Global Uranium Enrichment and Uranium Conversion Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Uranium Enrichment and Uranium Conversion market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1200 million in 2025 to US$ 2169 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Uranium conversion and uranium enrichment are two key steps in the nuclear fuel production chain, mainly used to process natural uranium into nuclear fuel that can be used in nuclear reactors. Natural uranium mainly exists in the form of uranium oxide (U₃O₈, commonly known as yellowcake), which contains about 99.3% U-238 and only 0.7% U-235 (fissile isotopes). In the conversion stage, the yellowcake is first chemically treated and converted into gaseous uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), which is convenient for subsequent physical separation of higher concentrations of U-235. The conversion product UF₆ is usually stored in closed containers and used as a direct raw material for the uranium enrichment process.
Uranium enrichment refers to the use of centrifuge, laser or diffusion techniques to increase the U-235 content in UF₆ from 0.7% in its natural state to 3%–5% to meet the fuel requirements of nuclear power plants such as light water reactors. The process unit is expressed in SWU (separative work unit), which is used to measure the amount of work required to separate different isotopes. The enriched uranium remains in the form of UF₆, which is then converted into UO₂ powder, pressed into fuel pellets and loaded into fuel assemblies for use in nuclear power plants. Both the uranium enrichment and conversion processes are under the international nuclear non-proliferation regulatory system and are subject to strict technical and trade controls.
According to statistics from the 2017 WNA Nuclear Fuel Report, the production capacity of uranium hexafluoride, a major international uranium conversion supplier, is 52,600 tU (UF6)/a, and the actual estimated total production is 41,800 tons. According to UxC statistics, the secondary supply volume in the global market in 2018 was approximately 35,000 tons.
