The APAC region is expected to account for 47.2% of the global steam generators market by the end of the forecast period. Countries in the APAC region, including Japan, China, South Korea, India, Taiwan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam, plan to construct nuclear reactors by 2025.

Japan had the highest installed capacity of nuclear power in 2015 at 40.3GW, followed by China (26.8GW) and South Korea (21.7GW). China is expected to be the leading country in the region by 2017, with 43.9GW, followed by Japan with 39GW.

With rising costs of fossil fuel, countries with scarce domestic energy sources are focusing on nuclear power to meet their increasing energy demand. The consistancy, low-cost and minimal environmental impact of nuclear energy are some of the key factors being considered by these countries.
