Based on the new and planned construction of nuclear power plants, there is a uranium deficit. While around 180 million pounds of uranium are needed annually today, it is estimated that 250 to 300 million pounds of uranium will be urgently needed in 2040. A balanced market is not foreseeable in the near future. So how is the industry dealing with this? Well, it always has secondary stocks and inventories to make up the shortfall. But at some point, these stocks will be depleted to such an extent that the only option left is to boost production by raising prices. And this is probably happening right now, as the price of uranium has changed significantly over the past three years and is rising. Plans to reopen closed mines, expand existing mines and build new ones are also on the increase.
Uranium is only available in very high concentrations in a few places. This makes the uranium supply more susceptible to disruptions. With a 44 percent share of global uranium production, Kazakhstan is the largest uranium producer in the world. Canada is also significant. Kazatomprom from Kazakhstan has stated that it will probably not achieve its actual goal of increasing production this year. In terms of price, uranium was in a commodity supercycle in the 1970s and 2000s. A price of 135 US dollars per pound of uranium was reached, which then collapsed to 18 US dollars. Today, a pound of uranium costs just under 87 US dollars per pound. A uranium supply overhang has been reduced and energy policy has shifted back towards nuclear power. Uranium companies such as Premier American Uranium or Cosa Resources should therefore have the best prospects for the future.
