Report analyzes global nuclear main steam, feed water isolation valves market

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 1, 2010 -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Global Nuclear Main Steam and Feed Water Isolation Valves Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020" to their offering.

Global Nuclear Main Steam and Feed Water Isolation Valves Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020 provides comprehensive information on the market size of the main steam and feed water isolation valves used in the nuclear power generation facilities, both at a regional and global level. The major isolation valve types that are included in the study are those used in pressurized water reactors, pressurized heavy water reactors, light water graphite reactors, gas cooled reactors, fast breeder reactors and the boiling water reactors. Main steam isolation valves remain fully open during normal plant operation. However, in the event of a main steam line break or loss of coolant accident, the main steam isolation valves close to isolate the containment building and prevent the release of large amounts of radiation into the atmosphere. These isolation valves play a significant role in safe operation of nuclear power plant and the economical and competitive production of electric power.

Nuclear Industry Expansion enhances the Growth of the Main Steam and Feed Water Isolation Valves Market
Demand from new and existing nuclear power stations is set to drive the feed water heater market. There are 57 new nuclear reactors that are in the under construction phase across the globe and that are expected to come online during the period 2010-2020, which indicates a growth in demand for nuclear main steam and feed water isolation valves worldwide. There will also be demand for these valves in the replacement market as many of the existing reactors will require replacement once they complete 25-30 years of operational life. In the long term, most of the demand for the main steam and feed water isolation valves will be primarily due to new reactors in nuclear power producing countries as well as the potential nuclear industry development in emerging nuclear countries.

Europe and Asia Pacific Regions are the major markets for the Main Steam and Feed Water Isolation Valves Industry
The European and Asia Pacific regions are expected to show strong demand for nuclear main steam and feed water isolation valves during the forecast period 2010-2020. Europe is a key market for the isolation valves industry as many of the existing reactors as well as new reactors will require main steam and feed water isolation valve replacement. During the forecast period 2010-2020, the European region is expected to show the highest demand, with 1,143 main steam and feed water isolation valve units followed by the Asia Pacific region with 629 units and the North American region with 315 units. The increased demand from these regions will result in the sustained growth of the nuclear isolation valves market.
