The uv disinfection equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of UV disinfection equipment has seen significant expansion in the past few years. Forecast trends predict it to surge from $5.25 billion in 2024 to a robust $6.06 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The past growth attributes largely to heightened cognizance regarding infections, healthcare sector's embracement, adherence to regulatory standards, as well as the requirements of water and wastewater treatment and food and beverage industries.
The UV Disinfection Equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the UV disinfection equipment market size to swiftly expand in the years to come. The market is projected to reach $11.17 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%.
The anticipated growth during this forecast period is primarily due to factors such as food safety and agricultural practices, resilience against newly emerging pathogens, the expanding usage of UV-c applications, government measures and regulations, and the rise in remote and off-grid applications. During this forecast period, the major market trends expected include the combination of smart technologies, portable and mobile UV options, advancements in UV-c LEDs technology, collaboration with robotics, and air purification incorporated in HVAC systems.
Escalating water contamination and the degradation of water quality is projected to drive the expansion of the UV disinfection equipment market in the future. Water pollution involves the introduction of harmful substances into groundwater or bodies of water like lakes, rivers, streams, estuaries, and oceans to the extent that they hinder the beneficial utilization of the water. Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 253.7 nanometers has been employed to disinfect bacteria, viruses, molds, algae, and other microorganisms which reproduce and flourish. For example, in March 2023, data published by the Environment Agency, a non-departmental public entity based in the UK, revealed a 54% increase in sewage spills, rising from 301,091 in 2022 to 464,056 in 2023. The average spills per overflow also increased from 23 to 33. Moreover, monitored spills duration in 2023 topped at 3,606,170 hours, exhibiting a 105% spike from 1,754,921 hours in 2022, whereas the percentage of storm overflows spilling less than 10 times dropped from 48% to 40%, and those not spilling at all lowered from 18% to 13.9%. Consequently, the escalation in water pollution and the degradation of water quality are fueling the growth of the UV disinfection equipment market.

Top firms in the UV disinfection equipment market are leveraging technology such as UV-C LED to introduce new products that offer effective solutions. UV-C LED is a technology that involves the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce ultraviolet C (UV-C) light. For instance, AquiSense Technologies, a leading US-based UV disinfection systems company, introduced PearlAqua Deca 30C in May 2023, which uses UV-C LED technology to achieve over 99.99% pathogen reduction at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. The product, encased in a sleek design, features automatic switch-on/switch-off functions or external triggering, adaptable alarm outputs, and energy reduction through dynamic power management. The PearlAqua Deca 30C is a reflection of AquiSense's next-generation design strategy, incorporating high-tech UV-C LED components, cutting-edge electronics, a built-in UV Intensity Sensor and enhanced assembly automation.
