Global UV Light Disinfection Equipment Market

UV Light Disinfection Equipment Market Overview

The UV Light disinfection equipment market is estimated to reach USD 11.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2030. It was valued at USD 4.8 billion in 2022. Growing demand for ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection equipment in healthcare facilities is expected to impact market growth positively. The rising prevalence of COVID-19 cases coupled with the increasing R&D spending is expected to increase the demand for UV light disinfection equipment over the forecast period.

What is UV Light Disinfection Equipment?

UV (Ultraviolet) light disinfection equipment is the type of instruments and components that make up the UV disinfection system in the group. The collection of this equipment is utilized in the treatments and processing of multiple applications such as water treatment, industrial equipment cleaning, devices cleansing, among others. It is a chemical-free disinfectant procedure involving ultraviolet rays, helping remove unwanted bacteria or infections.

Growth Drivers

The vast use of UV Light disinfection equipment for disinfecting hospitals and medical facilities

According to Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, healthcare-acquired infections are more familiar than most people realize, with 1 in 25 people generating an infection directly related to their hospital stay. HAIs cost billions of dollars to treat the patients and cause almost 100,000 deaths yearly in the U.S. Thus, healthcare organizations and hospital officials notice the practical and cost-saving advantages of using UV light to disinfect hospitals with wall-mounted units or mobile UVC disinfection methods. Moreover, UVC robots are becoming more prevalent in hospitals as they walk from room to room to disinfect patients. They can set Wall-mounted units in restrooms confronted when the door closes automatically. UV disinfection lamps are also used in hospitals’ heating and cooling systems to purify and disinfect the air in hospitals where individuals are more vulnerable to disease. Moreover, with the expected rise in hospitalizations due to the rising geriatric population, UV light disinfection equipment will increase many viruses and bacteria in hospitals and medical facilities.

Opportunities

Growing demand for ultrapure water

Ultrapure water (UPW) describes water that has been purified with stringent specifications and contains only the selected ions (H+ and OH− ions). UPW is primarily used in semiconductor and pharmaceutical enterprises. UV disinfection equipment is used to disinfect water and reduce the total organic carbon (TOC) range. UV-based disinfection systems are selected for UPW because of their advantages, such as efficiency, reliability, and lesser process time. UV light disinfection equipment developed for the pharmaceutical industry stops all crevices and unnecessary fittings, thereby maintaining the integrity of methods. Apart from this, the UV systems in the pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries are also utilized for dichlorination, TOC reduction, deozonation, and treating/reducing toxic and flowing discharges.

Restraints

The lower price of conventional disinfectants compared to UV light disinfection Equipment

Chlorine has been traditionally used for wastewater disinfection. Although chlorine has been extremely rebuked for its health and environmental risks, it is still being utilized in developing nations due to its low cost. A chlorine disinfection plant needs a chemical feed pump, a solution tank, and a holding tank. The general cost of a chlorination system is much less (10–15% less) than that of a UV light disinfection system. As chlorination systems incur a lower cost of installation, they are chosen for small-scale applications, for example, water treatment in the residential segment. Therefore, the lower cost of this substitute is attracting more end users. The effect of this restriction is currently moderate and is expected to subside during the forecast period due to the excellent benefits of UV disinfection systems.

Pre Covid-19 Impact on Global UV Light Disinfection Market

Before the covid-19 outbreak, Rapid industrialization and unstoppable urbanization improved water quality. It has improved the uptake of UV light disinfection equipment for treating wastewater. UV disinfection method for wastewater is slowly replacing chlorine-based disinfection methods. Thus, the demand for cleaner and safer water is expected to create many lucrative opportunities for UV light disinfection technology, thereby propping up the demand for its equipment.

Covid-19 Impact on Global UV Light Disinfection Market

During the covid-19, the ongoing pandemic has shown an increased demand for automated UV-C light-based surface disinfection systems. The demand has been increased, mainly from the healthcare industry and commercial institutions, to prevent coronavirus transmission by avoiding manual cleaning methods. This factor is predicted to drive the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market during the covid-19 period.

Post Covid-19 Impact on Global UV Light Disinfection Market

After the covid-19 outbreak, the demand for ultrapure water is growing considerably. The increase in disposable income and the escalating purchasing power parity of a huge global populace are pushing the market for electronic appliances. As semiconductors are utilized in electronic appliances, these elements bode well for the growth of the UV light disinfection equipment market. The growing prevalence of the virus urged multiple countries to revamp their sanitization standards. Furthermore, the global populace became aware of the threat of the virus and started adopting self-sanitization measures after the pandemic.

By Component Segmental Analysis

Based on components, the global UV light disinfection market is segmented into UV Lamps, Reactor Chambers, Quartz Sleeves, Control Units and others. The UV lamps segment is cast to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The main factor donating to the growth of this segment is the increased adoption of UVC LEDs in UV light disinfection equipment. UVC LEDs deliver the benefits of longer life expectancy and lower power consumption, which has preferred their adoption on a large scale. UV light disinfection equipment used in industrial and municipal applications operates multiple UV lamps in a single system, which is predicted to soon drive the market for UV lamps.

By Application Segmental Analysis

Based on application, the global UV light disinfection market is segmented into Water & Waste Disinfection and Surface Disinfection. The water and wastewater part is expected to record the highest share during the forecast period. The dominance was attributed to the growth in installing UV light disinfection equipment in the residential, commercial, and industrial segments for disinfecting water to make it suited for drinking and other ideals. Similarly, the increasing execution of strict government restrictions about the safe and environmentally friendly treatment of water and wastewater also sustains the growth of the UV light disinfection equipment market.

By End-User Segmental Analysis

Based on end-user, the global UV light disinfection market is segmented into Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Municipal. The municipal segment is predicted to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising worries about wastewater recycling and increasing restrictions for clean and safe water worldwide are likely to drive the market’s growth during the forecast period. Also, municipal companies are moving toward UV-treated water to satisfy the demand for drinking water in areas with dense populations as it does not have any chemical residues.

By Regional Segmental Analysis

The global UV light disinfection market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and The Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific maintained the largest share of the market in 2021, and this movement is anticipated to continue during the forecast period.
