UV Disinfection System Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The UV disinfection system market is evaluated at US$4.515 billion for the year 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.33% to reach a market size of US$11.530 billion by the year 2027.

A UV disinfection system is a system that uses ultraviolet, rays for the removal of harmful organisms in water, beverages, etc. A UV disinfection system is widely employed for water treatment purposes in industries and large production plants. The highly disinfectant nature of UV rays is increasing the application of UV disinfectant systems in hospitals, labs, hotels, and pharmacies. The increasing rate of water pollution is one of the major factors driving the market growth of global UV disinfection systems. The rising water pollution rate is increasing the demand for UV disinfection systems in the market. The disinfection provided by UV disinfection systems without the presence of chemicals is boosting the demand for UV disinfection systems over conventional chemical disinfection methods like chlorination, etc. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also increased the need for proper disinfection and purification of water and beverages. The support offered by the governments in promoting UV disinfection systems and methods is also giving potential to the market growth of global UV disinfection systems. The introduction of major players like Xylem Inc. and Trojan Technologies in the UV disinfection industry is resulting in the upgradation and new innovations in the global UV disinfection system market. The cost-effectiveness and security offered by UV disinfection systems over conventional disinfection systems are boosting the market growth of UV disinfection systems in the global market. The convenience and greater effectiveness offered by UV disinfection systems are increasing the applications and market of UV disinfection systems in industries and manufacturing plants. The wide use of water treatment methods in industries, hospitals, and pharmaceutical plants is also fuelling the market growth of the global UV disinfection system market.

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has a positive impact on the growth of the global UV disinfection system market. The pandemic increased the need for proper hygiene and disinfection procedures. The increased awareness of people about good hygiene and health has boosted the market for UV disinfectants during the COVID period. Amid the pandemic, hospitals and health clinics showed high demand and need for effective UV disinfectant systems. The mini-UV disinfectant systems introduced into the market also increased the demand for UV disinfectant systems for household and domestic purposes. The effectiveness provided by the UV disinfectant system in removing or killing viruses hiked the market demand for UV disinfectant systems in the global market during the COVID period.

The increasing rate of water pollution

The increasing rate of water pollution is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global UV disinfectant market. The reports of WHO (World Health Organisation) state that most pollution or harmful microorganisms reach the human body through the medium of water. Proper purification and disinfection of water can reduce the number of problems and diseases caused by water pollution and unhygienic water. The waste and sewage water from industries and large production plants are increasing the rate of pollution in the bodies of water, making them unusable for domestic and other needs. The increasing rate of water pollution in the world is also fuelling the market growth and demand for UV disinfection systems in the global market. Hospitals and clinics are widely using the assistance of UV disinfection systems to ensure water hygiene and safety in hospitals and clinics. Ease of installation, lower capital costs, convenience, and effectiveness are increasing the market demand for UV disinfection systems in the global market. According to the reports of the WHO, about 1.8 billion people are facing the consequences of unhygienic water sources and pure water unavailability. The WHO also states that about 502,000 diarrhea deaths are reported around the globe annually. The awareness spread by various organizations and governments is raising the need for proper water purification and disinfection systems in hospitals, homes, and industrial purposes, which is contributing to the growth of the global UV disinfection system market.

Increasing Health Literacy and the Global Impact of COVID

Increased health literacy and the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market for global UV disinfectant systems. The IUVA (International Ultraviolet Association) states that UV disinfection systems are capable of preventing and killing the COVID-19 virus. The effectiveness offered by UV disinfectant systems in preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus has pushed the market for UV disinfectant systems to new heights. The support offered by governments in promoting UV disinfectant systems has also boosted the market demand for UV disinfectant systems in the global market. The approval of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the U.S.) to employ UV disinfectant systems for water purification and water treatments has increased the popularity of UV disinfectant systems in the U.S. The rising health literacy of people is also surging the market for the global UV disinfectant system market.

Significant growth is expected in the Asia-Pacific region

Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to showcase drastic growth in the global U.V disinfectant systems market. The presence of low-quality water and rising cases of diseases due to unhygienic water are giving potential to the market growth of U.V disinfectant systems in the Asia Pacific region. The support of the government in introducing water treatment policies and systems is the major factor driving the market growth of UV disinfectant systems in the region.
