UV light is used by ultraviolet systems to provide clean water for the entire house. UV disinfection is a cost-effective and ecologically acceptable method of eliminating 99.99% of dangerous waterborne germs without adding or removing anything from the water.

UV water treatment uses UV-C light to create and develop germicidal action. During the course of the forecast period, increasing the usage of Ultraviolet Disinfection systems in different applications for wastewater treatment, medical care, and other sectors will be a key growth driver. Public health organizations have recognized UV disinfection systems as a successful method for cleaning wastewater, reclaimed water, and drinking water. Due to their safety and lack of dependence on harmful chemicals, these systems have been adopted by countries all over the world to save water resources and achieve sustainability objectives.

Given the recent global spread of infectious diseases and other potential pathogens that can be transmitted through water and air, as well as the level of containment in drinking water wreaking havoc on the health of general consumers in developing countries, factors like growing awareness of the significance of health literacy in individuals, partly imparted by government bodies, and the level of containment in drinking water driving the growth of the UV water treatment system market.

Ultraviolet Water Treatment System Market Drivers:

  • The rising demand in the healthcare sector will grow the ultraviolet water treatment system market

Growing demand from healthcare institutions for ultraviolet water treatment systems. The WHO estimates that for every 100 hospitalized patients, ten will be from developing countries and seven from industrialized nations will contract at least one HAI. The rise of the sector is being driven by the fact that the infection incidence is substantially greater in middle- and low-income nations, notably in patients admitted to critical care units or newborns.

The need for a higher level of disinfection and a reduction in by-products has grown as a result of increased awareness of the significance of water quality and the growing number of regulations. In 2019, applications for water and wastewater treatment that used ultraviolet water treatment systems topped the sector and accounted for 70.4% of worldwide sales the centers for disease control reported in 2019 that infections from five major foodborne pathogens, including Cyclospora, Vibrio, STEC, Yersinia, and Campylobacter, are increasing. As a result, many businesses are integrating purpose-built UV plants into the treatment processes to offer complete water treatment.

This demand increase for the treatment will lead to growing the ultraviolet water treatment system market.

  • The rise in industrial activities and government initiatives will increase the market growth

Government initiatives to stop unlawful dumping are fuelling the growth of the world’s ultraviolet water treatment system market. Due to improperly or insufficiently treated industrial wastewater effluents, industrial activity, and urbanization have caused environmental deterioration. As practically all bacteria are amenable to chemical-free UV disinfection, the need for UV disinfection for industrial wastewater treatment is growing.

According to WHO in 2021 it estimates that each year, water-borne illnesses will cause about 1.5 million human deaths. People are more worried about their health and prefer clean drinking water to prevent such dangerous diseases as knowledge and information on water-borne diseases and water pollution has grown. The installation of UV disinfection systems is required for several government projects, such as the National Mission for Clean Ganga, the Five-Year Plan of the Chinese Government, and the Chicago River project, which is what is driving the market trends for UV disinfection systems.

This certainly shows the increase in growth of the government taking measures to manage solid waste will propel the market growth for the solid waste management market.

Ultraviolet Water Treatment System Market Geographical Outlook:

  • During the forecast period, North America tends to propel market growth.

Due to growing concerns about the effects of disinfection on the environment and human health, as well as chemical and biological pollutants that are produced as by-products in wastewater and water supplies, which are the main opportunities to drive the future of the North American market. North America held the lion's share of the global market for UV water treatment system equipment. Also, the market is primarily pushed by the development of contemporary, inexpensive, more dependable, eco-friendly, simple-to-use, and residue-free UV disinfection solutions.

Furthermore, the market for UV disinfection in North America is rising as a result of an increase in chronic diseases such as H1N1, pandemic viruses such as H1N1, covid-19, and an aging population. Because it is both safe and ecologically friendly, UV technology has nearly totally replaced chemical treatment as a means of disinfection for drinking water and wastewater treatment.  In July 2020 the Tennessee Valley Authority, a federally controlled company in the United States that produces power, declared that it will offer incentives to companies and schools to install UV systems for drinking water and many more to stop the transmission of germs and viruses like COVID-19 in enclosed spaces. All these applications and developments by investors will be led to the demand and awareness of ultraviolet water treatment systems which will increase this market.
