UV LED Market Segment Analysis - By Type

Ultraviolet C (UV-C) has dominated the UV LED Market with a share of 46.5% in 2020. In general, UV-C LEDs have wavelength range of 275 nm (280-100 nm) and they are available in different power levels and styles. Offering different operations in various industries, UV-C is available in different light sources such as single, chip-on-board and strip module of different specifications. Longer strip lengths with higher outputs is one of the widely used type. LED's have been increasingly used in applications where UV lamps (mercury, xenon, amalgam, excimer) have operated for decades. Improvements in UV-LED flux density, stability and life hours have made UV LEDs a viable solution for replacing traditional UV light sources such as mercury arc lamps, arch lamps, hot and cold cathode lamps and grid lamps. UV LEDs are more environment friendly as they do not contain harmful mercury, they do not produce ozone and consume less energy as well. These major advantages uplift the demand of UV LEDs, particularly using Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride materials which is expected to propel its market growth in forecast period. UV-C LED usage is rapidly growing in applications such as germicidal (UVGI) for air, surface and water purification.

UV LED Market Segment Analysis - By End Use Industry

UV LEDs are widely used for different Healthcare and Sterilization applications and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.4%. UV LED Curing uses light-emitting diodes which convert electrical current into light. When the electrical current flows through an LED, it gives off ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet light causes chemical reactions in the molecules within the liquid, forming chains of polymers until the liquid becomes a solid. This process is a new technology which was designed to provide solutions to many of the issues found in traditional UV curing and heat-set drying. UV LED curing offers all the benefits of traditional curing, and also provides solutions to the negative environmental impact. This new technology reduces heat radiation and offers instant on-and-off switching. UV LED curing also does not require the use of moving parts which further reduces the amount of energy required. All these advantages tend to boost its demand in Healthcare and Purification industries which uplift its market growth.

UV LED Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

Asia-Pacific accounts for being the highest market at 34.6% in 2020. The market growth in this region is predominantly rising due to leading economies such as China, India, Japan and Others. As Asia-Pacific region holds the largest population and is covered by largest ocean, the demand for freshwater has been high at different industrial as well as residential sectors. Thus, the demand for water sterilization and purification processes is of great extent. This demand enhances the market growth of UV LED in this region. According to World Bank Reports, investments done in water and sanitation in Asia-Pacific region is highest and has been increasing rapidly from $50M to $910M in recent years. These tend to propel the market growth of UV LEDs using Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride materials in forecast period as freshwater demand will always be high. Asia-Pacific is closely followed by North America in the UV LED Market growth due to presence of major market players in this region which provides technology upgrades in UV LEDs.

UV LED Market Drivers

Rise in Environmental concerns drives market growth

With the rising Environmental concerns at global level, the adoption of UV LEDS for various applications in different industries tend to drive its market growth.
