Europe nuclear reactor construction market accounted for $9,369.9 million in 2020 and will grow by 2.8% annually over 2020-2027 owing to the technological advancement and growing need to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.
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. 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 pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear reactor sector has dominated the market in the past and is expected to do so in the forecast period too. The reactor is the most popular form of nuclear reactor due to its higher control and safety compared to other forms of reactors. 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. With less fissile material in the core reactor, chances of additional fission reaction reduce, that makes the reactors to have only the required temperature and reduce the chances of facing any kind of unfavorable conditions, thus making the reactor safer and controllable. Lastly, PWR has separate loops for water and nuclear reaction. This reduces the chances of water contamination with radioactive material. PWR has some advantages over other reactors that make it the most used nuclear reactor in the globe. PWR reactors are low cost operating reactor, as both the coolant and the moderator used in the reactor is light water, which is cheaper than other kinds of coolant, like heavy water. The Europe nuclear reactor construction market is moderately consolidated.
