The global UV disinfection equipment market is expected to reach USD 20.01 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2022 to 2030. The demand for UV disinfection equipment has grown fast in recent years, and it is expected to grow much more throughout the forecast period.

Market Overview:

UV (Ultraviolet) disinfection equipment is the combination of equipment and elements that comprise the UV disinfection process. These items of hardware are used in the administration and processing of a wide range of applications, including water purification, industrial machinery cleaning, and device washing, among others. It is a chemical-free disinfection procedure that uses UV radiation to help remove any undesirable germs or illnesses. The ultraviolet disinfection equipment, driven by the ultraviolet water disinfection technique, uses ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 253 nm to eliminate poisons, biohazardous material, bacteria, algae, mold, and other undesired organic contaminants. The ultraviolet disinfection method affects the DNA of germs, preventing them from reproducing. Each piece of ultraviolet disinfection machinery has its lamp strength that is tailored to its use. For example, the US Department of Human services standardized the UV disinfection system's standard exposure of 16,000 watt-sec/sq. Cm.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

• Rising need for UV disinfection equipment in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic

UV disinfection equipment may kill any live germ in the air, water, or surfaces, preventing disease transmission. When germs and viruses are subjected to germicidal UV light frequencies, they lose their ability to infect. UVC is a type of radiation that has been shown to destroy a variety of infections, including the virus that causes COVID-19. The COVID-19 virus may persist for up to three days on plastic and steel surfaces. The virus cannot be killed by regular cleaning or chemical disinfection. In this high antimicrobial range, UV disinfection equipment employs a very low dosage of UV light and takes much less time to neutralize a pathogen. UV disinfection equipment has now been deployed in schools, clinics, airports, and train stations to destroy coronavirus and minimize its transmission. Hospitals are disinfected using UV-lamp-equipped robots.

Restraints:

• Traditional disinfectants are less expensive than UV disinfection devices

Chlorine has been used to disinfect wastewater. Despite widespread condemnation for its environmental and health hazards, chlorine is nevertheless widely utilized in underdeveloped nations because of its low cost. A chemical injection pump, a solution container, and a storage tank are all required components of a chlorine disinfection facility. A chlorination system has a substantially lower total cost (10–15 percent less) than a UV disinfection system. Because chlorination systems are less expensive to build, they are chosen for simple techniques such as household water treatment. As a result, the cheaper cost of this replacement is appealing to more end users. The influence of this limitation is now minor and is likely to diminish throughout the projection period due to more remarkable performance.

Opportunities:

• An increase in the demand for ultrapure water

Ultrapure water (UPW) is water that has already been filtered to rigorous requirements and contains just the ions required (H+ and OH ions). The electronics and medical sectors are the primary users of UPW. UV disinfection equipment is used to not only purify water but also to lower its total organic carbon (TOC) level. UV-based disinfection systems are chosen for UPW due to advantages such as efficiency, dependability, and reduced operating time. UV disinfection equipment intended for the pharma industry removes all cracks and superfluous fittings, preserving system integrity. In addition, UV systems are employed in the pharmaceutical and electronics sectors to reduce TOC, dichlorination, deozonation, and treat or reduce hazardous and hazardous emissions.

Challenges:

• The vast growth of UV disinfection device production plants

Because UV disinfection gear and components are efficient at neutralizing the coronavirus, demand for them has surged as a result of COVID-19. Furthermore, unlike chemical disinfection, UVC radiations deliver physical disinfection with no lingering effects. To meet the increasing demands from governmental, residential, commercial, and end-users, several UV disinfection equipment market companies have increased the production of UV disinfection equipment and related components. To prevent scarcity and fulfill increased demand for UV disinfection parts and systems, producers must expand their manufacturing facilities in a shorter period of time. The growth of a manufacturing facility necessitates a significant financial and human resource commitment. Various areas are experiencing a global economic downturn as a result of the epidemic.

Segmentation Analysis:

The global UV disinfection equipment market has been segmented based on component, application, end-use industries, and regions.

• The component segment is divided into UV lamps, reactor chambers, quartz sleeves, controller units and others. In 2021, the UV lamps segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 26%. The widespread use of UVC LEDs in UV disinfection equipment is a significant element driving the growth of this industry. UVC LEDs have a higher life expectancy and consume less power, which has promoted their widespread use. Multiple UV lamps are used in a single system in UV disinfection devices used in urban and industrial applications, which is projected to boost the UV lamp market in the near future. UVC LEDs have a longer lifespan and use less energy, making them a preferred choice for a large-scale installation. UV disinfection technology used in urban and industrial applications employs several UV lamps in a single system, which is expected to boost the need for UV light soon.
• The application segment is divided into water and wastewater treatment, air treatment, food & beverage disinfection, and surface disinfection. In 2021, water and wastewater treatment dominated the market, with the largest market share of 31%. The growth in the construction of UV disinfection equipment in the domestic, commercial, and corporate sectors for disinfecting water to make it appropriate for drinking and other uses was ascribed to supremacy. Additionally, the increased adoption of stringent government requirements relating to safe and ecologically friendly water and wastewater treatment is helping the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market.
• The end-user segment is divided into municipal and residential. In 2021, the municipal segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 54%. This rise was due to greater technological penetration in industrialized nations in water and wastewater treatment plants. Numerous municipal wastewater treatment facilities have begun to prefer UV disinfection treatment options over traditional technologies because they are more cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly. The growing consumer awareness of air pollution, along with the increased frequency of airborne illnesses, has compelled producers to engage in green technology to reduce pollution levels throughout the world. As a result, producers are integrating technologies such as UV disinfection, screening, and photocatalytic filtration to eradicate all causes of air pollution while leaving as little of an environmental legacy as possible.

Regional Segmentation Analysis:

The regions analyzed for the market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. North American region emerged as the largest market for the global UV disinfection equipment market, with a 37.3% share of the market revenue in 2021.

• This was because of growing concerns about the environmental and health effects of disinfection, chemical and biological pollutants as byproducts in wastewater and supply water, which are the primary potential to drive this market in the future. Furthermore, the market is being primarily pushed by the development of new UV disinfection equipment that is cheap in cost, more successful, ecologically responsible, simple to use, and residue-free. Furthermore, the rise in pandemic infections such as H1N1, chronic diseases, and an aging population accelerate the market of the UV disinfection market in North America. Because it is ecologically friendly and safe to use, UV technology has nearly superseded chemical treatment as a disinfection approach for drinking water and wastewater treatment. As a result, the UV disinfection equipment market is posing a significant challenge to the region's chemical-based businesses.
