UV Curing System Market Report 2025

The UV curing system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.61 billion in 2024 to $4.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing focus on electric vehicles (evs), increased adoption of uv curing technology in 3d printing, the increasing focus on light weighting and the increasing demand from the packaging industry.

The UV curing system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global population growth and urbanization and favorable government initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, focus on microwave uv curing technology, focus on hybrid led (light-emitting diode) uv retrofit systems, new product launches and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The UV curing system market is expected to experience growth driven by the increasing awareness of environmental conservation. The heightened awareness of environmental issues has led to a greater adoption of UV curing systems. For instance, as reported by India Today, there is a growing consciousness among individuals about taking action to preserve the environment. A survey conducted by Brainly on climate change and environmental conservation revealed significant findings, including the fact that over half (55%) of students expressed plans to plant more trees in their neighborhoods to commemorate World Environment Day. Additionally, 86% of respondents indicated that their schools encourage tree planting and reducing plastic usage, with 73% of students using online platforms to enhance their understanding of environmental issues. Notably, a majority of students (58%) are actively participating in eco-friendly activities such as tree planting. This increasing awareness of environmental conservation is a driving force behind the growth of the UV curing system market.

The rising prevalence of chronic illnesses is anticipated to drive growth in the ultrasonic technology market during the forecast period. As chronic diseases become more common, the demand for imaging tools increases, as ultrasound technology aids in early disease detection and helps reduce treatment costs. The growing frequency of chronic conditions has led to heightened healthcare needs, resulting in more patient visits, hospital admissions, and surgeries. For instance, in January 2023, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a US-based National Library of Medicine, projected that by 2050, the number of individuals aged 50 and older with at least one chronic illness will surge by 99.5%, rising from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses is expected to significantly propel the growth of the ultrasonic technology market.

Major companies in the UV curing system market are focused on developing innovative UV LED curing systems to enhance energy efficiency, reduce curing times, lower operational costs, and improve adhesion and finish quality. UV LED curing systems utilize ultraviolet (UV) light emitted from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to polymerize or cure inks, coatings, adhesives, and other materials. For instance, in October 2024, Excelitas Technologies, a US-based company specializing in UV curing systems, launched a new generation of Phoseon UV LED curing systems specifically designed for fiber applications. These advanced systems offer enhanced performance and energy efficiency, making them suitable for various industrial processes. The new offerings feature improved optical design and higher output power, which allow for faster curing times and greater flexibility in production. Additionally, the systems are compact and easy to integrate into existing manufacturing setups. Excelitas aims to support the growing demand for UV LED technology in the fiber industry, emphasizing sustainability and operational cost savings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a prominent trend in the UV curing system market, particularly in the field of medical imaging. An example of this trend is the launch of the Hera W10 Elite, a new women’s health ultrasound system by Samsung in February 2023. This innovative system incorporates advanced visualization features, AI-aided tools, and clinical applications specifically tailored for Obstetrics and Gynecology. Among its capabilities are 2D and 3D visualizations of microcirculatory and slow blood, along with an Advanced MV (microvascular)-Flow feature. Additionally, it features a larger organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, enhancing the characterization of diverse ultrasound images. The integration of AI in ultrasound technology showcases a growing trend toward leveraging advanced technologies for improved medical imaging capabilities.

In March 2023, GE Healthcare, a US-based medical technology company, acquired Caption Health for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition intends to leverage Caption Health's AI software expertise in the ultrasound field. By combining GE Healthcare's ultrasound instruments with Caption Health's AI software, the aim is to improve early disease diagnosis and enhance diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging, particularly in ultrasound examinations.

UV curing systems employ high-intensity ultraviolet light in a photochemical process to instantly cure or dry inks, coatings, and adhesives. This process significantly reduces reject rates, enhances production speed, facilitates strong bonding, and improves resistance to scratches and solvents.

Two primary types of UV curing systems include spot cure and flood cure. UV spot cure systems utilize rod lenses and single or multi-pole light guides of varying diameters and lengths for diverse curing options. These systems often utilize high-intensity LEDs instead of traditional metal-halide or mercury-arc lamps. Technologies employed in UV curing systems encompass mercury lamp, microwave lamp, arc lamp, and UV LED, utilizing different pressures such as high pressure, medium pressure, and low pressure. UV curing systems find applications in printing, bonding and assembly, coating and finishing, disinfection, among other purposes. Their usage spans across industries such as aerospace and defense, automotive and transportation, construction and architecture, semiconductor and electronics, medical, and other sectors.
