Europe Nuclear Reactor Construction Market Analysis
The Europe nuclear reactor construction market is expected to decline at a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period of 2020 - 2025. Factors such as a large number of reactors with age exceeding 30 years and shift of energy generation from oil and gas towards nuclear energy are expected to be major drivers driving the market. Also, advancement in technology, leading to an increase in efficiency and reliability of modern nuclear power plants, has been a significant factor for the growth of the European nuclear reactor construction market. However, water scarcity and investment in the renewable energy sector has somewhat hampered the growth of the market.
- The pressurized water reactor has dominated the market in recent years and is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period, owing to factors like low cost operating reactor, as both the coolant and the moderator used in the reactor is light water and relatively higher controllable and safer nature of the reactor.
- The increase in electricity demand in the region is expected to provide an excellent opportunity for the Asia-Pacific nuclear reactor construction market in the forecast period.
- Russia is expected to witness significant growth in the forecast period, over rising concerns over pollution from energy plants based on coal and rising electricity demand. The country is the second largest electricity generator from nuclear power plants in the region and produced 204.5 TWh of electricity from its nuclear power plants.
