The rise in airborne diseases is expected to drive the growth of the smart ultraviolet C air sanitizer market in the coming years. Airborne diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoa that are transmitted through the air. The increasing occurrence of airborne diseases is linked to growing urbanization, higher pollution levels, and frequent viral outbreaks, which raise exposure risks and create a stronger need for effective air sanitation solutions. Smart ultraviolet C air sanitizers help combat airborne diseases by neutralizing harmful pathogens in indoor spaces, delivering cleaner air, lowering the risk of infection, and supporting overall public health without depending entirely on chemical disinfectants. For instance, in July 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency based in Australia, reported that more than seven hundred seventy-five million COVID-nineteen cases and over seven million related deaths were confirmed globally in 2024, compared to an estimated total burden of forty-eight thousand four hundred disability-adjusted life years, or one point eight per one thousand population, in 2023. Therefore, the increase in airborne diseases is contributing to the growth of the smart ultraviolet C air sanitizer market.

Leading companies in the smart ultraviolet C air sanitizer market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies such as ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation to improve air purification performance, enhance the elimination of pathogens, and strengthen the management of indoor air quality. Ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation technology uses ultraviolet light combined with a photocatalyst, usually titanium dioxide, to initiate chemical reactions that break down and neutralize airborne contaminants. For example, in July 2024, SOTO PLUS, a company based in South Korea, launched the SOTO Y6. This product features ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation technology that combines ultraviolet C light with a photocatalyst to eliminate pathogens and decompose airborne pollutants. This combination supports both sterilization and purification, contributing to better indoor air quality. The SOTO Y6 also includes smart features such as touch-free hand gesture controls and intelligent monitoring systems, making it a highly advanced ultraviolet C air sanitizer.

In June 2024, SC Johnson Professional, a business-to-business company based in the United States, formed a partnership with R Zero to expand its institutional and industrial product offerings through the use of ultraviolet C technology. This collaboration is designed to enhance both companies’ presence in the disinfection and hygiene industry, promote sustainable growth, and deliver added value to customers through innovative ultraviolet C solutions. R Zero is a United States-based company focused on the design and production of ultraviolet C disinfection systems.

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 influenced the smart UV-C air sanitizer market by affecting the cost and availability of critical components such as UV-C lamps, electronic sensors, and hybrid filtration units. Increased tariffs on imports from major manufacturing hubs like China have led to higher production costs, particularly impacting portable and hybrid UV-C systems. Regions in Asia-Pacific and North America are most affected due to reliance on imported components, while some domestic manufacturers benefit from tariffs by gaining a competitive advantage in local markets. Companies are responding by optimizing supply chains and investing in regional production to mitigate these impacts.
