The nuclear power plant is a thermal power station where heat is produced through a nuclear reactor. The generated heat is used to produce steam that drives a stream turbine which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. The overall electricity production with the help of nuclear power plant uses respective equipment.

Market Dynamics

The increasing demand for electricity across the globe coupled with the rising demand for cleaner and efficient ways of energy generation is driving the market growth. The increasing construction of nuclear power plants along with the growing nuclear investments in developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region is supporting the market value. Additionally, the technological advancements coupled with the international climate change goals are additionally contributing to market growth.

On the other side, the lower cost of renewable inculcated with negligible emissions and high cost associated with the nuclear power plant and equipment setup as well as adverse health effect associated with the exposure to the workers are some of the factors projected to hinder the growth over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.                                                                                                                                                                               

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) segment accounted for the major market share

In 2019, the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) segment by reactor type is leading the market with a major share (%). The nuclear power plants, operators prefer pressurized water reactors due to increased concern for safety as the pressurized water reactor is the safest from all available types. Additionally, the pressurized water reactors also protect water from the contamination with the radioactive material that minimizes the environmental damages. The increasing demand and construction of PWR along with the rising environmental concern are accelerating the market value.
