UVC Light Meters Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The UVC light meters market was valued at US$277.400 million in 2021.

Ultraviolet light is measured by a sophisticated device called the UVC light meter. It is a device that is capable of accurately (calibrating) determining the quantity of light power that exists within a specific range of electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths. The adoption of cutting-edge semiconductor devices which uses UVC light meters in the fabrication process has increased significantly because of industry 4.0 growth, thereby simultaneously boosting the UVC light meters market growth. The rising new product launches in the field of UVC light meters by the market players are also driving the usage of these meters, which will boost the overall market growth during the forecasted period.

The growing semiconductor industry is accelerating the demand for these devices. 

The demand for improved semiconductors is rising due to the growing demand for quicker, better, and more inexpensive electronic gadgets. The semiconductor fabrication procedure is carried out as part of the production of semiconductors during the die preparation of a wafer. There is an increasing tendency for UVC light meters application in semiconductors production. The rising demand for semiconductors will boost the UVC light meter market growth. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, the global semiconductor sector sales were estimated to have reached USD 43.6 billion in May 2021, up from USD 41.9 billion in April 2021, respectively. Also, per the same source, the global semiconductor market will grow 5.1% from 2022 to hit US$ 680 billion in 2023. As the sales of semiconductors grow, the demand for fabrication will also increase, which will boost the UVC light meters market growth during the forecasted period

The growing usage of UV sterilization is augmenting market growth.

UV sterilization causes DNA damage in cells and successfully renders bacteria inactive, and in this process, UVC light meters are used to quantify the ultraviolet rays. The UVC light meter is also used in the UV curing process, where high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to dry or cure inks, coating, etc. The rising new product launches by the government and market players in UV curing and sterilization will boost market growth. In February 2023, Hoya launched the NX series, its most recent air-cooled LED UV curing system for flexo printing. It has cutting-edge digital features like status indicators and a neuron microchip network system. In September 2020, according to the Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India, NeelBhasmi is a UV-based area sanitization tool that kills various microorganisms, such as coronaviruses. The rising new product development in the UV sterilizers and curator systems will boost the UVC light meter market growth.

The Asia Pacific region remains the dominant market. 

The two main factors propelling the growth of the UVC light meter in the Asia-Pacific are rising applications in semiconductor production and offset printing production. In offset printing, it helps in faster ink drying, printing without limitations, and vibrant color. The rising newspaper production in the region will boost the UVC light meter market growth. According to the Office of Registrar of Newspapers for India, Government of India, more than 70,000 newspaper publications are registered till November 2022. The Asia-Pacific region will continue to rule this market primarily due to its flourishing semiconductor manufacturing sector. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, over 60% of the world's semiconductors, including over 90% of the most advanced ones, are produced in Taiwan. According to PIB reports, in February 2022, the Indian semiconductors market was valued at USD 15 billion in 2020, and it is predicted to be around USD 63 billion by 2026. These developments in semiconductors and offset printing will boost the UVC light meter market growth in the Asia Pacific region during the forecasted period.
