Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market: Current Analysis and Forecast 2021-2027

Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Equipment Market is expected to exceed the market valuation of US$ 11 billion by 2027 by showcasing a CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period (2021-2027). UVC band ultraviolet light (200-280 nm) is also known as ultraviolet germicidal radiation and is widely used for sterilizing equipment and creating sterile environments. Sensitivity of pathogens having different sensitivities to UV exposure from the highest to the lowest sensitivity include bacteria and protozoa > viruses > bacterial spores > Adenovirus (an exception in from all the other viruses) > algae. UVC lights are also used in food and water industry to inactivate microorganisms. UV-C radiations are being used to treat water since the 1900s and has been proven to be a safe and effective disinfection process for drinking water. Even though there is no direct disinfection by product formed, photo nitration can lead to the production of a range of new nitro organics during the treatment of UV that can form halo nitromethanes if the water is subsequently chlorinated. To deliver the maximum effect of germicidal effectiveness to inactivate microorganisms, Ultraviolet radiation should be emitted at the optimal wavelength of 253.7 nanometer (nm), which is known as ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). The germicidal effectiveness decreases with other wavelengths. Thus, high quality UV sterilization lamps are important and effectively deliver the right amount of UV radiation for the desired application.
Key reason for this growth is the recent covid-19 pandemic. After the emergence of the coronavirus in 2019, the infection had spread to more than 213 countries around the world till January 2021. With the fast transit of global travel around the world in today's age, the spreading of an infectious outbreak across national and international boundaries has become very easy and could occur within days. Many other pandemics like the SARS, Ebola virus, H1N1, bird flu, swine flu have also gripped the world and effected thousands of businesses and people around the world. Pandemics like these are expected to increase in occurrence due to global warming and UV disinfection equipment's is a good option to eradicate these infections in future. According to the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), 254 nm mercury UV lamp can eradicate 99% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since this finding, IV disinfection equipment's have been installed in schools, airports, hospitals, railway stations etc. around the globe. Hospitals use robots with installed UV lamps for disinfection. For example. Tru-D and Xenex are two robots which can enter empty rooms (between patients) and roam around remotely while emitting high power UV irradiation to disinfect surfaces. In November 2020, the European Union purchased 200 disinfection robots for hospitals across Europe.
American Ultraviolet, Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation, Australian Ultraviolet Services Pty. Ltd., Danaher Corporation, Halma Plc, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Kuraray Co. Ltd., Xylem Inc., Severn Trent Plc, and Steris Plc are some of the prominent players operating in the Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Equipment market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

UV light sterilization inactivates microorganisms by damaging the DNA of cells. DNA is responsible for the replication of cell and thus the structure of the DNA renders cells unable to replicate and is unable to spread the disease. When cells absorb UV photons, it creates pyrimidine dimers. A DNA with pyrimidine dimers is unable to function properly which results in the death of the organism or its inability to replicate.
