Overview-

UV disinfection equipment is the gadgets that use UV-C light to deliver a germicidal outcome. The significance of UV-C lights in UV disinfection devices has expanded significantly, attributable to their adequacy in destroying the RNA and DNA of the microorganisms like microbes, molds, infections, and yeasts. Ultra-violet (UV) disinfection is a profoundly successful approach to killing microbial pollution in water.

In this process microbes are presented to UV-C light to disinfect the water and are broadly utilized across a range of utilization like filtration of water, cleaning water supply, and industrial wastewater treatment. It is the more secure and cost-effective approaches to disinfect the water for modern applications. UV technology obliterates the DNA of microorganism which causes the death of bacteria and eventually stop the development of the bacteria as DNA plays vital in the development and augmentation of the multiplication of bacteria. Besides, this innovation is additionally used to sanitize surfaces and evacuation of TOC.

This has led to a heightened demand for UV lamps, which is expected to stimulate industry growth going forward.

Quartz sleeve fouling is usually triggered by the accumulation of calcium, magnesium, and algae ions, along with an iron layer because of inadequate equipment upkeep. The US EPA wastewater technology fact sheet predicts that quartz sleeves can have a lifespan of up to 8 years, with a typical replacement time of 5 years, driving the demand for these products.

The global reactor chamber segment is estimated to experience a steady CAGR over the forecast period. This is attributed to the advantages that the reactor chambers offer, such as high flow capacity despite their smaller dimensions, easy installation, and low head losses of less than 0.5 meters. These features are anticipated to propel the growth of the industry.

By Application

• Surface Disinfection 
• Air Disinfection
• Process Water Disinfection
• Water & Wastewater Disinfection 

The water and wastewater segment has been driving the market, as rapid industrialization in developing economies has caused a rise in water pollution as well as an increase in the demand for clean and safe drinking water due to population growth. This is likely to boost product demand further.

By utilizing air purifiers, educational facilities can improve the quality of indoor air and reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission. Additionally, these systems can help reduce the presence of outdoor air pollutants, such as dust, smoke, and chemicals, which have been linked to a range of respiratory and other health issues. Air purification systems also provide an additional layer of protection for students, faculty, and staff in educational settings.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a notable rise in the demand for processed fruits and vegetables, leading to customers flocking to retail stores to stock up on these items. The presence of airborne respiratory pathogens in confined spaces is higher than in open areas, spurring retailers to install UV air disinfection systems to reduce the risk of exposure to these viruses.

By End-User

• Residential
