Asia Pacific UV Led Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)

The Asia Pacific UV LED market reached around USD 417.74 Million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.60% between 2025 and 2034 to reach nearly USD 1.78 billion by 2034.

Asia Pacific UV LED Market Growth

As per the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, nearly 35% of growth in the global urban population is expected to be concentrated in just a few countries, including India, China, and Nigeria. By 2025, India’s real estate sector is expected to contribute nearly 13% to the domestic GDP and reach a size of nearly $1 trillion by 2030. This is expected to raise significant concerns regarding sustainable development, as buildings account for nearly 40% of energy use, 20% of water effluents, and 24% of domestic carbon emissions annually. UV LEDs are expected to replace UV lamps in a wide range of applications, primarily including disinfection, thereby driving market growth over the forecast period.

To cater to the increasing passenger demand for vegetarian items, airlines operating in the Middle East are establishing partnership agreements with vertical farming companies that operate near the airport and grow leafy vegetables in huge quantities. For instance, the EC01 facility in Dubai is the world's largest vertical farming facility that produces 900 tonnes of lettuce while using 95% less water than conventional methods of crop cultivation. The presence of extreme climatic conditions in the region is expected to increase the growth of vertical farming. Vertical farming involves crop cultivation in layers through LED lighting indoors under controlled nutrition and growing systems. This is expected to drive market expansion in the coming years.
