由於大型和小型核電廠能夠生產清潔能源，因此擴大採用乾式儲存桶，因此乾式儲存桶的採用正在迅速增加。隨著各國對這些核電廠的大力投資，對大量 SNF 的擔憂日益加劇。這些 SNF 含有放射性物質，需要三到五年才能衰變或冷卻。然後將它們儲存在乾或濕儲存桶中。這促使乾桶的採用顯著增加，它具有多種優點，包括易於運輸、免受自然災害、延長儲存期和減少儲存空間要求。此外，核廢料法規的加強和儲存技術的進步進一步增加了世界各地乾式儲存桶的採用。

對清潔能源的需求和政府日益增長的興趣正在增加核電廠的採用。這些發電廠提供清潔能源並生產 SNF。先前，SNF儲存在濕桶中，儲存麻煩，容易受到自然災害的影響，且放射性廢棄物洩漏的風險很高。乾桶克服了這些濕儲存的缺點，並且由於其成本效益的性質而被採用。

根據聯合國國際原子能總署（IAEA）統計，截至2022年12月，33個國家有422座核反應器正在運行，發電量約佔世界電力的10.5%。此外，中國、印度、韓國、俄羅斯和土耳其等18個國家正在興建58座反應器。

據美國核管會稱，到2023年，美國18個地點的22座商用核反應器將處於退役過程的不同階段。

SNF依產品分為混凝土SNF乾式儲桶及金屬SNF乾式儲桶。金屬 SNF 預計將獲得主要市場佔有率，因為它們以其強度和耐腐蝕性而聞名。此外，這些木桶結構緊湊、重量輕，有利於運輸和裝卸。混凝土桶預計也將佔據很大的市場佔有率，因為它們具有屏蔽特性，可提供有效的輻射防護。此外，這些木桶堅固耐用，可以承受各種環境條件。

根據應用，市場可大致分為兩種應用：大型核電廠和小型核電廠。大型核電廠預計將佔據主要市場佔有率，因為其高功率輸出和較長的運作壽命會產生大量的SNF。

另一方面，小型核電廠由於其較低的發電量和較少的 SNF 發電量預計將獲得顯著的市場佔有率。然而，小型核電廠的普及率不斷提高以及商業核電廠的採用率不斷提高，將進一步增加乾式儲存鑄鐵在該領域的採用。

為了更深入瞭解乾儲桶產業市場介紹，市場分為北美（美國、加拿大、北美其他地區）、歐洲（德國、英國、法國、西班牙、烏克蘭、俄羅斯、歐洲其他地區），亞太地區。分佈（中國、日本、印度、韓國、亞太地區其他地區）及世界其他國家進行分析。預計歐洲在預測期內將出現顯著的成長。由於政府對再生資源和清潔能源的承諾不斷增加以及乾桶的採用不斷增加，預計亞太地區太陽能瓦市場將呈現顯著成長。此外，中國、日本、印度和韓國等國家正在積極投資和製造新的核電廠，促使乾式儲存桶的採用激增。此外，小型核電廠技術的進步進一步增加了這些發電廠在商業領域的採用，並增加了乾式儲存桶的採用。例如，根據世界核能協會的數據，印度22座核電廠中有20座的發電容量低於630兆瓦。

The adoption of dry storage casks is rapidly increasing owing to an increase in the adoption of small and large nuclear plants for their capability of producing clean energy. As countries invest heavily in these nuclear plants, there are increasing concerns about large quantities of Spent Nuclear Fuels. These spent fuels are radioactive and need three to five years to decay or cool down; after that, these are stored in dry or wet storage casks. This has increased the vast adoption of dry casks as they offer various advantages, including easy transportation, protection from natural calamities, longer storage durations, and less storage space required.

Moreover, increasing nuclear waste regulations and advancements in storage technologies are further increasing the adoption of dry storage casks across the globe. These dry casks come in two types: concrete casks and metal casks.

The rising need and government focus on more clean energy is increasing the adoption of more nuclear power plants. These power plants offer clean energy and produce spent nuclear fuel. Earlier, these fuels were stored in wet casks, which required more storage and were more prone to natural calamities, making it riskier for leakage of radioactive waste. Dry casks overcome these disadvantages of wet storage, leading to more adoption of these cost-effective dry casks.

According to the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as of December 2022, there are currently 422 nuclear reactors operating in 33 countries producing around 10.5 % of the world's electricity. Furthermore, there are 58 units in construction in 18 countries, including China, India, South Korea, Russia, and Turkey.

According to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in 2023, 22 commercial nuclear power reactors at 18 sites in the US are in various stages of the decommissioning process.

Based on product, the spent nuclear fuel is segmented into concrete SNF dry storage casks and metal SNF dry storage casks. Metal SNF is forecast to capture the major market share owing to its well-known strength and corrosion resistance. Moreover, these casks offer compact and lightweight alternatives, adding an advantage in transportation and handling. Concrete casks are also forecasted to hold a significant market share, owing to their shielding properties, thus offering effective radiation protection. Moreover, these casks offer durability and can withstand various environmental conditions.

Based on application, based on the application, the market is divided into two major applications: Large nuclear plants and Small nuclear plants. The large nuclear plant segment is anticipated to capture the major market share owing to their higher power output and longer operational lifetime, thus generating a large quantity of spent nuclear fuels.

On the other hand, Small nuclear plants are forecast to capture the notable market share owing to their lower power output and reduced generation of spent nuclear plants. However, the increasing prevalence of small nuclear plants and increased adoption of commercial nuclear plants will further increase the adoption of dry storage casts in this segment.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the dry storage cask industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Ukraine, Russia, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. Europe is expected to experience a significant growth rate in the projected period. The Asia Pacific Solar Shingles market is estimated to witness notable growth owing to rising government initiatives towards renewable sources and clean energy, thus increasing the adoption of dry casks. Furthermore, countries like China, Japan, India, and South Korea have been actively investing and manufacturing new nuclear power plants, leading to a surge in the adoption of dry storage casks. Moreover, the advancements in the small nuclear plant technology are further increasing the adoption of these plants in commercial sector thus increasing the adoption of dry storage casks. For instance, according to the World Nuclear Association, out of 22 nuclear power plants in India, there are 20 nuclear plants below the electric capacity of 630 MWe.

Some of the major players operating in the market include Orange SA, GNS Gesellschaft fur Nuklear-Service mbH, Hitachi Zosen Corporation, SKODA JS a.s., Holtec International, NAC International, OCL Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, EnergySolutions, and British Nuclear Fuels Plc.
