The UV disinfection equipment market has witnessed impressive growth, achieving a substantial revenue of US$ 12 billion in 2024, as reported by Fairfield Market Research. The demand for UV disinfection equipment is set to surge further, with the top market players securing a prominent position in the UV disinfection equipment sector. Projections indicate that the global UV disinfection equipment market will reach an astounding US$ 44 billion by 2031.
UV disinfection equipment has gained significant prominence worldwide, owing to its ability to utilize UV radiation with a narrow wavelength range (between 200 and 300 nanometers) for germicidal purposes. This technology effectively deactivates harmful microbes such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. UV disinfection equipment encompasses a wide range of instruments and components that constitute the UV disinfection system, making it a chemical-free and efficient disinfection method.
UV disinfection equipment finds applications in various sectors, including water treatment, industrial equipment cleaning, and gadget cleansing, among others. Several factors are driving the growth of this market-
While the lower cost of conventional disinfectants such as chlorine has been a historical challenge, the advantages of UV disinfection systems, including their effectiveness and environmental safety, are reducing the impact of this constraint. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of waterborne diseases and the limitations of chlorine in treating certain microorganisms are driving the adoption of UV disinfection equipment.
North America: North America holds a significant share of approximately 23.0% in the global UV disinfection equipment market. Growing concerns regarding environmental and health effects of traditional disinfectants, coupled with advancements in low-cost and environmentally friendly UV disinfection equipment, are driving market growth in this region.
The Chinese market for UV disinfection equipment is poised for substantial growth. With a rapidly increasing CAGR from 2024 to 2031, China has been at the forefront of utilizing cutting-edge technology in its battle against COVID-19. Various Chinese companies have introduced innovative solutions such as disinfectant sprays and contactless deliveries to mitigate the risk of cross-infection. The country's commitment to modern technologies has accelerated the innovation process, allowing them to respond promptly to evolving situations. As a result, China remains a highly attractive and profitable market for disinfection equipment in the East Asian region. Notably, companies like Neolix, a Chinese self-driving vehicle delivery firm, have adapted by making disinfectant spraying mandatory for their delivery vehicles and using self-driving trucks to provide essential services.
Japan has emerged as a prominent hub for UV disinfection equipment. Although it accounted for approximately 6.8% of the global UV disinfection equipment demand in East Asia in 2022, the market in Japan is expected to witness rapid growth. Japanese players in this industry are actively engaged in partnerships and collaborations with various water treatment manufacturers to expand their market presence. For instance, Metawater Co. Ltd has entered into a business agreement with Risui-Kagaku Co., Ltd., a comprehensive water treatment manufacturer, to supply UV treatment equipment utilizing UV-LED technology. This collaborative approach is indicative of Japan's commitment to enhancing its foothold in the UV disinfection equipment market.
Key players in the global UV disinfection equipment market are actively engaged in product innovation, expanding manufacturing capabilities in emerging markets, and forming strategic alliances to strengthen their market presence.
