Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Equipment Market to grow by USD 851.2 Million from 2024-2028

The Global Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Equipment Market  size is estimated to grow by USD 851.2 million from 2024-2028, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 4.97%  during the forecast period. Evolving benefits of UV disinfection equipment is driving market growth, with a trend towards growing demand for ultrapure water.

Ultrapure water is a high-purity water essential in various industries for applications where water needs to be as close to pure H2O as possible. Ultrapure water is produced using a combination of water purification technologies such as reverse osmosis and has an electric resistivity ratio of 0.1-1.5 M ohm cm. This water is primarily used in the pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries for producing semiconductor chips and integrated circuits, plasma displays, and cleaning semiconductor liquid crystal panels and wafers. In power generation, ultrapure water is used in steam generators to ensure stable power plant operation. In the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, it is used as injection water. Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment plays a crucial role in producing ultrapure water by reducing Total Organic Carbon (TOC), disinfecting microorganisms, reducing chlorine and chloramines, and destroying ozone. With the increasing demand for ultrapure water in various industries, the global UV disinfection equipment market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

The UV disinfection equipment market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for effective and eco-friendly disinfection solutions. UV lamp technology, using UV lamps and UV light, is at the forefront of this trend, offering efficient sterilization processes for various applications. UV robots are gaining popularity in wastewater treatment and water purification, addressing water pollution and water scarcity concerns. In the air disinfection sector, UV-C LED technology and UVC LEDs are replacing traditional UV lamps, providing energy efficiency and longer lifespan. With the ongoing pandemic, UV technology is increasingly being used for disinfecting surfaces and reducing disease transmission. The automotive sector is also adopting UV technology to disinfect interiors and reduce the need for alcohol-based hand sanitizers. UV sterilization processes are also becoming a viable alternative to chemical disinfection methods like chlorination and chlorine gas, offering a safer and more sustainable solution for viruses and bacteria in wastewater treatment.
