Deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) are semiconductor devices that emit ultraviolet light in the deep UV spectrum, typically ranging from 200 to 280 nanometers. They find applications in sterilization and medical diagnostics due to their effective eradication of microorganisms. These LEDs present a compact, energy-efficient alternative to conventional mercury-based UV light sources.
The primary types of deep UV LED include P-type gallium nitride (PGaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), and others. Aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) serves as a semiconductor material utilized in deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs). Distribution channels encompass both direct and indirect methods, catering to various applications such as sterilization, purification, water treatment, light sources, and more.

These deep UV LED market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The deep UV LED market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.85 billion in 2024 to $3.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 74.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise in biotechnology applications, the rise of consumer electronics, increasing demand for disinfection, increasing public health awareness, and increase in use in healthcare.
The deep UV LED market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 74.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for sterilization for water purification, an increase in scarcity of pure water, a growing demand for semiconductor lithography, increasing research and development investments, and a rise in biotechnology applications. Major trends in the forecast period include ongoing innovations in semiconductor materials, miniaturization of LED devices, improvements in LED efficiency and lifespan, advancements in semiconductor technology, and the development of high-performance thermal management solutions.
The growing concern over water scarcity is expected to drive the growth of the deep UV LED market in the coming years. Water scarcity refers to the insufficient availability of water resources to meet the demands of a particular region. This can arise due to factors such as physical shortages, over-extraction, pollution, and poor water management. Deep UV LEDs are utilized in water-scarce regions for water purification and disinfection, ensuring safe drinking water by eliminating harmful microorganisms. Their energy efficiency and compact size make them ideal for portable and decentralized water treatment systems. For example, in March 2024, the United Nations Environment Programme, based in Kenya, reported that 50% of the global population-approximately 4 billion people-experiences water shortages for at least one month each year. By 2025, it is projected that 1.8 billion people will face what the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) calls absolute water scarcity. Therefore, the rising concern over water scarcity is fueling the growth of the deep UV LED market.
Leading companies in the deep UV LED market are focused on developing innovative products that leverage technologies such as scanning projection stereolithography (SPSL) to address challenges in the UV range. SPSL, a 3D printing technology, combines scanning and projection methods to selectively cure photosensitive resin layer by layer, enabling faster printing speeds compared to traditional methods. For instance, in October 2022, The Silanna Group Pty. Ltd., a US-based semiconductor company, introduced two new UV-C LEDs, the SF1-3T9B5L1 and the SN3-5T9B5L1, both packaged in TO-can format. The SF1-3T9B5L1 emits far UV-C with a peak wavelength of 235 nm, suitable for applications such as water quality detection and gas sensing. The SN3-5T9B5L1 is a powerful deep UV-C LED with a peak wavelength of 255 nm, effective for water quality detection and gas sensing, as well as medical applications.
In May 2023, Halma plc, a UK-based safety equipment company, acquired Sewertronics Sp. Z o.o. for $44.59 million, enhancing its portfolio with innovative UV LED technology for repairing wastewater pipelines and reducing water usage, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. Sewertronics Sp. Z o.o., based in Poland, specializes in deep UV LED technology for the curing and repair of wastewater pipelines.
