原子力廃止措置市場の2030年までの予測：原子炉タイプ、サービスタイプ、容量、用途、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の原子力廃止措置市場は2024年に72億米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは6.9％で成長し、2030年には108億米ドルに達する見込みです。

原子力発電所の廃止措置は、放射性物質を除去し、建物を解体し、公衆の健康と環境へのリスクを回避するために修復することを含みます。放射性物質は危険であるため、この複雑で管理された手順には数十年を要することがあります。埋設、遅延解体、迅速解体の3つが主な戦略です。安全性と規制遵守を確保するため、原子力発電所の廃止措置は、世界的に老朽化した原子力発電所の数が増加していることから、極めて重要な重点分野となりつつあります。そのためには、専門的知識、最先端技術、多額の資金が必要となります。

老朽化した原子力施設

原子炉の運転寿命が終わりに近づくにつれ、安全上の危険性が高まり、経済性が低下するため、環境保全と公共の安全の両方を保証するために廃炉が必要となります。さらに、安全な閉鎖のためのより厳しい基準が政府や規制機関によって課せられているため、複雑なコンプライアンス要件を管理するための専門的な廃止措置サービスへの需要が生じており、これが市場の成長を後押ししています。

放射性廃棄物処理の管理

廃止作業中、放射性物質の管理と保管は困難な課題であり、慎重な計画と規制基準の厳格な遵守が必要となります。このような複雑な作業は、費用を増加させ、プロジェクトの遅延を引き起こす可能性があります。さらに、廃棄物処分場に関する規制当局の認可や一般市民の承認を得るには、審査や一般市民への働きかけが必要となるため、長期にわたる手続きが必要となる場合があり、これが市場力学に影響を与え、廃炉スケジュールを遅らせる可能性があります。

再生可能エネルギーへの世界的シフト

政治的圧力の高まりと安全性への懸念が相まって、原子力発電から風力発電や太陽光発電のような再生可能エネルギーへの移行が加速しています。もはや財政的に実現不可能であり、持続可能性の目標にも合致しない、時代遅れの原子力発電所の廃炉は、この変化によって推進されています。この変化は、多くの国が徐々に原子力エネルギーから脱却し、より環境に優しい選択肢へと移行している、一部の地域で特に顕著です。

高い除染コスト

原子力廃止措置で最も重要な側面のひとつが除染であり、これには多額の費用がかかります。施設の規模や複雑さによって正確な費用が決まるが、その額は数億米ドルから数十億米ドルに及ぶ。特に予算が厳しい小規模で古い施設では、この経済的負担によって投資が抑制される可能性があります。技術的な制約や規制の遵守といった予期せぬ問題が、遅延や予算超過を引き起こし、財源をさらに圧迫し、市場拡大を制限することもあります。

COVID-19の影響：

COVID-19の大流行は、労働力不足を引き起こし、衛生ガイドラインにより現場作業員を制限することで、原子力廃止措置市場に大きな影響を与えました。こうした課題は、プロジェクトのスケジュール遅延やサプライチェーンの混乱につながり、廃炉活動の進展を妨げました。その結果、多くの廃炉プロジェクトが完了期限の延長に直面し、パンデミック中およびパンデミック後の原子力廃炉市場の全体的な状況を複雑にしました。

予測期間中、加圧水型原子炉（PWR）分野が最大になる見込み

加圧水型原子炉（PWR）は、一次ループと二次ループが独立しているため、汚染の可能性が低く、運転と清掃が簡単であることから、予測期間中に最大となる見込みです。その結果、廃炉スケジュールが短縮され、費用も削減されます。PWRが老朽化し、その多くが計画寿命を超えて運転されるようになるにつれて、廃炉サービスの必要性はますます高まっており、これが市場拡大の推進力となっています。

予測期間中にCAGRが最も高くなると予想されるサービスタイプセグメント

サービス・タイプ・セグメントは、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRを示すと予想されます。これは厳しい規制や公共の安全に対する懸念と一致しており、専門サービスの必要性を煽っています。迅速な解体が不可能な場合、安全な囲い込みや埋設が頻繁に採用されるが、これらの方法は廃炉に時間がかかる可能性があり、コストを上昇させ、規制遵守を複雑にします。

最大のシェアを占める地域：

北米は、特に米国で原子力発電所の老朽化が進んでいるため、廃炉サービスを必要とするケースが増加しており、予測期間中に最大の市場シェアを占めると予想されます。政府の規則により、安全かつ環境に配慮した廃止措置が義務付けられているため、コンプライアンスを重視したプロジェクトが必要です。廃炉サービスのニーズは、閉鎖する発電所が増え、北米が再生可能エネルギーに移行するにつれて高まっています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

