The forecast for RD&D in Nuclear Energy in Japan shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 905.74 million USD PPP in 2024 and projected to decrease to 607.63 million USD PPP by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 8.35% from 2024 to 2025, 9% from 2025 to 2026, 9.8% from 2026 to 2027, and 10.8% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is negative, indicating a continuing trend of reduced investment in nuclear research, development, and demonstration activities.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of policy changes, technological breakthroughs, and global shifts towards renewable energy sources on Japan's nuclear strategy. Additionally, public perception and safety considerations may further influence investment levels and project developments in the nuclear sector.
