UV LED Market Size & Trends

The UV LED market size was estimated at USD 1.36 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2024 to 2030. The growth of the market is driven by the rising demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly lighting solutions, along with the increasing adoption of UV LEDs in various applications such as disinfection and sterilization.

The growing awareness of the harmful effects of mercury-based UV lamps has accelerated the shift towards UV LED technology, which is mercury-free and offers longer lifespan and lower energy consumption. Additionally, advancements in UV LED technology, resulting in improved performance and cost-effectiveness, have further fueled market growth.

UV LEDs consume significantly less power compared to traditional UV lamps, making them an attractive option for a wide range of applications, including sterilization, medical devices, and water purification. The growing awareness of energy conservation and the need for sustainable technologies further boost the adoption of UV LEDs. For instance, in October 2023, UltraViolet Devices, Inc. (UVDI), a U.S.-based UV disinfection technology producer, announced the global availability of the new UVDI-GO UV LED Surface Sanitizer in healthcare settings. The UVDI-GO has shown over 99.99% effectiveness in deactivating common healthcare-associated microorganisms, from surfaces within 20 seconds. Its rapid action, safe application on surfaces, and portability allow trained healthcare professionals to sanitize surfaces efficiently.

Technological advancements and innovations in UV LED technology are also propelling market growth. Manufacturers are continuously improving the performance, efficiency, and lifespan of UV LEDs, making them more cost-effective and reliable. The development of new materials and improved manufacturing processes has led to the production of UV LEDs with higher power outputs and better thermal management. These advancements enable UV LEDs to be used in more demanding applications, such as industrial curing processes and advanced manufacturing, expanding their market potential. For instance, in May 2023, NICHIA CORPORATION, a Japanese LED manufacturer unveiled a new LED irradiation device for assessing UV sensitivity, including the inactivation of microorganisms. This innovative device is engineered to ensure precise and consistent evaluation of UV sensitivity, factoring in the electrical and thermal properties of the LEDs, the irradiance on the target surface, the distribution of irradiance, exposure duration, beam angle, reflections from adjacent materials, and the sample's temperature.

Furthermore, the increasing regulatory support and stringent government regulations regarding environmental safety are influencing the market positively. Traditional mercury-based UV lamps pose environmental and health hazards due to mercury content. Regulatory bodies worldwide are phasing out these mercury-based lamps, encouraging the adoption of UV LEDs as a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. This regulatory push is creating new opportunities for UV LED manufacturers and driving market expansion. For example,Canada's SOR/2024-109 Regulations Amending the Products Containing Mercury Regulations aim to reduce mercury exposure risks to the environment and human health by prohibiting the manufacturing and import of most mercury-containing products, with exceptions like pest control products. Effective June 19, 2025, the amendments support Canada's National Strategy for Lamps Containing Mercury by gradually phasing out common mercury-containing lamps. New prohibitions on mercury lamps for general lighting are expected to be implemented in the coming years.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of effective sterilization and disinfection technologies, leading to a surge in demand for UV LED-based solutions. UV LEDs are used for sterilizing medical equipment, air, and surfaces, offering a chemical-free method to eliminate pathogens. This has accelerated the development and deployment of UV LED products in healthcare settings, contributing significantly to market growth.
