Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (UV Lamps, Quartz Sleeves and Other Components), Application (Surface Disinfection, Water & Wastewater and Other Applications), End User (Commercial, Residential & Other End User) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market is accounted for $2.08 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $5.38 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.1% during the forecast period. Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipments are the equipments that use short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and destructing their DNA, leaving them not capable to perform essential cellular functions. It is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification. UV disinfection equipment is an established technique, and several organizations such as WHO and CDC have constantly promoted its usage in labs, hospitals, operating rooms, and colleges which is driving the growth of the market.
According to the WHO, around 1.8 billion people around the world rely on drinking-water sources contaminated with feces. Such extreme circumstances drive the need for Ultraviolet disinfection equipment, considering the economic factor associated with developing countries and effective solutions offered by UV disinfection systems.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Extensive use of UV disinfection equipments in healthcare facilities
Good hygiene is crucial for the prevention of infections and pathogen transmission in the hospital. With more older, multimorbid patients and shorter hospital stays, more invasive methods in diagnostics and therapy, and more medical devices, the risk of infections has increase, cleaning and disinfection of surfaces in the hospital is becoming increasingly important in the multi-barrier approach for preventing infection, in addition to hand hygiene and proper reprocessing of medical devices. The usage of UV light disinfection equipments in these conditions is highly economical, effective and is also healthy to patients as well as the people surrounding. Hence all the above factors are prospering the market growth.
Restraint:
Expansion of UV disinfection equipment manufacturing facilities in short time
Many prominent players have boosted up the production of UV disinfection equipments and associated components to cater to the increasing demand for municipal, residential, industrial and commercial end users. To avoid the shortage and meet the rising demand for UV disinfection equipment and their components, the manufacturers need to extend the production facilities in less time which needs high investment of money and manpower, which is hindering the market growth.
Opportunity:
Increasing demand for healthy and hygiene environmental conditions
The growing population has led to an increase in the environmental pollution, water wastage and many other contagious diseases which are transmitted through either water, air etc. The commercial sector is currently the leading end user of disinfection equipment. Shops, hotels, cafes, supermarkets, offices, and other commercial spaces were potentially the worst hit during the pandemic crisis. They are almost mandatorily spending in UV disinfections to ensure they take proper care for safety of their staffs and customers. Therefore, there has been a substantial growth in the UV disinfectant equipments market.
`
Threat:
Low cost of the conventional disinfectants compared to UV disinfectants
Most of the conventional disinfectants are cost effective compared to the UV disinfectants. Chlorine has been one of the mostly used disinfectants for waste water treatment. Even though it has health and environmental hazards, it is still being used in the developing countries due to its low cost. Thus the low cost of these procedures are attracting the people to adapt to such kind of disinfection which hampers the UV disinfection equipments market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has led to increase in demand for automated UV-C light-based surface disinfection systems. The demand has been raised especially from healthcare industry and commercial institutions to stop the transmission of corona virus by avoiding the manual cleaning practices. This factor is expected to drive the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market during the forecast period. Several hospitals have begun implementing UV systems to disinfect high-risk indoor settings, which is projected to increase product demand. UV disinfection systems have a lower environmental effect than sodium hypochlorite and chlorine gas since UV is largely controlled by the composition of the electrical grid.
The water & wastewater segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The water & wastewater segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to rapid industrialization and unstoppable urbanization have collectively resulted in the need for better quality of water. This has definitely increased the uptake of UV disinfection equipment for treating wastewater. Its benefits of reducing potential diseases, minimal odour emission, low maintenance and its low cost are propelling the market growth.
The municipal segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The municipal segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its major utilization of the ultraviolet disinfection equipments due to their ability to kill the microorganism by damaging its cellular functions so that they cannot grow, It is effective against various viruses, bacteria, protozoa etc. Moreover the ultraviolet equipment installed in municipal applications must have undergone third party testing in order to prove its performance which keeps the environment clean and makes the location habitable which is necessary and also boosts the market growth.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to major concerns among the general public regarding the general hygiene of food and water, as regulations were impacted by major global organizations, such as the WHO, contributing to the rising demand for ultraviolet disinfection equipment globally. The increasing population also aids the Asia Pacific region to be one of the largest markets, as the region is challenged by the scarcity of safe drinking water and its high-cost aids. The above factors drive the UV disinfection systems market.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the market demand which drives UK economic shift, and sustainability drives smart water solutions, such as sponge city development, dirty water treatment, and utility construction, Moreover to the problems associated with water scarcity, the rising cost of freshwater drives the market for ultraviolet disinfection equipment, as UV systems turn wastewater in their tertiary stage to water that can be used for reuse for secondary purposes, such as gardening encouraging in the market growth.
