Japan. The disaster is expected to result in the adoption of stringent regulatory specifications, and facilitate move towards resources such as natural gas, renewables and clean coal as alternative to nuclear power. The disaster is also expected to result in shortage of funding and future investments, whereby companies would be compelled to scrap proposed nuclear power projects. Depleting non-renewable sources is driving fast-growing economies such as China, India along with East and South East Asia to turn towards nuclear power for meeting the mounting energy demands and maintain economic development. As a result, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 12.9% over the analysis period.
