Global Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps, exploit UVC light to get the rapid sterilization of bacteria, molds, fungi, viruses and microorganisms both in air and in water. In this category of lamps about 40% of electricity is converted directly into UVC radiation with monochromatic emission at 254 nm for germicidal applications and at 185 nm for the oxidation of surfaces.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps market finds that the global Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps market reached a value of USD 181.41 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 202.05 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 1.81% during the forecast period.

COVID-19’s Impact on Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps

The COVID-19 pandemic is already creating many challenges for manufacturers, especially those who rely on workers who cannot do their jobs remotely. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), approximately 80 percent of manufacturers expect the pandemic to have a financial impact on their business.

Some major industrial companies have already closed plants and are considering the scope of layoffs to help contain the spread of the virus, as well as for economic reasons. It is clear that the manufacturing sector will be hit hard during this outbreak for two main reasons: first, many manufacturing jobs are performed on site and cannot be performed remotely. Second, the slowdown in economic activity has already reduced global demand for industrial products.

Maintaining the health of consumers and employees is a top priority for businesses and governments alike. For manufacturers in hard-hit regions, prolonged plant closures (full or partial) may be necessary. For companies vulnerable to virus outbreaks, this is a critical time to explore the proactive deployment of automation technologies to reduce worker density throughout operations. The COVID19 pandemic has caused people to panic hoard all kinds of supplies, especially products which have disinfecting effects. Due to Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps' excellent physical properties, the market demand for Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps would rise.

The International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) believes, based on current disinfection data and empirical evidence, that UV disinfection can play a role in a multi-barrier approach to reduce the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2. UV is a known air, water, and surface disinfectant that, when applied correctly, can help mitigate the risk of infection upon contact with the COVID-19 virus.

Market Constraints and Challenges

The U.N. Minamata Convention on Mercury was referring to a 2013 global agreement intent on protecting human health and the environment from mercury emissions. The Minamata Convention entered into force in 2017, and has been ratified by 116 countries. The 2020 deadline references the date after which the manufacture, import and export of mercury-added products outlined by the agreement are no longer allowed. However, in spite of this strong statement, this is not a blanket ban, there are quite a few exemptions to this rule, including fluorescent lamps, as long as they don’t exceed a certain mercury-content threshold. Nevertheless, the symbolism of the ban is important: not only does the Minamata Convention have regulatory implications, but it also sends a clear message to industry to change its attitude towards mercury-added products, especially for manufacturers intending to export to countries with more stringent mercury regulations. For this reason, companies manufacturing LowPressure UV Mercury Lamps need to be aware of the need to plan for the future as mercury regulations become more stringent.
Although the market for raw materials such as quartz and mercury has matured, prices have shown varying degrees of volatility due to industry chains, trade policies and prices of other essential raw materials, as well as market supply and demand. The high cost of quartz, one of the raw materials, will limit the growth of the Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps market. China is one of the major producers of quartz and the US has imposed tariffs on all quartz materials imported from China on the back of US-China trade frictions. Due to this factor, the price of quartz has increased in several countries, which has restricted the use of quartz. If Low-Pressure UV Mercury Lamps manufacturers do not have sufficient raw material autonomy, i.e., all required quartz and mercury are sourced externally, the Company's raw material purchase prices will also have a degree of uncertainty, and fluctuations in purchasing costs will affect the Company's profitability. In contrast, integrated production companies can achieve control over upstream raw materials and have more stable operations.
