UV Infection Control Device Market: Summary

UV infection control devices (ICDs) are systems and equipment that are utilized to sterilize, sanitize, and disinfect various products, tools, and others using UV light. Generally, UV infection control devices (ICDs) are utilized to sanitize water, wastewater, air, process water, and surfaces, among others. When bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are exposed to a range of 200 and 300 nanometer wavelengths of UV light, they are rendered incapable of reproducing and infecting. UV light can be effective against pathogenic organisms such as cholera, polio, typhoid, hepatitis, and other bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. UV infection control devices (ICDs) are available as stationary and mobile devices.

UV Infection Control Device Market: Drivers and Restraints

The major factors driving the growth of the UV infection control device (ICD) market are the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN for water treatment and clean water. World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that around 7 million deaths occur annually due to various infections that spread through water, air, and surfaces. These deaths can be prevented with proper disinfection and sanitization techniques. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the UN which would strive to achieve 17 goals by 2032 have “clean water and sanitation for all” as one of its prime goals.

Increasing needs for safe drinking water in developing regions have further boosted the demand for UV ICDs. Around 663 million people across the globe don’t have access to clean drinking water. Thus, this factor is expected to boost the demand for UV ICDs during the forecast period.

Currently, numerous disinfectants and curing chemicals are widely used for sterilization purposes. These chemicals pose grave threats to the environment as well as lead to residue after its usage. These factors could propel the replacement of harmful disinfectants and curing chemicals with UV ICDs.

However, comparatively lower costs of conventional disinfectant products coupled with the inability of UV ICDs to treat residuals could hamper the adoption and growth of UV ICDs during the forecast period.

UV Infection Control Device Market: Segmentation

Mobile-type UV ICDs are versatile and can be moved and transported to different locations with relative ease. This versatility and mobility have boosted the demand for mobile type UV ICDs. The stationary-type UV ICDs are fixed to one location or spot and cannot be moved or transported. Stationary type UV ICDs are expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2024 to 2032. Mobile type UV ICDs are expected to generate revenues of more than USD 3750.23 million by 2032. 

Hospitals dominate the global UV infection control device market. Most hospitals employ some type of UV ICDs on their premises. UV ICDs are used in the operation rooms, equipment room, and patient room, and can also be used in the duct, surface, and mobile rooms among others in hospitals. Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and drug-resistant bacteria could be sterilized and prevented with the aid of UV ICDs. Thus, hospitals have a huge demand for UV ICDs. Hospitals contributed to around 48.15% share of the total demand for UV ICDs in 2023.

Water, wastewater & process water treatment applications contributed to more than USD 1,600.23 million in 2023. UV ICDs assist in treating water, wastewater, and processed water from industries. Treatment by UV ICDs does not leave any by-products in the treated water and is comparatively cheaper and easily available as compared to other water treatment technologies. Surface disinfection application is expected to grow at a leading CAGR of more than 24.33% during the forecast period.
