  • Latest News - Nuclear Powered Naval Vessels Market: Surface vessels are expected to lead the Product segment during 2024-2028

    The Nuclear Powered Naval Vessels Market is being driven by Cost effectiveness of nuclear power

    The Nuclear Powered Naval Vessels Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 12.44 billion. In the realm of nuclear-powered naval vessels, uranium plays a pivotal role as the primary fuel source for nuclear reactors. Specifically, it is the isotopes of Uranium-235 (U-235) that undergo nuclear fission, releasing approximately 200 million electron volts (MeV) of energy through the splitting of a single atom. Uranium naturally contains only about 0.7% U-235, making it necessary to enrich the uranium to increase its concentration for use in nuclear reactors. Historically, highly enriched uranium (HEU), containing over 20% U-235, has been the preferred choice for nuclear reactors due to its high concentration of fissile material. However, low-enriched uranium (LEU), with less than 20% U-235, is also used in some reactors and is increasingly being considered for use in advanced nuclear technologies.

    Research Analysis Overview

    The Nuclear-powered Naval Vessels market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with key players in the Black Sea region and other major naval powers investing heavily in this technology. Sanctions imposed on certain countries have not deterred their pursuit of nuclear-powered surface combatants, including ballistic missile submarines, amphibious assault ships, large destroyers, and main battle warships. These vessels are equipped with advanced armament systems, such as vertical missile launchers and rocket launchers, and are designed for surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, and air defense. In the Indian Navy, the Vishakhapatnam, INS Aridhaman, and INS Vindhyagiri are notable examples of nuclear-powered warships, with the Arihant class of ballistic missile submarines leading the way. The Government of India's military expenditure on defense equipment manufacturers continues to support the development and production of these advanced vessels. Other countries, such as the United States, Russia, China, and France, also maintain large fleets of nuclear-powered naval vessels, including frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers, further driving the growth of this market. The demand for surface vessels with AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) systems is also increasing, offering greater operational flexibility and endurance.
