Market Definition
A small modular reactor is an advanced nuclear reactor used for generating electricity in a power plant with an energy capacity of around 300 MW(e). The small modular reactor utilizes the nuclear fission mechanism to generate heat to produce electricity. The power capacity of the small modular reactor is generally one-third of the conventional nuclear power reactors. But its inexpensive installation & maintenance and ability to produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity improve its applicability in power generation, water desalination hydrogen production and other sectors.
Market Insights & Analysis: North America Small Modular Reactor Market (2023-28):
The North America Small Modular Reactor Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 14% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-28, due to its surging application in the industrial sector or remote areas with limited grid capacity. The cost-effectiveness benefits of the small modular compared to the conventional large-scale reactor have been the prime factor leading to the market growth in the region, thus aiding in enhancing the market size. The North American region countries such as the US & Canada have been one of the leading producers of nuclear energy across the globe. For instance:
- In 2022, according to the US Department of Energy, the total electricity produced by the nuclear power plant was about 96.5 million KW, which held around 20% of the total electricity produced in the country. The demand for small modular reactors also grew due to surging government initiatives for promoting nuclear energy as a low-carbon emission source.

However, over the past few years, the nuclear energy industry has been facing challenges from extremely low generation costs of natural gas & renewable energy, which led to the closure of some nuclear power plants in the region. Thus, this has encouraged the countries to shift their focus & invest in research & developments for advanced nuclear technologies, as nuclear energy has been one of the most prominent sources of low-carbon energy. Countries such as the US & Canada are one of the global leaders in nuclear energy & also a prominent market for the development of small modular technologies in the region. Thus, the increasing application of this technology for electricity generation would support the regional countries in achieving the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050, further amplifying the expansion of the North America Small Modular market in the forecast period.
North America Small Modular Reactor Market Driver:
Increasing Government Inclination Toward Production of Low-carbon Electricity – The rising global warming has been a matter of concern for all countries across the globe. The government of all North American countries has been focusing on several alternative ways to reduce the utilization of fossil fuel to generate electricity. The production of energy through nuclear power plants has been one of the leading sources for decrease in the consumption of fossil fuels but traditional nuclear reactor designed as large, single-unit installations requires immense capital and space.
