Worldwide UV Disinfection Equipment Market 2021-2026: COVID-19 Expected to Boost the Market in the Medium to Long Term.
Saturday, November 13, 2021

DUBLIN, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment market size is expected to register a CAGR of 11.2% over the forecast period, 2021-2026.

Factors, such as increasing awareness on the importance of health literacy in individuals, partly imparted by government bodies, amid the recent global spread of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and other potential pathogens that can be transmitted through water and air, and the degree of containments in drinking water wrenching the health of general consumers in developing countries, drive the growth of the UV disinfection systems market share.

Key Highlights

    --  The primary factor for the growth of, and demand for, Ultraviolet
        disinfection equipment against preexisting water disinfecting methods,
        such as chlorination and ozonation, is that it is an effective
        alternative non-chemical water disinfection system along with additional
        benefits, including capital cost, operating cost, ease of installation,
        ease of maintenance, and less contact time.
    --  Ultraviolet disinfection equipment finds its applications in diverse
        industries, ranging from purification of water in individual homes to
        disinfecting the water supply of an entire city to industrial wastewater
        treatment, as UV water treatment is recognized as a safer and
        cost-effective solution for industrial applications. For instance, water
        treated by UV disinfection ensures quality and extends the shelf-life of
        cosmetics, and hence, UV sterilization has become the preferred choice
        for the cosmetics industry worldwide.
    --  In addition to the performance benefits of Ultraviolet disinfection
        equipment, the occasional maintenance of its components, including UV
        lamp and Quartz Sleeve, to be reviewed every six months can be performed
        without any need of professional assistance. This makes it ideal for
        residential and municipal end-users.
    --  The recent outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to boost the Ultraviolet
        disinfection equipment market share in the medium to long run. For
        instance, the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) believes that
        UV disinfection technologies can reduce the transmission of COVID-19,
        the SARS-CoV-2, by acting as a multiple-barrier. The research in this
        area is likely to drive the market growth in the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Municipal End Users are Expected to Project the Largest Market Share

    --  The containments in drinking water, especially in developing countries,
        such as India and Africa, transmit diseases, such as diarrhea, cholera,
        dysentery, typhoid, and polio, and it is estimated to cause 502,000
        diarrheal deaths each year.
    --  Moreover, 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.
    --  Due 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. For instance,
        the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spent USD 200 million over seven
        years for funding wastewater treatment.
    --  Local government body projects, such as the National Mission for Clean
        Ganga, the Five Year Plan of China Government, and the Chicago River
        project, involve the installation of UV disinfection systems, thereby
        driving the UV disinfection systems market trends.
    --  The industrial water needs and required standards of water quality laid
        down by authoritative local organizations, such as the Food and Drug
        Administration (FDA), drive the UV disinfection system market. For
        instance, to manufacture drug products and drug substances, FDA set a
        standard for the quality and purity of the water to be deployed. Thus,
        companies can leverage UV disinfection systems to achieve the same.

Asia Pacific to Witness Significant Growth

    --  The market studied is segmented geographically by North America, Europe,
        Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The Asia Pacific region is
        expected to be one of the higher growth regions during the forecast
        period.
    --  This outbreak caused major concerns among the general public regarding
        the general hygiene of food and water, as regulations were imparted by
        major global organizations, such as the WHO, contributing to the rising
        demand for Ultraviolet disinfection equipment globally.
    --  The market demand drives China's economic shift, and sustainability
        drives smart water solutions, such as sponge city development, dirty
        water treatment, and utility construction. For instance, in 2019, Xylem
        Inc., a 1000 fortune global water technology provider whose primary
        market is China, experienced double-digit growth in the country.
    --  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 aforementioned factors drive
        the UV disinfection systems market.

Competitive Landscape

Some of the major players dominating the market are Xylem Inc., Trojan Technologies, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Severn Trent Services, and Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation.

    --  April 2021 - Halma PLC announced the acquisition of PeriGen, Inc. to
        create cleaner, safer, and heather solutions for customers. PeriGen,
        Inc. provides software solutions integrated with artificial
        intelligence, which helps in professional healthcare assessment; this
        acquisition will help Halma broaden the market of existing medical
        sector technologies and extend additional analytics and artificial
        intelligence capabilities.
    --  March 2021 - Evoque Water Technologies expands its global presence in
        Chennai, India, due to the increasing growth of the Asia-Pacific market.
        This expansion will allow the company to focus on market development and
        growth plans, using India as a central hub for the broader Asia-Pacific
        market. Evoque already established a technology and engineering center
        in Chennai in November 2019 and will accommodate new 80 employees,
        doubling the presence in India.