アジア太平洋地域は、原子炉の老朽化に伴い、予測期間中に最も高い成長率を示すと予想され、韓国と日本は廃炉サービスの需要が増加しています。特に日本では、2011年の福島事故によって安全性への懸念が高まり、法律が強化され、老朽化した原子炉の段階的廃止が予定されています。さらに、日本、韓国、台湾の政府も同様に、安全な廃炉の必要性を強く強調し、廃炉ガイドラインに従うことを事業者に義務付けています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Nuclear Decommissioning Market is accounted for $7.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $10.8 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. Nuclear decommissioning, which involves removing radioactive materials, dismantling buildings, and restoring to avoid risks to the public's health and the environment, is the safe retirement of nuclear plants after their operating life. Because radioactive materials are dangerous, this intricate and controlled procedure can take decades. Entombment, delayed disassembly, and quick dismantling are the three primary strategies. In order to ensure safety and regulatory compliance, nuclear decommissioning is becoming a crucial emphasis area because to the growing number of aged nuclear sites globally. This requires specialist knowledge, cutting-edge technology, and substantial financial resources.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Aging nuclear facilities

As nuclear reactors near the end of their operating lives, safety hazards rise and their economic viability declines, decommissioning is therefore necessary to guarantee both environmental preservation and public safety. Moreover stricter criteria for safe closure are being imposed by governments and regulatory agencies, which is creating a demand for specialized decommissioning services to manage intricate compliance requirements which boosts the markets growth.

Restraint:

Managing radioactive waste disposal

During decommissioning, managing and storing radioactive materials is a challenging task that necessitates careful planning and strict adherence to regulatory norms. This intricacy might raise expenses and cause project delays. Furthermore, obtaining regulatory clearance and public acceptance for waste disposal sites can be a drawn-out procedure that is subject to examination and public outreach, which can affect market dynamics and delay the decommissioning schedule.

Opportunity:

Global shift towards renewable energy sources

Growing political pressure combined with safety concerns is hastening the transition away from nuclear power and toward renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. The decommissioning of outdated nuclear sites, which are no longer financially feasible or consistent with sustainability objectives, is being driven by this change. This change is especially noticeable in few areas, where many nations are gradually moving away from nuclear energy and toward greener options.

Threat:

High decontamination costs

One of the most important aspects of nuclear decommissioning is decontamination, which is expensive. The magnitude and complexity of the facility will determine the exact cost, which can range from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. Investment may be discouraged by this financial burden, particularly in smaller, older institutions with tighter budgets. Unexpected issues like technology constraints or regulatory compliance can cause delays and budget overruns, further taxing financial resources and limiting market expansion.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the nuclear decommissioning market by causing labor shortages and restricting on-site personnel due to health guidelines. These challenges led to delays in project timelines and disruptions in supply chains, hindering the progress of decommissioning activities. As a result, many decommissioning projects faced extended completion deadlines, complicating the overall landscape of the nuclear decommissioning market during and after the pandemic.

The pressurized water reactor (PWR) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The pressurized water reactor (PWR) is expected to be the largest during the forecast period because their primary and secondary loops are independent, PWRs reduce the possibility of contamination and are simpler to run and clean. This results in shortened decommissioning schedules and reduced expenses. Decommissioning services are becoming more and more necessary as PWRs age and many of them operate beyond their planned lifespan, which is propelling market expansion.

The service type segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The service type segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period because it can be completed quickly and within regulatory control, immediate dismantling is a preferred service type that accelerates the availability of land. This is in line with strict regulations and worries about public safety, which fuels the need for specialized services. When quick dismantling isn't possible, safe enclosure and entombments are frequently employed; however, these methods might result in protracted decommissioning times, which raise costs and complicate regulatory compliance.

Region with largest share:

North America is expected to have the largest market share over the projection period owing to the increasing number of decommissioning services are being required due to North America's aging nuclear fleet, especially in the United States. Compliance-focused projects are necessary because government rules necessitate safe and environmentally responsible decommissioning. The need for decommissioning services is increasing as more plants close and North America shifts to renewable energy sources.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest rate of growth during the forecast period owing to their aging nuclear power reactors, South Korea and Japan are seeing an increase in demand for decommissioning services. Safety concerns were raised by the Fukushima accident in 2011, which resulted in tighter laws and the scheduled phase-out of outdated reactors, particularly in Japan. Additionally the governments of these nations-Japan, South Korea, Taiwan-have likewise placed a strong emphasis on the necessity of safe decommissioning and mandated that operators follow decommissioning guidelines.
