The Nuclear Opportunity: Growth in the Nuclear Industry and the Expanding Supply Chain

Updated Tuesday, 25 February 2025

Rising Demand for Clean, Reliable Energy 

The nuclear industry is experiencing significant growth as governments and the private sector seek clean, reliable and affordable energy solutions to meet climate and security goals alongside the ever-increasing demand for electricity. Expansion of global nuclear capacity is being driven by extensions to operating lifetimes of existing plants, deployment of new reactors and advanced development of new technologies including small modular reactors (SMRs). The demand for nuclear power is accelerating as end-users, from big tech to manufacturing to aviation and maritime shipping, are looking for clean and reliable power sources. 

Unprecedented Opportunities in the Nuclear Supply Chain for Construction and Manufacturing 

For companies in the entire nuclear value chain, this growth presents unprecedented opportunities. This includes reactor technology vendors, engineering and construction companies, equipment manufacturers, material suppliers and professional services organizations. Similarly, companies involved in reactor construction and deployment, fuel services, operations and maintenance (O&M), and waste management will see expanded roles as new reactors come online.  With nuclear energy emerging as a key player in the clean energy transition, businesses that are positioned within the supply chain are set to thrive. 

A Bright Future for Nuclear Energy 

The future of nuclear energy offers vast potential, with multiple avenues for growth. Companies that are responsive to market trends can capitalize. Market intelligence and insight will help organizations to form new partnerships, innovate and develop new business models to meet their customers' demands, as part of a resilient nuclear value chain.
