Frost & Sullivan, Nov 2009, Pages: 87
Europe, North & South America, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Market profiles have been provided for the four regional segments, which included a review of the market in each region, analysing the key market forces of drivers and restraints, market measurements of market size for base year, corresponding annual growth rate including the compound annual growth rate for the forecast period and the revenue share trends by the key application segments of municipal and industrial sectors.
This research service titled Global Ultraviolet (UV) Water and Wastewater Disinfection Systems Market provides industry overview, market challenges, market forces, revenue forecasts by geographic regions, applications and treatment segments, competitive structure of the market and market share analysis. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the revenues generated by the UV disinfection systems market through its application in the municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment process.
Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems Prove an Effective and Viable Water Treatment Technology
The market for UV disinfection has a great opportunity to come good on its potential with passing of the Long term 2 enhanced surface water treatment rule, which encourages the adoption of UV disinfection systems in municipal water treatment plants. There is a pressing need to treat the cryptosporidium and giardia present in the surface water of North America and Europe, and UV has proved effective in treating these microbes. Many major cities such as New York, Cincinnati, Paris and Washington D.C have already installed UV disinfection systems in their water treatment facilities to treat cryptosporidium. Further, European legislation such as the Bathing Water Directive and Drinking Water Directive also greatly enhance the uptake of UV systems in the wastewater and water treatment segments. “Moreover, UV disinfections systems are used widely in industries that employ high-purity process water in their manufacturing process,” says the analyst of this research. “Certain industrial segments such as pharmaceuticals, life science and semiconductors, which prefer non-chemical based disinfection methods, have increased the demand for high-purity water systems and thereby, UV disinfection systems.”
Despite its considerable advantages, the high capital costs of UV disinfection systems compared to the conventional chlorine-based disinfection hinders its penetration in price-sensitive markets. The market is also facing stiff challenge from other disinfection technologies, especially chlorine-based ones. However, due to the recent directives in developed nations to control the amount of chlorine discharged from wastewater plants, the cost of chlorine-based disinfection has increased because of the additional costs of de-chlorinating the water before it is discharged. This process of chlorination and de-chlorination is more expensive than using UV, thus making UV more cost effective. There is also a general tendency among industrial plants to avoid chlorine-based disinfection systems, as the presence of residual chemicals in their process water could affect the manufacturing process.
“Additionally, the rising demand and scarcity of potable water have led to growing interest in water reuse and recycle in many regions across the globe,” notes the analyst. “With UV disinfection forming a very essential part of the water re-use and recycling system, the market is expected to experience increased investments.”
