UV-C LED, a form of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, emits ultraviolet light within the germicidal range, typically spanning from 200 to 280 nanometers. Its application extends to disinfection purposes in water purification, air sanitization, and surface sterilization, owing to its capacity to deactivate pathogens' DNA.
Mounting methods for UV-C LEDs primarily encompass surface mount, chip-on-board, through hole, and other variants. Surface-mount UV-C LEDs, compact electronic elements, are directly soldered onto circuit boards, rendering them suitable for space-constrained applications such as portable devices and automotive systems. Products are categorized into wavelength ranges such as 200-230nm, 230-260nm, and 260-280nm, employed in various end-user applications including water, surface, and air disinfection across industrial, residential, and commercial sectors.
The UV-C LED market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides UV-C LED market statistics, including UV-C LED industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an UV-C LED market share, detailed UV-C LED market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the UV-C LED industry. This UV-C LED market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The UV-C LED market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.68 billion in 2023 to $0.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37%. During the historic period, growth can be linked to a heightened recognition of disinfection's significance, regulatory requirements advocating for disinfection solutions, escalating worries regarding healthcare-related infections, the need for disinfection solutions, and reduced expenses.
The UV-C LED market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be can be ascribed to escalating concerns surrounding infectious diseases. Furthermore, advancements in UV-C LED efficiency and affordability, alongside a burgeoning demand for portable disinfection devices and the increasing preference for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly disinfection technologies, are anticipated drivers. Notable trends in the forecast period encompass adoption within healthcare settings, the extension into consumer electronics, ongoing technological enhancements, and the emergence of new applications.
The rise in air pollution and water contamination is anticipated to drive the growth of the UV-C LED market. These environmental issues result from the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere and water bodies, negatively impacting human health and ecosystems. Industrial activities, agricultural runoff, vehicle emissions, and improper waste disposal are primary contributors to air pollution and water contamination, posing significant environmental and health risks. UV-C LED technology addresses these challenges by offering effective disinfection and sterilization, eliminating bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms from air and water. For example, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in March 2024, global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose by 1.1% in 2023, reaching a record high of over 37.4 metric tons compared to 36.8 billion metric tons in 2022. Additionally, the World Health Organization reported in September 2023 that at least 1.7 billion individuals worldwide have access to drinking water contaminated with fecal matter. Thus, the increasing levels of air pollution and water contamination are expected to fuel the demand for UV-C LED technology.
Key players in the UV-C LED market are concentrating on enhancing energy efficiency, particularly through advancements such as high-radiant-flux technology, to improve sterilization efficiency and broaden applications across various industries. High-radiant-flux UV-C LEDs, characterized by increased output power, enable more effective and efficient disinfection and sterilization processes. For instance, in January 2023, Nichia Corporation introduced the NCSU434C, a cutting-edge high-radiant-flux UV-C LED specifically designed for industrial water and air applications. This innovative product delivers exceptional performance, effectively sterilizing a wide range of bacteria. With a radiant flux of 110 mW at 350 mA and a remarkable wall-plug efficiency of 5.4%, the NCSU434C sets a new standard for reliability and effectiveness in the market, eliminating the need for exaggerated marketing claims.
