Dublin, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Nuclear Power Plant Market Report 2025-2035" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
World revenue for the Nuclear Power Plant Market is set to surpass US$16.72 billion in 2025, with strong revenue growth through to 2035.
Advanced Reactor Technologies and SMR Development
One of the most significant technological drivers reshaping the nuclear landscape is the emergence of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV reactors. These advanced reactor technologies offer modular construction, enhanced safety features, reduced capital costs, and the ability to operate in remote or off-grid areas. Companies like Westinghouse and NuScale Power are at the forefront of SMR development, with NuScale's VOYGR SMR receiving design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,Aithe first of its kind.
In Europe, Rosatom is deploying its floating nuclear power plant model using SMRs in Russia's Arctic region, providing a blueprint for decentralized, scalable energy solutions. These technologies are opening up new markets for nuclear beyond traditional large-scale facilities, particularly in countries with limited grid infrastructure.
High Capital Costs and Financing Complexity
One of the most persistent challenges in the nuclear energy market is the extremely high upfront capital investment required for new plant construction. Nuclear projects often require billions of dollars and extended timelines, making them less attractive compared to quicker and more flexible alternatives like solar and wind. The construction of Flamanville 3 in France by EDF is a well-known example,Aiinitially budgeted at ,C3.3 billion, the project's cost has ballooned to over ,C13 billion and is years behind schedule. Similarly, Vogtle Units 3 and 4 in Georgia, USA (Westinghouse technology), faced significant delays and cost overruns, leading to increased scrutiny from investors and public agencies.
Such projects highlight the financial risk and complexity of nuclear investment, which is further compounded by uncertain return timelines. Even with government subsidies and green classifications, attracting private capital remains a major obstacle, especially in emerging markets with tighter fiscal constraints.
