At 12.9% CAGR, the North America UV Disinfection Equipment Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 5,332.57 million by 2030, says The Business Market Insights

According to the Business Market Insights’ research, the North America UV disinfection equipment market was valued at US$ 2,023.11 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 5,332.57 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.9% from 2022 to 2030. Rise in use in healthcare facilities and growing demand for ultrapure water are among the critical factors attributed to the North America UV disinfection equipment market expansion.                     

The need for environmentally friendly technologies has encouraged research in chemical-free techniques to disinfect the water, which has propelled the adoption of UV disinfection systems in recent years. The UV-based water disinfection technique can also remove compounds imparting taste and odor from drinking water or wastewater-derived contaminants (in water reuse applications). Market players are launching UV disinfection solutions that reduce energy consumption with additional features.

•          In May 2023, AquiSense Technologies, a provider of UV disinfection systems for drinking water, launched PearlAqua Deca 30C. This product uses UV-C LED technology to confer over 99.99% pathogen reduction at 4 gallons per minute. The product is offered in a small case and includes either automatic on/off switching or external triggering. Through PearlAqua Deca 30C, the company introduced dynamic power control (which helps reduce energy consumption) and configurable alarm outputs into its systems.

•          In April 2023, Nuvonic, officially launched its first UV-based solutions for water, surface, and air disinfection. The product was developed in collaboration with Aquionics, Berson, Hanovia, and Orc. This provides a chemical-free, full-facility disinfection solution enabled by advanced UV technology.

•          In July 2021, Advanced Intelligent Systems (AIS), Canada, unveiled an ultraviolet light robot that kills virulent bacteria and viruses in healthcare facilities to combat the spread of infectious diseases in public spaces. North America

Germs and viruses lose their ability to infect when subjected to germicidal UV light frequencies. UVC radiation has been shown to destroy multiple pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. The novel coronavirus cannot be killed by conventional cleaning methods or chemical disinfection. UV disinfection equipment employs a very low dosage of UV light and takes much less time to neutralize a pathogen. The equipment has been deployed in schools, clinics, airports, and train stations to minimize SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Hospitals are also disinfected using UV-lamp-equipped robots. Therefore, the development of technologically advanced UV disinfection equipment is expected to bring new trends to the market during 2022–2030.
