These factors are propelling the demand for UV curing systems among the food a& beverage industry over the years. Additionally, the rise in adoption of UV curing systems for bonding applications across the wood industry owing to its fast dry nature is further propelling the growth of the market.
End User-Based Market Insights
Based on end users, the UV curing system market is segmented into automotive, healthcare, electronics, and others. In the automotive industry, UV curing is mainly used to dry the paints faster and increase the curing speed. Since automobile companies' painting/drying capacity is one of the main blockages in most OEM lines and body shops, UV curing technology provides an outstanding time-saving procedure for the companies. This method is used in various other applications in the automotive industry, such as varnish on the body or scratch-proofing coating on the exterior or interior components, anticorrosion coating on tanks or metal springs, deburring of plastic parts, screen printing on glass panes, and adhesives on trim panels or rear spoilers. For instance, Heraeus Holding uses UV curing to provide various automotive sector services. It offers UV curing costing for headlamp lenses, lighting reflector housing, exterior body components, and underhood components. This increases the use of UV curing in the automotive sector. Therefore, the UV curing system market for the automotive segment is expected to grow in the coming years.
UV LED Curing Association, American Coatings Association, and International LED-UV Association play an influential role in the UV curing system market ecosystem. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the UV curing system market growth to a considerable extent. The outbreak affected business revenues and global supply chains due to factory shutdowns, temporary closure of borders, and trade restrictions across the globe. However, this market is expected to do well as the situation is coming back to normalcy.
