Scope of the Report

The global Data Center Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,037 million in 2025 to US$ 3,005 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2026 to 2032.

Data Center Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) refer to compact nuclear fission reactor systems designed to provide reliable and continuous power for large-scale data centers and AI computing infrastructure. Compared with traditional large nuclear power plants, SMRs feature smaller power capacities (typically 50–300 MW), modular designs, and factory-based manufacturing, allowing them to be transported and installed more efficiently at deployment sites. In 2025, the global newly installed capacity of Data Center Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) reached approximately 212 MW, with an average construction cost of around USD 5000 per kW. The gross margin for SMR projects typically ranges from 10% to 20%, depending on the reactor technology, EPC contracting model, and project scale.

Global key Data Center Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) players cover GE Vernova, NuScale Power, Holtec International, Kairos Power, Rosatom, etc.
