Current Supply and Demand Dynamics in Uranium

The uranium market is currently characterized by an imbalance between supply and demand, with a projected shortfall of approximately 30 to 35 million pounds this year. Over the next few years, around 20 reactors are expected to connect to the grid, primarily in China, while most uranium producers are sold out of their available supplies. This ongoing supply deficit is anticipated to persist until the early 2030s when new projects like NextGen's Rook One and Denison's Phoenix come online. However, even with these new projects ramping up, analysts expect an acceleration of uranium demand, coupled with significant declines in production from existing mines, posing a serious challenge to future supply needs.
