Global Ozone Generator Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Ozone generator market reached US$ YY million in 2021 and is estimated to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ YY million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Ozone generators, also known as ozone machines, are ozone-producing equipment that produces ozone gas on purpose. They are advertised as safe and effective when sold as air purifiers in populated indoor environments. Ozone is created by dissolving oxygen (O2) molecules into single atoms, bonding to additional oxygen molecules in the air to generate ozone (O3).

Furthermore, Ozone is the most powerful commercially available oxidant and has many uses. It is a strong disinfectant primarily utilized in water treatment in various sectors. Ozone generators are mostly employed in air treatment because the intense oxidation impact of ozone may break down complicated compounds. Corona discharge, which uses electrical power to generate ozone, is the most widely used commercial approach.

The type and capacity of an ozone generator are determined by various factors, including ozone concentration, running time, the type of water treated and ozone dosage. Water treatment and air purification are common ozone generators in many sectors. Ozone generators are also used for purification in the food, beverage and chemical sectors.

In the chemical industry, ozone generators save energy by avoiding chemicals during the bleaching process, lowering the time it takes to complete the operation.

Market Dynamics

Increasing ozone as an effective chlorine alternative boosts ozone generators' market share.

Increasing ozone as an effective chlorine alternative boosts the market share for ozone generators.

Chemical methods such as chlorination were commonly used for water disinfection. However, because these compounds produce hazardous byproducts such as trihalomethanes and others, their use has posed several health and environmental problems.

Chlorine has several drawbacks: Chlorine injection levels are difficult to manage; chlorine produces hazardous byproducts and has a distinct odor and chlorine is more expensive than ozone generators. Furthermore, Non-regulated pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora and Microsporidia have been found in chlorinated water and linked to human sickness. As per U.S. Council on Environmental Quality, 93% of those who drink chlorinated water are at risk of cancer.

On the other hand, adequate volumes of ozone can be injected with proper installation. Furthermore, ozone is considered 3,000 times more effective than chlorine when disinfection. As a result, the use of ozone generators is projected to increase as people become more aware of the benefits of ozone.

In addition, growing restrictions by environmental organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to monitor the maximum permitted level for disinfection byproducts would boost the ozone generators market in the forecast period.

High investment and lack of awareness in developing countries are hurdling the growth of ozone generators

Renting an ozone generator varies from US$550 to US$2000+. However small units, other home stores may offer modular, compact ozone generators for purchase, ranging from around US$90 to US$300. Furthermore, the high energy needs for wastewater treatment processes raise the ozone generators' running expenses. Any industry can benefit from installing ozone generators because it is a one-time expenditure. On the other hand, Ozone generators have substantial operating and maintenance costs.

The system manufacturer influences the price of ozone disinfection systems for municipal water treatment, the plant's location and capacity and the treated water quality. Compared to other disinfection procedures, the expense of ozonation is often considerable. As per the Environmental Protection Agency, ozone disinfection is the least commonly employed method in U.S. The reason behind it is high cost and alternatives at a lower cost.

Ozone therapy can disinfect at a higher level than chlorine or ultraviolet light. However, the initial and ongoing capital and maintenance costs are not comparable to other options. As a result, ozone is only utilized in extreme circumstances where other options are ineffective.

Furthermore, due to the usage of numerous traditional methods for wastewater treatment, such as chlorine and membrane filtration, ozone generators are still a novel concept in several regions such as Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa and South America. The lack of public awareness about using ozone for sanitization and disinfection in the home is a barrier to expanding the ozone generator market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked widespread concern, possibly resulting in a global economic slowdown. Multiple factors influence global economic growth, including the spread of the virus, the intensity of containment measures, supply chain disruptions, financial market tightening, alterations in spending habits, behavioral changes and unpredictable commodity prices. These domestic disruptions are projected to spread worldwide through trade and global value chain linkages, amplifying the microeconomic consequences.

COVID-19 has also had an impact on consumer spending. All non-essential purchases and services have been significantly cut. Ozone generators are used in household appliances, including air purifiers, fruit and vegetable washers, surface disinfectants and laundry detergents. These appliances are comparatively non-essential and slightly pricey.

The global manufacturing industry and the interconnected supply chain systems have been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing conventions and worldwide lockdowns have significantly impacted company operations worldwide. These changes are projected to substantially impact the ozone generator market in the first months of 2020.

However, this equipment is still employed in product processing and water and wastewater treatment in the global municipal and industrial sectors. As a result, the market's recovery is expected to be faster as countries reopen their borders to trade and incomplete projects and installations resume operations.

Segment Analysis

The global ozone generator market can be segmented on the process, technology, application, end-user and region.

Corona discharge generators hold a dominating market position due to their low cost and high quantities of ozone generation

The global ozone generator market is segmented based on technology into corona discharge, ultraviolet radiation, electrolysis and radiochemical. Corona discharge is the fastest-growing segment as the technology can be used for industrial and commercial applications. The advantages of corona discharge technology over other materials are responsible for the expansion. Furthermore, the technology is relatively low-maintenance and cost-effective, boosting the segmental demand in the ozone generator market.

Corona discharge generators offer various advantages. These generators can use oxygen preparation, thereby doubling the ozone output per given volume vs. dry air and creating a more pure form of ozone without creating other harmful or irritating gases if using dry air or oxygen as a feed gas. Furthermore, corona discharge generators require small construction, allowing generators to be installed in virtually any area and can create high quantities of ozone (up to 100 lbs/day), leading to market opportunities for the segment to grow in the ozone generator market.

Geographical Analysis

Tremendously rising population and increased awareness of the benefits and applications of ozone generators are boosting the demand for ozone generators in North America

North America is the world's leading region for ozone generator customers.
