Product Definition:
A light water reactor (LWR) is a type of nuclear reactor that uses ordinary water as its coolant and neutron moderator. As a result, it is the most common type of reactor in the world.
Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs):
Pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are used for nuclear power plants. The reactivity of a reactor is controlled by the pressure of the fluids it contains. A common type of PWR uses pressurized water as a coolant and fuel, along with uranium or another fissile material for neutron absorption.
Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs):
BWRs are used in nuclear power plants for the production of energy. The process involves the use of water to generate steam which drives a turbine and produces electricity. BWR is an advanced type of boiling water reactors that has several advantages over LWR such as it can handle higher thermal loads, provides greater flexibility in terms of design, and offers improved safety features among others.
Application Insights:
Power plants application segment accounted for the largest share of over 50% in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the growing demand for electricity across emerging economies including China, India and Brazil. LWRs are used as a primary source of energy in almost all the power plants across the world owing to their ability to generate large amount of electricity with low costs.
The others application segment includes commercial facilities, research & education institutions and military installations. Light water reactors are widely used in commercial facilities as they offer high safety levels along with ease of operations and maintenance procedures that help avoid any potential accidents or incidents during normal operations at these sites.
Research & education institutions use boiling water reactors (BWRs) due to their safe operating characteristics when compared with pressurized water reactors (PWRs).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest growth over the forecast period, owing to increasing nuclear power plant construction in countries such as China and India. The region is expected to account for a share of nearly 50% of global LWRs by 2030. In addition, factors such as rising electricity demand from emerging economies and government support for nuclear energy are likely to drive regional market growth over the forecast period.
The European market was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to high penetration rates of advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR) models in Japan and Russia coupled with favorable regulatory policies across Europe.
North America emerged as one of the largest regional markets accounting for more than 25% share of global revenue in 2017 due an increase installation rate's ABW reactors especiallyin U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for electricity due to population growth and industrialization in developing countries
- Government policies and regulations supporting the use of nuclear power as a source of energy
- Rising concerns over climate change and air pollution, driving the need for low-carbon energy sources
- Technological advancements that have led to increased efficiency and safety of LWRs
- Growing number of aging nuclear reactors worldwide that need to be replaced
