Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2016 -- UV disinfection equipment, as a means of treating and purifying air, water, and surfaces, is rapidly replacing chlorine and other conventional chemical-based disinfectants. The market for UV disinfection equipment has witnessed strong demand in recent years owing to the many benefits it presents over conventional treatment systems.

UV disinfection equipment has low installation and operational cost, is easy to use, and is residue-free while functioning. Cost-effectiveness is the primary force driving consumer demand. Apart from this, factors such as rising toxicity of industrial water wastes, growing awareness among consumers regarding environment-friendly and energy-efficient disinfection systems, shrinking sources of fresh water, increasing need of developing countries to provide safe drinking water, and favorable government initiatives have also contributed to the growth of the global UV disinfection equipment market.

On the downside, the widespread use of low-cost chlorine-based disinfectants and the diminishing share of surface and food and beverages disinfection applications are expected to restrain the growth of the global UV disinfection equipment market in the coming years.

Water Treatment most Common Application of UV Disinfection Equipment

The application areas of UV disinfection equipment include water treatment, air treatment, surface disinfection, wastewater treatment, and process water treatment. UV disinfection equipment also finds application in industries such as food and beverages, healthcare, chemicals, and electronics. UV disinfection equipment is most commonly used in water and wastewater treatment and these segments hold the largest share of the UV disinfection equipment market. The availability of fresh and safe drinking water is a global concern, which has resulted in the growing need for treatment of wastewater. The increasing prevalence of chlorine-susceptible microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia has spiked the incidence of gastrointestinal illnesses, diarrhea, and giardiasis across the globe. International regulatory bodies have encouraged the development of new and advanced water purification and disinfection technologies to battle the spread of waterborne diseases, thereby boosting the demand for UV disinfection equipment.
