Global Nuclear Energy Market Research Report - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2033)
Description
Definition and Scope:
When the commercial nuclear industry began in the 1960s, there were clear boundaries between the industries of the East and West. Today, the nuclear industry is characterized by international commerce. A reactor under construction in Asia today may have components supplied from South Korea, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Russia, and other countries. Similarly, uranium from Australia or Namibia may end up in a reactor in the UAE, having been converted in France, enriched in the Netherlands, deconverted in the UK and fabricated in South Korea.
The uses of nuclear technology extend well beyond the provision of low-carbon energy. It helps control the spread of disease, assists doctors in their diagnosis and treatment of patients, and powers our most ambitious missions to explore space. These varied uses position nuclear technologies at the heart of the world's efforts to achieve sustainable development.
Electricity generation in the Nuclear Power market worldwide is projected to reach 2.76tn kWh in 2025.An annual growth rate of 1.56% is anticipated during the period from 2025 to 2029 (CAGR 2025-2029). As countries worldwide increasingly prioritize energy security and sustainability, nuclear power is gaining renewed interest as a viable low-carbon energy source.
