MOSCOW, April 28 Russia in 2023 occupied a third of the world uranium export market, follows from calculations based on data national statistical services and the UN Comtrade platform.
Countries supplied $9.1 billion worth of enriched uranium to world markets last year, which is 31 percent more than a year earlier (then supplies amounted to only $6.9 billion).
Russia remained the largest exporter, increasing supplies by 31 percent to at least $2.7 billion. At the same time, in absolute terms, the volumes remained approximately the same — 1.9 thousand tons. In monetary terms, the country occupied about 29 percent of the world market, and in physical terms — 32 percent.
France is in second place, increasing supplies by 49 percent — to $1.85 billion. Britain closes the top three with exports of at least $1.6 billion compared to $1.2 billion a year earlier.
The Netherlands, which at the end of 2022 was the second largest player in the market, dropped to fourth place — the country was unable to increase supplies by analogy with other countries, they remained at the level of the year before last at $1.2 billion. Germany came in fifth, increasing exports by 25 percent to $1.2 billion. 
Among all suppliers of enriched uranium, China has increased its supplies the most — almost seven times, to $445 million. This happened thanks to the start of exports to the United States — last year they sold 175 tons of enriched uranium there for $315 million, and supplies to Kazakhstan also doubled, to 193 tons of enriched uranium, for $130 million.
In addition, about small export volumes were reported by the United States ($66 million), Kazakhstan ($20 million) and Sweden ($14 million).
