Ultraviolet Disinfection Market

Ultraviolet Disinfection Market Size (2024 - 2029):

The Global Ultraviolet Disinfection Market is predicted to rise from a value of USD 4.83 billion in the year 2023 to reach a revised size of USD 9.91 billion by the end of the year 2029, and it is likely to raise at a CAGR of 15.48% from the year 2024 - 2029.

Market Trends:

Currently, the market is witnessing a trend involving the combined use of UV and ozone disinfectants. This trend has been adopted against some water-borne gastrointestinal disorders. Microbes belonging to the Cryptosporidium species are resistant to chlorine; However, they can be effectively filtered and disinfected by UV disinfection. This will drive the development of advanced disinfection techniques and equipment, such as UV disinfection. UV LED, which first entered the market in 2012, is gaining popularity due to its compact size and high energy efficiency. The ease of installation and the low maintenance, supervision, and space requirements have also led to the increasing call for this technology. In addition, the equipment also offers improved safety, minimal shelf life, and low sensitivity to changes in pH and temperature compared to traditional disinfection technologies such as chlorination.

Market Drivers:

Raising awareness among consumers, businesses, and governments of a variety of health hazards of conventional chemical disinfectants is the main driver of the call for UV disinfectants in the market. When chlorine-based disinfectants require nearly 20 minutes to effectively treat the water tank, UV disinfection equipment does the same job in less than 10 seconds, using UVC lamps. In addition to extremely fast action, low maintenance, easy installation, and low operating costs are predicted to be the main factors behind the growing adoption of UV disinfection around the world. These devices are also preferable due to their residue-free and environmentally friendly operation. A wide range of applications in air disinfection and wastewater disinfection is supposed to increase the call for UV disinfection equipment.

Market Restraints:

However, the higher initial investment costs of UV disinfection equipment are believed to hamper market expansion.

Market Opportunities:

The explosive expansion of the chemical and healthcare industries is supposed to provide strong expansion opportunities for the global UV disinfection market during the foreseen period. The call for ultraviolet disinfection equipment is escalating all over the world, due to its advantages, including the natural purification method, through the disinfection procedure, no toxic product is formed, low cost of operation, low maintenance, and easy installation of the main factors. It is predicted to drive worldwide market expansion during the outlook period. Additionally, the growing call for safe and clean drinking water, due to population expansion and declining freshwater resources, is another factor that is estimated to drive the worldwide market during the projection period. Furthermore, escalating industrialization activities in countries such as China, India, and Japan led to water and air pollution which, in turn, would stimulate this market expansion during the forecast period.

Market Challenges:

However, the presence of other cheap disinfection systems is a factor that is likely to hamper the expansion of the market to some extent.

Market Recent Developments:

• Ibis Medical Equipment and Systems Pvt Ltd based in Kochi has introduced a developed UltraViolet (UV-C) disinfection system for quick, chemical-free sterilization in areas with a high risk of infection, significant to hold the spread of Covid-19.
• Borosil launched its Borosil Suraksha, a UV disinfection product that claims to kill 99.9% of germs and other pathogens on the surfaces of goods and groceries that have daily usage.
