The ultraviolet (uv) air purifier market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for ultraviolet (UV) air purifiers has seen a quick expansion. The projection for its growth is to escalate from $1.69 billion in 2024 to $1.92 billion in 2025, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%.
The historical period's growth is attributed to factors such as an increase in healthcare facilities, a surge in the number of individuals opting to work from home, an uptick in the number of residential and commercial buildings being constructed, a rise in the occurrence of respiratory ailments, and an increase in the frequency of airborne infectious diseases.
The ultraviolet (uv) air purifier market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to witness substantial growth in the upcoming years, the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market is set to scale up to $3.14 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%.
This predicted growth for the forecasted duration can be credited to the escalating popularity of smart homes, deepening consciousness about air quality, amplified health apprehensions, increasingly high levels of air pollution, along with an upward trend in commercial constructions. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period encapsulate cutting-edge technological advancements, linkage with smart home systems, more compact and aesthetically pleasing design elements, and integration with HVAC systems.
The escalating air pollution levels are projected to stimulate the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market's expansion in the future. Air pollution indicates the existence of toxic substances in the atmosphere, causing critical health problems and early fatalities. Factors such as vehicle exhaust, industrial waste, deforestation, farming practices, and fossil fuel burning contribute to the increase in air pollution levels. Ultraviolet (UV) air purifiers play a crucial role in countering the elevated air pollution levels by neutralizing airborne contaminants and decomposing pollutants through UV light exposure. As reported by the Environmental Protection Agency, a government agency in the U.S., in July 2024, there was a 0.2% increase in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 from 2021 levels. Hence, the escalating air pollution levels are fueling the growth of the ultraviolet (UV) air purifier market.

Leading corporations in the UV air purifier industry are concentrating their efforts on creating advanced tech solutions such as UV-PCO sterilization technology. This approach aims to efficiently improve air quality by neutralizing airborne contaminants. The UV-PCO process leverages ultraviolet light in conjunction with a photocatalyst to transform airborne pollutants into harmless byproducts. For example, in July 2024, SOTO PLUS, an innovative air purification and environmental control firm based in China, rolled out SOTO-Y6, an air purifier featuring the UV-PCO sterilization technology. The device amalgamates advanced filtering mechanisms and a superior motor to achieve particle CADR of up to 690?/h and 319?/h formaldehyde CADR, all without causing any noise. It successfully eliminates over 90% of tiny organisms and gets rid of more than 99.9% of S. albus within an hour, adhering to strict standards of cleanliness. The UV-PCO technology paired with a smart regulating system in the purifier enables real-time monitoring for optimal air purification.
