Global UV Disinfection Equipment Market was valued at US$ 3.6 Bn in 2022 and is estimated to reach US$ 12.1 Bn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). According to Global UV Disinfection Equipment Market Report, By Application (Water, Wastewater, Air, Food & Beverages, Surface), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa) as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
UV disinfection system is used to disinfectant the water by eliminating microbial contamination. The UV light of wavelength 253.7 nanometers is used to disinfect the bacteria, algae, molds, and other microorganisms. UV light directly destroy the DNA of the bacteria which stops the multiplication of pathogens and leads to the death of the bacteria. This technology can be used to disinfect the drinking water and surface. In food, & beverage industry UV lights help to achieve high-quality water that meets the standard of U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In pharmaceutical industry this technology helps to obtain chemical-free water such as ozone, chlorine, and pathogen. Moreover, in cosmetic industry it can be used to obtain free of microorganism and other toxins and enhance the shelf-life of the cosmetic products.
Drivers
Rising cases of infections caused by infected water supply
Rising cases of infections caused by infected water supply such as malaria and typhoid around the globe are projected to propel the market growth of ultra-violet (UV) disinfection equipment. According to the World Health Organization, in 2021, there were an estimated 241 million malaria cases and 627,000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2020. This represents about 14 million more cases in 2020 compared to 2019, and 69,000 more deaths.
Market Opportunities
Rising adoption of LEDs
Rising adoption of LEDs to disinfectant the water is expected to offer potential growth opportunities to the market growth of ultra-violet (UV) disinfection equipment. LEDs lamp does not contain mercury, which makes them ideal for disinfecting water and reduce the risk of contaminating the water. Moreover, UV LEDs also lower the rate of energy consumption compared to conventional mercury lamp, which is further expected to propel the market growth of ultra-violet (UV) disinfection during forecast period.
Market Restraints
High cost of installation of the UV disinfection system
The high cost of installation of the UV disinfection system is restricting the adoption of this system and this factor is expected to hinder the market growth of ultra-violet (UV) disinfection equipment. Moreover, the manufacturers are facing challenges in term of designing the application-specific disinfectant equipment, which is further expected to hamper the market growth of ultra-violet (UV) disinfection equipment over the forecast period.
