From 2018 to 2022, the global ultra violet (UV) lamps market exhibited growth at 7.5% CAGR and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2023 to 2033. Various municipalities across the globe are focusing on the installation of ultraviolet systems in their water and wastewater treatment plants and facilities.
In 2017, for instance, a water treatment plant located in Pinggu, China, installed UV disinfection equipment complementing the chlorination process for the treatment of water. Ultraviolet lamps are nowadays used in numerous water treatment systems worldwide. For example,
In the healthcare sector, various facilities such as hospitals and clinics, especially in developed regions like North America and Europe are adopting UV disinfection equipment for surface and air disinfection of rooms, primarily for the reduction of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
The expansion of certain industries such as chemical and food & beverages is also expected to push the production capacity of companies through the setting up of new plants across the globe. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the uptake of UV disinfection equipment for the treatment of industrial effluents, as well as to meet the rising processed water requirements of these industries.
Owing to the aforementioned factors, the global ultra violet (UV) lamps market is projected to expand by 2.8x by 2033 as compared to 2023.
The Focus of Manufacturers on Lamp Design Modification
There have been some notable advancements in the field of UV lamps recently. Key UV disinfection lamp manufacturers are focused on improving the performance of disinfection equipment systems by modifying the design through various techniques such as flow distribution and lamp arrangements.
Key UV disinfection system manufacturers are also focusing on global expansion plans by setting up new offices and partnering with local distributors to cater to the growing demand from water and wastewater treatment facilities. Moreover, some of the other companies are investing substantially in research and development activities to introduce efficient products. This has further led to advancements in the design of electronic ballasts in combination with intelligent UV systems to produce new devices with low power consumption and minimal maintenance cost.

The average lifespan of a UV lamp is around two years. Currently, on average, UV lamps generate a dosage level of around 60,000 mW-s/cm2 and have to be replaced if the dosage drops below the minimum requirement of 30,000 mW-s/cm2 for effective functioning.
Conventional methods for the disinfection of water such as chlorination and oxidation are still used in water and wastewater treatment facilities in certain developing countries across Latin America and Europe. This is further expected to hinder the adoption of UV disinfection equipment and thus hamper growth in the ultraviolet (UV) lamps market.
Demand for Ultraviolet Light Sterilizers to Surge in the USA among Water Treatment Facilities
The USA held around 20.8% of the global market share in 2022, finds FMI. Growing investments in the pharmaceutical, chemical processing, food & beverage, and water sectors in the USA are likely to play a significant role in driving the demand for wastewater treatment, thereby pushing sales of UV disinfection equipment like UV lamps during the projection period.
Increasing demand for clean and safe drinking water owing to the rising population and declining number of freshwater resources is also expected to boost growth in the USA further.
China is expected to witness a CAGR of 13.5% between 2023 and 2023. The country has been promoting environmental protection and industrial development in recent years.
A succession of policies and regulations, such as the Energy Conservation Law of the People’s Republic of China to accelerate the development of energy-saving and safe products, as well as to protect the environment, is driving the market in China. At the same time, the promotion of safe and eco-friendly products is creating a high demand for ultraviolet lights in the country.
