Dublin, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Nuclear Fusion and Advanced Materials: Emerging Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global nuclear fusion technologies market is poised for remarkable growth, with projections indicating a surge from $1.7 billion in 2035 to a staggering $6.8 billion by the end of 2040. This substantial growth is expected to be driven by advancements in fusion technology, increasing private investment, and a growing number of innovative start-ups entering the nuclear fusion industry.
Key Findings:
- Global Growth: The global nuclear fusion technologies market is forecasted to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6% during the period of 2035-2040, reflecting the rapid evolution of fusion technology.
- North American Expansion: The North American market for nuclear fusion technologies is anticipated to experience significant growth, increasing from $1.2 billion in 2035 to $4.4 billion by 2040, with a CAGR of 29.4% during the same forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific Rise: The Asia-Pacific market for nuclear fusion technologies is projected to witness exponential growth, rising from $182.3 million in 2035 to $1 billion by 2040, with an impressive CAGR of 41.4% during 2035-2040.
Nuclear fusion, a concept understood since the 1950s, is advancing rapidly due to significant developments in technology. Enhanced simulation codes and digital controls have enabled a deeper understanding and better regulation of fusion processes. These advancements have accelerated the evolution of fusion technology.
Private investment is playing an increasingly vital role in the fusion landscape. Encouraged by promising progress and the urgent need for zero-carbon energy, funding is flowing from various sources, including technology venture capital, established energy companies like Eni and Equinor, and high-net-worth individuals such as Sam Altman. Private companies are now designing full-scale prototypes and building larger fusion machine components, with the aim of running commercial fusion machines between 2031-2035.
Furthermore, the nuclear fusion industry is witnessing a surge in start-ups exploring various fusion technologies, including magnetic confinement, inertial confinement, and hybrids. Over the past five years, 18 new nuclear fusion start-ups have emerged, with an average of four start-ups founded annually from 2019 to 2022. Many of these start-ups have secured backing from prominent publicly listed companies, further emphasizing the growing interest and investment in nuclear fusion.
For example, TAE Technologies raised $250 million in funding in June 2022, with support from industry giants like Google and Chevron. Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, a Japanese investment firm, also joined the round to assist TAE in introducing its fusion technology to the Asia-Pacific region.
