Global UV LED Industry Overview:

UV Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is a solid-state device that produces light when an electrical current flows from the positive (p-type or anode) side of the circuit to the negative (n-type or cathode) side. This is known as the ‘p-n junction’. Each LED is made to provide a particularly narrow range of UV wavelengths. The wavelength of these LEDs ranges from 10 nm to 400 nm.

UV LED Market

Global UV LED Market Dynamics:

The increase in environmental concerns drives the UV LED market during the forecast period. The UV LEDs is used for numerous application in the industries such as sterilization, detection, curing, and security. UV LEDs are environmental friendly as they do not contain harmful mercury, do not produce ozone, and consume less energy as well. These primary advantages uplift the demand for UV LEDs that are anticipated to accelerate its market growth. UV-C LEDs are rapidly growing in applications including germicidal (UVGI) for air, surface, and water purification. UV LED curing provides solutions to the negative environmental effect because it offers improved flux density, stability, and long-life hours, proliferating the UV LED market growth.

In addition, the increasing demand for UAV LED for sterilization and disinfectants propelled the UV LED market growth throughout the forecast period. Ultraviolet C (UV-C) Sterilization LED Lighting is one of the growing markets in COVID-19 pandemic that mainly aims to disinfect germs for surface contacts. Currently, Low-pressure Mercury UV-C Sterilization light is also used but it consumes more energy and requires wait time to start up the sterilization cycles. Thus, UV-C LED lighting has become popular that companies are investing resources to design UV-C LED light fixtures to be used in hotels, car trains or hospitals.
