At 9.1% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa UV Disinfection Equipment Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 212.74 million by 2030, says The Business Market Insights

According to the Business Market Insights’ research, the Middle East & Africa UV disinfection equipment market was valued at US$ 106.14 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 212.74 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.1% from 2022 to 2030. Rise in use in healthcare facilities and growing demand for ultrapure water are among the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa UV disinfection equipment market expansion.                     

Disinfection is an inevitable process in hospitals, as it contributes to the safety and security of patients. Hospital facilities are highly exposed to harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can harm the well-being of patients and healthcare workers, visitors, newborns, etc. These healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are commonly transmitted through hospitals, end-stage renal disease facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, and long-term care facilities. The World Health Organization (WHO) in its report released in May 2022, stated that 7 out of 100 patients and 15 out of 100 patients in acute-care hospitals in high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), respectively, can acquire at least one HAI during their hospital stay. In addition, on average, 1 in every 10 affected patients would die from the acquired HAI. The report also stated that 70% of these diseases can be prevented by adopting good hand hygiene and other cost-effective practices. Thus, the need for disinfection equipment to kill the live germ in the air, water, or surfaces for preventing disease transmission and bolstering human safety triggers the adoption of UV disinfectant equipment in the healthcare sector.

UV light has powerful germicidal properties, specifically at 254 nm wavelength. The UV light emitted by UV disinfection equipment penetrates microbial cells, making them nonviable and barring their reproducibility or virulence. This equipment is widely used for water and surface sterilization, and air purification in healthcare facilities, enabling supplementary protection against infection and transmission of diseases. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic further fueled the UV disinfectant equipment demand in 2020 and 2021. Companies in the UV disinfection equipment market are introducing various solutions to cater to the burgeoning demand for UV disinfectant equipment in healthcare facilities.  

On the contrary, high cost of UV disinfection equipment compared to conventional systems hurdles the growth of Middle East & Africa UV disinfection equipment market.
