The ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment market in North America is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Since the early 1970s, clean water has been a national preoccupation. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) was passed by the US Congress in 1972 to safeguard the country's waters. Due to this statute, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and comparable state agencies are authorized to regulate activities that endanger the nation's water resources. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act established a comprehensive national water strategy and a national goal to eliminate pollution discharge into navigable waters. As a result, government attempts to adopt technologically advanced, chemical-free, and environment-friendly disinfection equipment contribute to the growth in North America for UV disinfection equipment market. In addition, governments of North American countries are investing in efforts to boost their manufacturing industries. In January 2021, the US President announced the “Made in America” initiative focused on having a technologically advanced and automated manufacturing sector. With this initiative, the federal government is investing and providing incentives to businesses in the manufacturing sector, which would propel the demand for UV disinfection equipment to enhance the safety of the facilities.
In the US, increased concerns related to hygiene and safety, especially in the healthcare and food industries, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an aging population, are the key factors propelling the growth of the healthcare sector. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates in 2019, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) account for approximately 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths annually. The US government is taking several measures to combat the spread of infectious diseases. According to the CDC, as of November 2019, 36 states and the District of Columbia (DC) passed laws about preventing and reporting of HAIs. Thus, the demand for UV disinfection equipment is increasing across the region. Further, the rising pollution levels and increasing prevalence of airborne diseases in the US have boosted awareness among consumers, augmenting the UV disinfection equipment market demand for air purification.
Ultrapure water contains only H2O molecules, and hydrogen and hydroxyl (H+ and OH-) ions in equilibrium; it is processed to meet rigorous requirements and eliminate the ions other than the abovementioned ones. UV disinfection systems are used to decrease total organic carbon (TOC) levels, eliminate chlorine/chloramine, and ozone, and lower microbial load of water. UV-based disinfection systems are preferred for obtaining ultrapure water due to their efficiency, dependability, and short operating time. Ultrapure water has important applications in pharmaceuticals, solar photovoltaics, semiconductor device fabrication, and power generation industries. It is used to generate steam to drive steam turbines in the power industry.
Ultrapure water is used as a cleaning agent in semiconductor plants to prevent microchip failures. According to Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the global semiconductor industry sales increased by 0.3% in April 2023 compared to March 2023. Therefore, the demand for ultrapure water rises with the progress of the semiconductorindustry. Thus, an upsurge in the demand for ultrapure water in different industries favors UV disinfection equipment market growth.
In terms of Application, the UV disinfection equipment market research report is categorized into water disinfection, air disinfection, and surface disinfection. The water disinfection segment dominated the UV disinfection equipment market size in 2022 and is expected to continue its dominance until 2030. UV disinfection equipment is increasingly used in water disinfection systems due to its advantages over other methods. UV disinfection is a chemical-free process employed to kill microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It is a highly effective disinfection method and does not produce any harmful byproducts. Various manufacturers of UV disinfection equipment are offering water disinfection products. For instance, in February 2023, TOYODA GOSEI Co., Ltd launched a compact ultraviolet-C (UV-C) LED water purification unit. UV-C LEDs, which effectively eliminate bacteria and viruses. UV-C LED water purification unit is equipped with “WOSH”—a water-circulating portable washstand. The unit uses the water flowing inside it to cool the heat emitted by the LEDs. This reduces the number of parts for heat dissipation and makes the unit more compact. Above factors thus, supplementing the UV disinfection equipment market growth.
According to the Government of Canada, wastewater is the greater source of pollution in terms of volume to surface water in Canada due to rapid industrialization. In Canada, the growing population has increased the demand for clean, safe drinking water. Most wastewater systems are owned and operated by municipalities, which are responsible for managing the collection, treatment, and release of wastewater effluent. The government also manages the risks posed by substances listed under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (CEPA 1999). Further, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment retrieved the Municipal Wastewater Effluent Strategy in August 2020. The retrieved strategy tends review after all the waste water treatment. Thus, the awareness about the wastewater treatment demanding for the usage of UV disinfection equipment and increasing the UV disinfection equipment market size in the country.
