The global nuclear power plant and equipment market was valued at $41.1 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $58.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2020 to 2030


Nuclear technology uses the energy released by splitting the atoms of certain elements. It was first developed in the 1940s, and during the Second World War research initially focused on producing bombs. In the 1950s attention turned to the peaceful use of nuclear fission, controlling it for power generation. The uses of nuclear technology extend well beyond the provision of low-carbon energy. It helps control the spread of disease, assists doctors in diagnosis and treatment of patients, and powers our most ambitious missions which is to explore space. These varied uses position nuclear technologies at the top to achieve sustainable development. According to World Nuclear Association, around 10% of the world's electricity is generated by about 440 nuclear power reactors. About 50 more reactors are under construction, equivalent to approximately 15% of existing capacity. In 2020 nuclear plants supplied 2553 TWh of electricity, down from 2657 TWh in 2019. Prior to 2020, electricity generation from nuclear energy had increased for seven consecutive years. In addition, there is a clear need for new generating capacity around the world, both to replace old fossil fuel units, especially coal-fired ones, which emit a lot of carbon dioxide, and to meet increased demand for electricity in many countries. However, to replace old fossil fuel, nuclear energy play a vital role which may drive the market growth also.

Rise in energy demand clubbed with international climate change goals, and growth in nuclear investments across the globe may act as the major driving factor for the global nuclear power plant and equipment market. In addition, nuclear power remains as an important option for many countries to improve energy security, reduce the impact of volatile fossil fuel prices and mitigate the effects of climate change and air pollution. However, high cost of associated with nuclear power plant may act as the major restraining factor for the market growth.

Nuclear power plants are differed from fossil power plants mainly in the source of heat for converting water into steam, which is subsequently used to run the turbine and produce electricity. In addition, the source of heat is nuclear fission (or fusion, in future fusion reactors), while in the latter, it is the combustion of the fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or gas. Therefore, the structural materials chosen for nuclear reactors should also meet the requirements of fossil power plants in terms of good creep resistance, oxidation resistance, low-cycle fatigue strength, and thermal conductivity. Moreover, the elements present in the structural materials should also have a low neutron absorption cross-section, that is the probability of neutrons produced in the reactor being absorbed by these elements should be low. Furthermore, the properties of these materials should not degrade under the high levels of radiation that exist in nuclear reactors. Such degradation is generally referred to as radiation damage and includes irradiation embrittlement, irradiation creep, and swelling, helium embrittlement. In addition, nuclear power provides almost 15 %of the world’s electricity and according to the U.S. energy information and administration, as of December 31, 2020, 94 nuclear reactors were operating at 56 nuclear power plants in 28 states. 32 of the plants have 2 reactors, and 3 plants have three reactors. Nuclear power plants have supplied about 20% of total annual U.S. electricity since 1990.

The growth in demand for low-carbon-emission energy and long-life power plants led to an increase in demand for nuclear power plants, and the fast expansion of nuclear power plants created a number of opportunities for nuclear power plant equipment. .

Impact Of Covid-19 On The Global Nuclear Power Plant And Equipment Market


  • COVID-19 has impacted various industries due to shut down of different industrial operations and disrupted supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to less workforce However, there is a gradual decline in the equipment segment of the nuclear power plant and equipment market due to the impact of COVID-19
  • The electric industry accounted for significant share in terms of consumption during global lockdown. Electricity consumption has grown due to large decreases in services and industry, which have only been partially compensated by rise in household use, which has raised demand for nuclear power plants and equipment
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nuclear power and the nuclear fuel industry on both the supply and demand side. In the short term, the impact is greatest on the supply side for uranium, as various mines and nuclear fuel cycle facilities are suspending operations due to health concerns As a result, the uranium price increased 33% from its lowest point registered in mid-March this 2020
  • Demand for nuclear power is directly proportional to the demand for nuclear fuel which was highly impacted due to COVID-19, but not nearly to the same extent as oil due to the nature of underlying demand for electricity versus oil. The Energy Information Administration estimates that the demand for electricity in the U.S. was declined by 3% in 2020. In France, where nearly 75% of electrical generation comes from nuclear energy, electricity demand is projected to decline by 15-20% in 2020 As a result, France’s EDF has already downgraded its nuclear power generation outlook for both 2020 and 2021 by 8-12% less than its pre-pandemic forecasts
  • Reactor construction schedules have also been impacted due to COVID-19 issues. China, which accounts for much of the world’s new reactor build, some new reactor projects have been halted temporarily. Reactor construction in the U.S., France, the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, and the UK have also been negatively impacted These delays are a function of the reduction of staff at the construction sites and disruptions in the supply chain
  • The delay in reactor construction along with the drop in electricity demand negatively affected the nuclear power output in the 2021, but the extent of the impact is uncertain In China, which has the largest new reactor construction program, economic growth has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (due to developments on both of the sides of China) and thus the need for new electricity generation has slowed
  • The nuclear industry has been taking special measures to cope with the global pandemic, and no country has reported the enforced shutdown of a nuclear power reactor due to the effects of COVID-19 on the workforce or supply chains. This is according to reports from operators and regulators received through the IAEA’s COVID-19 Operational Experience Network (OPEX) and International Reporting System for Operating Experience (IRS) However, the abovementioned point shows that there is a sluggish decline in the nuclear power plant and equipment market
