Industry Analysis & Industry Trends
Power player
The industry will increasingly rely on demand for maintenance from nuclear generators, as high regulations hamper domestic construction. Nuclear generation forms will continue using power uprates to boost nuclear generating capacity, increasing nuclear power production and strengthening industry demand. Nevertheless, a continued focus on construction and design in China and Europe will limit domestic growth.... purchase to read more
Industry Report - Industry Analysis Chapter
The Nuclear Power Plant Construction industry has grown rapidly during the past five years. Revenue is expected to increase 7.4% annually to $4.4 billion in the five years to 2011. An expansion of nuclear power generation has underpinned this trend as nuclear generators expand their capacity through power uprates, resulting in higher demand for maintenance services. Power uprates expand the capacity of a nuclear generator by upgrading certain aspects of the power plant. Additionally, a strict nuclear regulatory environment has spurred growth in maintenance services as many industry firms concentrate on keeping nuclear facilities safe. The industry is also experiencing higher demand for design and new nuclear construction services, with a new nuclear plant expected in 2012. How... purchase to read more
