North America Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment Market Growth & Trends
The North America ultraviolet disinfection equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.97 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast years, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising product demand in the healthcare industry on account of the high prevalence of coronavirus is expected to drive the industry growth. According to the WHO, of every hundred patients hospitalized at any given time, ten in emerging nations and seven in industrialized nations will acquire at least one Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI). Infection rates are much greater in middle- and low-income nations, which boosts the product demand in the healthcare industry.
The rising frequency of coronavirus, combined with increased R&D investment, will further drive the product demand. Mercury bulbs have always been used in ultraviolet (UV) systems to reduce microbes in residential drinking systems; however, on account of their high toxicity, the demand for UV LEDs is increasing.UV disinfection systems have been acknowledged by public health agencies as an effective technique for treating drinking water, reclaimed water, and wastewater. According to the Washington State University, UV disinfection equipment is energy-intensive as they account for around 10–25% of the total electrical energy used at a municipal wastewater treatment plant.
These systems have a lesser environmental impact than sodium hypochlorite and chlorine gas as ultraviolet is largely controlled by the composition of the electrical grid. This makes UV a versatile technology. It is projected to lessen its environmental impact in the coming years as more and more power sources become green. Companies are undertaking strategies like acquisitions, partnerships, and product launches to strengthen their product portfolio. Owing to the increasing demand for devices with UV technology in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, major manufacturers are focusing on product improvements and technical advancements.
