Primary differences in small modular reactors (SMRs) in comparison with larger nuclear power plants are their low power output (typically below 300 MWe per unit), modularity, and integrated design. Older generations of nuclear power plants are large in size and require a huge amount of capital and construction time. Locations far away from large power grid systems find it difficult to install nuclear reactors. Hence, setting up a nuclear reactor is not feasible in remote locations, thus paving for the development of smaller nuclear reactors. They have smaller footprints and as they are prefabricated in factories, constructing them takes less time and cost. In addition, SMRs can be readily installed in brownfield sites in place of decommissioned coal-fired plants. Thus, retrofitting is possible in the case of SMRs. Growing global demand for electricity and flexibility of SMRs with respect to size and power output are some of the drivers responsible for global small modular reactor market growth.

With the rise in emphasis on achieving political and technological solutions to climate change, many experts in the global community are turning their focus to virtually emissions-free power produced by nuclear reactors. Therefore, the continuous development of small modular reactors (SMRs) offers a potential opportunity to overcome many hindrances presented by larger nuclear power plants, including high costs, complex supply chains, large physical infrastructure, and unsuitability in harsh environments, such as the Arctic.
On the other hand, negative sentiment around the safety of nuclear energy and more focus on wind and solar energy generation are key hindrances to the global small modular reactor market.
The global small modular reactor market is segmented into reactor type, location, application, and region. On the basis of reactor type, the market is segmented into heavy water reactors (HWR), light water reactors (LWR), fast neutron reactors (FNR), and Others. By application, it includes desalination, power generation, and process heat. On the basis of the application, the power generation segment accounted for the largest small modular reactor market share in 2020 and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 16.3% during the small modular reactor market forecast On the basis of region, the global market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
