Currently, the market is witnessing a trend that involves the combined use of UV disinfectants and ozone. This trend has been adopted against a few water-borne gastrointestinal disorders. Microbes belonging to Cryptosporidium species are chlorine-resistant; however, they can be efficiently filtered as well as disinfected through UV disinfection. This will fuel the growth of advanced disinfection techniques and equipment, such as ultraviolet disinfection.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for high-quality surface disinfectants across the globe in hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers is growing. Also, the market is driven by the growing number of laboratories and rising awareness among people about personal hygiene. Therefore, the installation of UV disinfection equipment has also increased.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market during the forecast period:

• Increasing Demand for Clean and Safe Water
• High Demand of UV Air Purification
• Increased Investment to Develop UV Disinfection Technology

UV Disinfection Equipment Market Segmentation

The global UV disinfection equipment market research report includes a detailed segmentation by application, power rating, end-users, and geography. The ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment market has experienced increased acceptance in both municipal and household drinking water treatment systems. There are few large-scale UV water treatment plants in the US. The rapid growth of chemical, textile, and oil & gas industries in emerging economies has resulted in the generation of large quantities of wastewater. Increasing investments in wastewater treatment recycling by various private and public bodies across the globe are expected to water and wastewater segment growth.

The increase in concerns toward health and well-being in the global population has led to the adoption of hygiene practices, which have propelled the market for high-powered UV disinfection to purify water. Moreover, high-power devices are used in hospitals to disinfect the hospital environment to stop the spread of healthcare-acquired diseases. The high-energy portion of the ultraviolet spectrum called UV-C is the most effective for disinfection. UV-C light has been used for many years to disinfect industrial surfaces and sanitize drinking water. Therefore, UV disinfection is highly advantageous for use in hospitals as they kill spore-forming bacterium Clostridium difficile, which is a major source of hospital-acquired infections.

UV disinfection in the dairy industry is used in the packaging of fresh milk products specifically. The installation of UV tunnels over the production lines provides an effective solution to keep food safe and clean. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for disinfection in the food and beverage industry has increased drastically, thereby driving the UV disinfection equipment market.

Hotels kitchens need to maintain proper hygiene. Therefore, hotels use UV lights in cleaning kitchens and food preparation areas. Knives, cutting boards, sinks, shelves, and cookware require to be disinfected using ultraviolet light technology. Therefore, the increasing number of spas and salons across the world has increased the demand for ultraviolet disinfection equipment in the hospitality segment. After the outbreak of COVID-19, most hotels are installing disinfection lamps, air purifiers to maintain hygiene and kill the virus.
