Uranium demand to outpace supply

TORONTO – TheNewswire - May 8, 2025 - Global uranium prices are increasingly disconnected from rising supply-demand imbalances, according to a new report. The Oregon Group forecasts that, despite recent fluctuations in uranium prices, the longer the disconnect between prices and demand, the greater the pressure for price growth beyond the levels we saw in 2024.

The report identifies several key factors influencing the uranium market, including the continued rise in new and restart nuclear reactors, demands from data centers to power Artifical Intelligence, advances in small modular reactor (SMR) technology, and the growing demand for clean, reliable energy sources. This follows years of underinvestment in uranium production, geopolitical tensions disrupting supply chains, and dwindling stockpiles.

“The uranium sector is currently experiencing one of the largest disconnects between market sentiment and supply fundamentals we’ve ever seen,” said Anthony Milewski, founder of The Oregon Group. “While uranium equities have seen pullbacks in recent months, long-term supply constraints are building, positioning uranium as a critical asset for investors.”

While the price of uranium saw an increase from 2022 to 2024, market conditions indicate that the current supply gap will persist for years, creating significant upside potential for uranium producers and developers.

Notably, major uranium players like Kazakhstan’s Kazatomprom (LSE: KAP) and Canada’s Cameco (TSX: CCO) are positioned to capitalize on higher prices as they are among the few with significant production capacity. However, the majority (if not, all) of Kazatomprom’s supply is expected to go to China and Russia. At the same time, advanced development projects, including NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) and Denison Mines (TSX: DML), are poised for growth but face delays that will prevent them from contributing to the immediate supply needs.

Uranium’s critical role in the global energy transition is also underscored by its importance to AI data centers, which are projected to double electricity consumption by 2030. The report highlights that nuclear energy’s ability to meet growing electricity demands, particularly from AI-driven applications, will place further pressure on uranium supply.

One uranium executive noted, “The coming supply gap is inevitable, and the market is preparing for a price response that reflects the growing urgency. Our team is focused on advancing our projects across secure jurisdictions, to ensure that we can meet this demand as quickly as possible. While we’re still in the development phase, our assets are well-positioned to play a significant role as the market tightens in the coming years.”

“We’re facing a major supply crunch in uranium. Even with higher prices, new projects will take years to bring online,” said Milewski. “This creates a unique opportunity for investors to position themselves ahead of the coming supply-demand imbalance.”

For investors looking to tap into this opportunity, uranium-related ETFs and physical uranium trusts, such as the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE: URNM) and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN), offer a broad exposure to the market. Additionally, companies positioned for near-term production, like IsoEnergy (TSX: ISO), are attractive options for those seeking direct exposure to the uranium supply chain.
