UV LED Market

Market Overview:

The global UV LED market size reached US$ 782.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2,646.2 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for clean water, rising prevalence of various chronic and skin conditions, and the growing trend of miniaturization in consumer electronics represent some of the key factors driving the market.

An ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) is a solid state device that emits light when an electrical current flows from the positive side to the negative side of the circuit. It consumes less energy, has a longer lifespan, emits high intensity output, and generates less heat as compared to traditional UV lamps. It is also environment-friendly as it does not contain hazardous materials like mercury and produces ozone. It releases specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light, which allows for more precise control and customization of the output. It is used to disinfect the air by killing bacteria and viruses. As it offers a longer lifetime and greater reliability and enables system designers maximum design freedom, UV LED is find numerous applications across the globe.

UV LED Market Trends:

There is an increase in the use of UV LEDs in water purification systems to disinfect water by destroying bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. They are also used in sterilization applications, as they are the most cost effective way to provide safe drinking water. This, coupled with the rising demand for clean water, represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Moreover, the growing usage of UV LEDs in indoor horticulture to stimulate plant growth and increase yields is influencing the market positively. In addition, there is a rise in the adoption of UV LEDs in diagnostic testing for various diseases and conditions to identify the presence of certain biological materials, such as blood or saliva, in a sample. They are also utilized in wound healing by stimulating the growth of new tissue and promoting the healing of damaged tissue. This, along with the surging prevalence of various chronic and skin conditions, such as psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, and acne among individuals, is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the increasing requirement of UV LED for disinfection in consumer electronics, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, to kill bacteria and viruses on the surfaces of these devices and reduce the risk of infections is propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing trend of miniaturization in consumer electronics and the rising adoption of LED technology for UV curing commercial and industrial materials like inks is creating a positive outlook for the market.
