Increased Adoption of UV Disinfection to Drive Growth of the UV Lamps Market

The global UV Lamps Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 741.3 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 45.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
UV lamps emit ultraviolet light in the wavelength range of 200 to 400 nanometers. They are majorly used for disinfection of air, water and surfaces. UV lamps provide an effective and economical solution to disinfect areas and destroy harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and fungus. They help eliminate healthcare-associated infections and improve indoor air quality. UV lamps are witnessing increased adoption in various end use industries like healthcare, food & beverage, and water treatment among others. They help reduce operating costs and improve operational efficiencies compared to conventional disinfection methods. Growing awareness about UV disinfection and its advantages over chemicals is anticipated to boost the adoption of UV lamps going ahead.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the UV lamps market is the increasing demand from the healthcare industry. UV lamps are extensively used in hospitals and healthcare facilities to disinfect surgical equipment and hospital surfaces to curb the spread of drug resistant infections. The ongoing covid-19 pandemic has further accelerated their adoption for disinfection of isolation wards, ICUs and common areas. Another major trend is the growing use of far-UVC lamps which have been proven safe for humans but are highly effective against pathogens. They are gaining prominence for room disinfection applications and are being installed in offices, schools, airports etc. Manufacturers are also focusing on developing advanced UV lamps with enhanced efficacy, longer lifespan and competitive pricing to expand market reach. Introduction of sensor-based and IoT enabled smart UV lamps with remote monitoring capability is another emerging trend in the market.
