Core Viewpoint - The development of nuclear power in China is primarily focused on the application of third-generation nuclear technology, which enhances safety through passive safety concepts and upgrades in structure, materials, and manufacturing precision, leading to reduced maintenance costs and extended maintenance cycles [1][16]. Overview - Nuclear pumps are specialized equipment used in nuclear power plants to transport coolant and media under extreme conditions, ensuring nuclear safety and system circulation. They must withstand high temperatures, pressures, radiation, and corrosion, with capabilities for zero or low leakage and long-term stable operation [2][3]. Industry Barriers - The nuclear pump industry has high entry barriers due to the need for advanced technology and manufacturing precision, requiring strong R&D capabilities and long-term investment. New entrants face challenges in meeting industry standards quickly, creating significant technical barriers [9][10]. Industry Chain - The upstream of the nuclear pump industry includes suppliers of nuclear-grade materials and components, while the midstream involves R&D, design, manufacturing, and testing. The downstream market primarily targets nuclear power plants [11][12]. Current Development - As of November 2025, China's nuclear power installed capacity is projected to reach 62.48 million kilowatts, with a continuous increase in demand for nuclear pumps driven by new installations and maintenance needs of existing plants [13][14]. Competitive Landscape - The nuclear pump industry has high entry barriers, with only four companies qualified to design and manufacture nuclear main pumps. Competition is more intense for secondary and tertiary pumps, with several companies dominating the market [15][17]. Industry Trends - The nuclear pump sector is expected to evolve towards high-end, intelligent upgrades, focusing on performance and safety improvements. The industry will also see a shift towards domestic production to break the monopoly of foreign suppliers, enhancing the competitiveness of domestic products [20][21][22]. - The industry is transitioning from equipment manufacturing to a full lifecycle service model, integrating R&D, production, operation, and maintenance to provide comprehensive solutions for nuclear power operators [23].
