The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in smart and connected air purifiers, integration of AI for predictive maintenance, expansion in commercial and medical applications, increasing adoption of multi-stage filtration solutions, rising demand for energy-efficient air purification systems. Major trends in the forecast period include smart UV air purification systems, energy-efficient air purifiers, integration with HVAC systems, portable & compact air purifiers, multi-stage filtration solutions.

The increasing levels of air pollution are expected to drive the growth of the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market going forward. Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in the atmosphere, which can cause serious health issues and premature deaths. Rising air pollution levels are attributed to vehicle emissions, industrial discharges, deforestation, agricultural activities, and fossil fuel combustion. Ultraviolet (UV) air purifiers help address these issues by neutralizing airborne pathogens and breaking down pollutants through UV light exposure. For example, in November 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based government agency, reported that greenhouse gas emissions were projected to rise by 3% in 2023, while reductions of 28% by 2030 for the 2°C pathway and 42% for the 1.5°C pathway are still required to meet the Paris Agreement targets. Therefore, the rising levels of air pollution are driving the growth of the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market.

Leading companies in the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as UV-PCO (Ultraviolet Photocatalytic Oxidation) sterilization to effectively neutralize airborne pollutants and improve air quality. UV-PCO technology employs ultraviolet light and a photocatalyst to oxidize and decompose airborne pollutants into harmless byproducts. For example, in July 2024, SOTO PLUS, a China-based manufacturer specializing in advanced air purification and environmental control solutions, introduced the SOTO-Y6 air purifier featuring UV-PCO sterilization technology. The SOTO-Y6 combines advanced filters with a high-quality motor, achieving a particle CADR of up to 690㎥/h and a formaldehyde CADR of 319㎥/h while operating quietly. It removes over 90% of microorganisms and eliminates more than 99.9% of S. albus within 60 minutes, meeting stringent hygiene standards. The purifier’s UV-PCO technology and smart control system provide real-time monitoring and optimal air purification.

In September 2024, BDG & Partners, a financial corporation based in Canada, acquired Sanuvox Technologies Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aligns with BDG's strategy to broaden its portfolio in the air purification sector by utilizing Sanuvox's advanced technology in UV air and coil disinfection systems. Furthermore, this move highlights the rising demand for effective air purification technologies, particularly due to growing health concerns related to indoor air quality. Sanuvox Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company specializing in ultraviolet air purification.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have affected the ultraviolet air purifier market by increasing the cost of imported components such as uv-c lamps, electronic circuits, and specialized filters, which has led to higher production costs. Commercial and medical segments, particularly in regions like North America and Europe that rely on imports from Asia, are most impacted. While tariffs pose challenges, they also encourage local manufacturing and innovation in cost-efficient, energy-saving UV air purifiers, potentially strengthening domestic market growth.

Ultraviolet (UV) air purifiers are devices designed to enhance air quality by using UV light. They operate by emitting UV-C light, which is effective at destroying or inactivating microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores in the air. While UV air purifiers are effective at neutralizing airborne pathogens, they are often most effective when used in conjunction with other filtration methods, such as HEPA filters, to capture particles and allergens.

The primary types of UV air purifiers include fixed and portable models. Fixed UV air purifiers are permanently installed and use UV light to eliminate airborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and mold. They incorporate various technologies, such as HEPA filters, activated carbon, and ionic systems, and are available through both online and offline channels. These devices are used in a range of settings, including residential, commercial, and medical environments, among others.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market in 2025.
