Enrichment Market Outlook
Uranium Enrichment: An Evolving and Complex Market

Enrichment Market Dynamics

The enrichment market is continually evolving as supply and demand fundamentals shift. The industry is now based entirely on gas centrifuge technology, but the market is adapting to various other changes, including a significant drop in fuel demand after Fukushima, as well as issues such as geopolitical events and trade restrictions. In this environment, UxC's quarterly Enrichment Market Outlook (EMO) reports are invaluable for identifying those forces influencing the enrichment market and analyzing supply, demand, and price trends.

Quarterly Updates

Enrichment plays a crucial role in the nuclear fuel market, and UxC's EMO provides clients with the most up-to-date and in-depth information and analyses. In addition to providing trusted price projections, these quarterly updates offer a complete review of all the latest relevant market and contracting developments along with expert insights into the future market direction.

Please see our product flier in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. A table of contents from a previous report has been provided for your review.

Special Issue Offer

Each quarter, UxC releases a new Enrichment Market Outlook (EMO) that contains detailed up-to-date analysis on the enrichment market. UxC makes available any individual report for sale as a stand alone report. In each EMO, topical essays are devoted to topics such as current market developments, major market events, and long-term market trends.

This quarter's essay, "An Enhanced View of Global SWU Market Competition" analyzes the changing nature of global SWU supply and demand due to the rising level of demand in markets exclusively supplied by Russia and China while other regional markets that are more open to competition reflect either stagnating or retrenching demand. Given these divergent market paths, the essay presents a recent enhancement UxC made to its SWU-PRICE model that provides a higher weighting to price impacts from open market fundamentals.

UxC makes this quarter's EMO available as a special single report order at a rate of US$4,375.00. An online order form has been provided.

Please note that this special offer only covers this quarter's EMO report. It does not include services associated with a full year's subscription as discussed below: such as three additional quarterly reports, the monthly leading price indicator updates, and access to UxC's Subscriber Services website.
