UV Disinfection Market

Global UV Disinfection Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global market size for UV disinfection is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.8% from 2023 to 2028 and be worth USD 6.06 billion by 2028 from USD 2.45 billion in 2023.

UV disinfection is commonly used in hotels, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and other places where harmful living organisms are present. UV disinfection equipment kills or inactivates microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and altering DNA, rendering them unable to conduct essential cellular tasks. As a result, the harmful living organisms in water, food, air, beverages, and wastewater treatment are disinfected using an ultraviolet disinfection technique. It is the most cost-effective, thorough, and secure method currently available on the market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global UV disinfection market:

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, global utilization of technology for disinfection applications has increased. Ongoing R&D operations aimed at improving the performance and effectiveness of these systems are expected to give the market a significant boost. UV disinfection equipment is widely used in healthcare institutions to disinfect the hospital environment. There is an increasing demand for UV disinfection equipment to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, which is one of the significant factors driving the global UV disinfection market growth. COVID-19 had a favorable impact on the market, resulting in more exports of UV disinfection equipment and related components and higher income. As a result, the market's growth trend accelerated significantly in the first half of 2020. This trend is projected to continue in the second half of the year, as demand is expected to rise as the public's awareness of the importance of surface disinfection grows.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Because of Corona, disinfectants are now widely used in society. It has made us realize how something invisible to the naked sight can have such a significant impact on human civilization; as a result, the U.V. The disinfectant market has begun to grow, and it will continue to grow as the globe moves toward a better and safer lifestyle. People have started to work independently, from cleaning their own homes to washing vegetables. Many UV disinfecting products have been introduced to the market, and as a result, people have purchased them for personal use. It has grown mainly due to rising pollution at all levels, from water to air and food to beverages. Increasing concerns about water quality and awareness of the spread of numerous contagious diseases through air and water are expected to boost global market growth. Because most pollution enters the human body through water, the rise will be more significant in water and water-related bodies. As a result, many brands have launched UV disinfecting solutions on the market, making significant growth.

The need for disinfectants has risen due to recycled water from vehicle washes, landscape irrigation, and urinals. It is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. For water-borne gastrointestinal disorders, the market currently uses a combination of UV disinfectants and ozone. UV disinfection equipment is increasing applications, ranging from domestic water purification to city water disinfection to industrial wastewater treatment. Robots with UV lights are used to sanitize clinics. The primary reason for the rise in opportunities and demand for ultraviolet disinfection equipment over other non-chemical water disinfection methods such as chlorination and ozonation is that it is a cost-effective non-chemical water disinfection system with additional benefits such as lower capital and operating costs, ease of installation, maintenance, and contact time.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The growth of the global UV disinfection market is projected to be hampered by issues such as the lower cost of conventional disinfectants compared to UV lights. Developing a manufacturing facility necessitates a significant financial and human resource commitment. Various regions are experiencing a global economic depression due to the epidemic. Due to a lack of financial resources, the expansion of production facilities for UV disinfection equipment and its components is a challenge for UV disinfection equipment and component producers.

REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global UV disinfection market has been segmented and sub-segmented into product type, application, end-user, and region.

Global UV Disinfection Market – By Product Type:

• UV Lamps
  • Mercury
    • Low-pressure
    • Medium-pressure
    • Amalgam
  • Xenon/LED
• Controller Units
• Quartz Sleeves
• Reactor Chambers

The UV lamps segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the global UV disinfection market during the forecast period. This is because UVC LEDs have a longer life span and use less energy, making them attractive for large-scale deployment. In addition, multiple UV lamps are employed in a single system in UV disinfection equipment used in industrial and municipal applications, which is projected to drive the UV lamp market in the near future.

Global UV Disinfection Market – By Application:

• Water & wastewater
• Surfaces

The water and wastewater segment is expected to lead the global UV disinfection market during the forecast period. The expansion in the installation of UV disinfection equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial areas was attributed to the dominance. Furthermore, the development of the UV disinfection market is also aided by the increasing adoption of strict government laws about the safe and ecologically friendly treatment of water and wastewater.

Global UV Disinfection Market – By End-User:

• Residential
• Commercial
• Industrial
• Municipal

Due to the increased technology penetration in water and wastewater treatment plants in developed nations, the municipal segment led the global UV disinfection equipment market in 2021. In addition, consumer awareness of air pollution is growing, and the prevalence of airborne diseases is rising, forcing manufacturers to invest in green technology to reduce pollution levels worldwide.

Global UV Disinfection Market – By Region:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Geographically, the North American UV disinfection market accounted for the largest share of the global UV disinfection market, owing to rising concerns about the environmental and health impacts of disinfection, chemical, and biological contaminants as by-products in wastewater and supply water, which are the key opportunities to drive this market in the future. Furthermore, owing to rising health and environmental concerns about disinfection, rising incidence of chronic diseases and pandemic diseases such as H1N1, and rising demand for UV extensive technology in various end-use industries such as water and wastewater treatment, as well as the food and beverage industry is further estimated to accelerate the UV disinfection market in the North American region during the forecast period. In addition, to avoid the spread of COVID-19, hospitals across North America, particularly in the United States, are now employing automated UV-C light-based surface disinfection systems instead of human cleaning. This aspect is expected to propel the UV disinfection market forward in this region during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific market benefits from people's increased focus on water and food hygiene, a significant worry that has gained traction after the COVID-19 catastrophe. China is expected to make a substantial contribution to the regional market, owing to a favorable macroeconomic environment and a growing focus on adopting smart water solutions, including advanced water treatment. Furthermore, rapid industrialization has resulted in air and water pollution in these developing countries, reducing rainfall and the purity of natural water supplies.
