UV Disinfection Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The global uv disinfection equipment market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.57 billion in 2023 to $5.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. During the historical period, growth can be attributed to heightened awareness of infections, increased adoption within the healthcare sector, adherence to regulatory standards, requirements in water and wastewater treatment, and the needs specific to the food and beverage industry.

The global uv disinfection equipment market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming forecast period is linked to factors such as a focus on food safety and advancements in agricultural practices, bolstering resilience against emerging pathogens, expanding applications of UV-C technology, government initiatives and regulatory actions, and the rising use of remote and off-grid applications. Major trends expected during this period involve the integration of UV disinfection with smart technologies, the development of portable and mobile UV solutions, advancements in UV-C LED technology, collaborations with robotics for enhanced efficiency, and the application of UV technology for air purification within HVAC systems.

The surge in water pollution and declining water quality is anticipated to drive the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market. Water pollution involves the release of substances into various water sources, adversely impacting their beneficial use. Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 253.7 nanometers has proven effective in disinfecting bacteria, viruses, molds, algae, and other microorganisms that proliferate in water. A United Nations Environment Programme global report in March highlighted that over 3 billion people worldwide face disease risks due to unknown water quality in their rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Additionally, a September 2023 report from the World Health Organization revealed that, in 2022, over 1.7 billion individuals relied on drinking water contaminated with fecal matter. The escalating water pollution and deteriorating water quality are thus key drivers of the UV disinfection equipment market.

The growing incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is set to propel the UV disinfection equipment market's expansion. HAIs, acquired during healthcare treatment, pose a significant challenge in healthcare facilities. UV disinfection equipment plays a crucial role in mitigating these infections by eliminating pathogens on surfaces and in the air, enhancing the safety of healthcare environments. A 2021 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted a 7% overall increase in HAIs, including a 12% rise in Ventilator-Associated Events (VAE) and a 5% increase in Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) between 2020 and 2021 in the USA. The escalating cases of hospital-acquired infections underscore the demand for UV disinfection equipment in the market.

Key players in the UV disinfection equipment market are introducing innovative products leveraging advanced technologies such as UV-C LED technology. UV-C LED technology involves the use of light-emitting diodes emitting ultraviolet C (UV-C) light. For example, in May 2023, AquiSense Technologies launched PearlAqua Deca 30C, a UV disinfection product utilizing UV-C LED technology. This product ensures over 99.99% pathogen reduction at 4 gallons per minute. Housed in a compact case, it features automatic on/off switching, configurable alarm outputs, and dynamic power control for reduced energy consumption. AquiSense's next-generation design platform integrates advanced UV-C LED devices, sophisticated electronics, an integrated UV Intensity Sensor, and increased assembly automation, showcasing the company's commitment to cutting-edge solutions in the UV disinfection equipment market.

Leading companies in the UV disinfection equipment market are introducing cutting-edge robotic systems, particularly robotic disinfection systems, to offer intelligent and efficient disinfection solutions. A robotic disinfection system is an automated technology designed for disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces across various environments. An exemplary case occurred in March 2023 when Tru-D SmartUVC, a US-based company under PDI Healthcare, unveiled the Tru-D iQ system - a groundbreaking robotic disinfection system. The Tru-D iQ system sets itself apart with adaptive connected products, including the Tower, Scout, and Controller, catering to different room sizes for precise UVC disinfection. It employs Sensor360 technology, measuring reflected UVC energy to ensure an accurate dose for effective disinfection of hard surfaces. Engineered to combat various microorganisms, the system incorporates advanced features like Dynamic Dosing and Flux Acceleration, along with an auto-deployed bulb array, contributing to improved cycle times and enhanced performance.

In July 2021, De Nora, an Italy-based company in the Machinery industry, made a strategic acquisition by purchasing Calgon Carbon Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions De Nora to accelerate global initiatives in addressing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and 'forever chemicals' increasingly found in water supplies, complementing its existing Capital Controls ozone AOP solutions. Calgon Carbon Corporation, a US-based company specializing in UV disinfection equipment, brings valuable expertise to De Nora's portfolio in combating waterborne contaminants.
