Global UV LED Market: Overview

UV LED devices are capable of reducing light whenever an electric current is passed through the terminals. The ultraviolet light-emitting diode operates below 100 degrees temperature. These are widely used in electronic devices to fulfill the purpose of exposing PCB to air. These LEDs are used in a number of applications, including medical, phototherapy, sterilization & disinfection, indoor gardening, purification, and forensic purposes. The ultraviolet LED technology can transform electric energy into ultraviolet light energy. UV LEDs are frequently found in CCFL technology and do not comprise toxic mercury. They are comparatively more durable & compact than CCFL and highly resistant to vibrations. However, it helps in less product breakage, thereby providing low maintenance expense and waste in total.

Growth Drivers:

The surge in the trend of smart home appliances globally is likely to offer ample impetus to the growth of the global U V LED market. UV technology is witnessing the high implementation of a wide range of smart home appliances like advanced kitchen appliances, air conditioners, refrigerators, and smart water purifiers. UV LED offers high-cost efficiency, low power consumption, and high end-feature as compared to UV lamps and bulbs. Different companies engaged in the manufacturing of electronic appliances are highly integrating UV LED into products to make them more effective and innovative. The eco-friendly composition of UV LED is further augmenting the growth of the global market.

Restraints:

Recently many tariffs have been imposed by the government, particularly the U.S. government, which in turn has emerged as a key factor hampering the growth of the global market as these measures will scale up the cost of such products significantly. Another major factor restraining the growth of the global market is the high manufacturing and installation cost of UV LEDs when compared to other alternatives. Manufacturers are finding difficulty in order to improve efficiency and light output while increasing the usability life and reliability of LED products.

Opportunities:

Favorable government initiatives to support the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, thus creating immense growth opportunities for market. The government is investing heavily in the pharmaceutical and medical sector to encourage the novel drug development process, which will offer many growth prospects in the forthcoming years. The growing applications of ultraviolet LEDs in the pharmaceutical sector are another critical factor likely to create new avenues in the global market. UV LEDs are adopted in different pharmaceutical processes like vitamin analysis, protein synthesis, DNA analysis, and phototherapy. Additionally, the wide-scale acceptance of UV LED lights will further support the market growth. The growing focus of market leaders on strategic alliances and acquisitions to stay at the front in the market will further contribute towards the expansion of growth opportunities and increasing market share.

Challenges:
