Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market To Hit Value .4 Billion By 2027

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on February 1st, 2021

The global ultraviolet disinfection equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 9.4 billion by 2027 registering a CAGR of 19.0%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising investments related to the expansion and up-gradation of various wastewater treatment facilities are expected to boost the product demand over the coming years.

The ongoing pandemic and consequent protocols that have been purposed to address public health and safety concerns have led to a rise in demand for disinfectant chemicals. Companies across the globe are ramping up their production to facilitate the sudden spike in demand from healthcare organizations, food retail, municipal departments and households alike. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Ultraviolet (UV) equipment is simple to install and requires low maintenance, supervision, or space. In addition, the equipment also provides improved safety, low operation costs, minimum service time, and no chemical residues or unpleasant aftertaste. Furthermore, it is relatively insensitive to pH and temperature differences compared, which is likely to drive the product demand.

The annual operating costs for these devices highly depend on the maintenance and replacement costs of sleeves, lamps, ballasts, and other staffing requirements. The product prices have decreased over the past few years on account of the improvement in lamp and system designs, which has increased the competition among manufacturers.

A large number of pharmaceutical companies depend on UV equipment for water disinfection as the water used in healthcare and pharmaceutical products must be free of chemicals like ozone, pathogens, and chlorine. In addition, it is used in the cosmetics industry due to the high demand for clean water, which does not contain toxins and microorganisms, to ensure increased product shelf life.

Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market Report Highlights

  • Mercury-based UV lamps are anticipated to account for the highest market share by 2027 as they are exclusively used in wastewater treatment plants and drinking water applications
  • The municipal sector is projected to be the largest end-use segment from 2020 to 2027 as the product is eco-friendly, requires low contact time, and does not affect the oxygen levels
  • The water & wastewater treatment plants is expected to witness maximum product demand over the forecast period as it does not leave any chemical residues and has a low carbon footprint
  • The UV disinfection equipment market in the U.S. is expected to witness a CAGR of 18.5% owing to the inclusion of UV treatment technologies as emerging, which is expected to create opportunities for product manufacturers over the forecast period
  • Key players in the market are focusing on regional expansion, acquisition, and product innovation to gain competitive advantage and develop a strong foothold in the industry

The global ultraviolet disinfection equipment market size was valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0% from 2020 to 2027. The rising investments for the expansion of wastewater facilities coupled with the rising prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. In addition, increasing the use of reclaimed water in landscape irrigation, car washing, and urinals has led to the demand for disinfection technologies, which is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved ultraviolet (UV) disinfection for small and medium-sized public water systems on account of the increasing demand. Furthermore, EPA is also considering including the conventional UV treatment technologies, such as medium-pressure UV, UV oxidation, and pulsed UV as “emerging” technologies, which in result will create a wide range of opportunities for product manufacturers in the U.S. over the coming years.

Product manufacturing has increased since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has launched UV Blaster, which is useful for disinfecting high-tech surfaces and areas with a large flow of people, such as airports, hotels, offices, metros, shopping malls, and factories.

Ease of installation and low maintenance, supervision, and space requirements have also led to the growing demand for this technology. In addition, the equipment also provides improved safety, minimum service time, and low sensitivity to pH and temperature variations compared to traditional disinfection technologies, such as chlorination.

UV radiation is not fit for water with high levels of soluble organic matter, suspended solids, or turbidity, as it makes it difficult for radiation to penetrate water. However, rising demand for the UV oxidation process in water & wastewater treatment plants is anticipated to boost the UV disinfection equipment market growth over the forecast period.
