INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

It is estimated that the global disinfection markets addressable by ultraviolet (UV) light technology represent more than $500 billion. The potential annual market for water and wastewater disinfection exceeds $400 billion globally, while the annual market for air purification is nearly $100 billion globally.

This BCC Research report provides an in-depth analysis of the world market for UV equipment across a range of applications, including the treatment of water (municipal and residential drinking water, pool and spa water, water for aquaculture and agriculture, and industrial process water), municipal wastewater, and air and surface disinfection. Each of these end uses is discussed in detail and includes market size estimates and forecast growth rates for a 5-year period. For the largest markets, North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, the study also provides an examination by world region with market values and growth estimates.

Technical and market drivers are considered in evaluating the current worth of the markets and in forecasting growth and trends over the next 5 years. The conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets, applications, industry structure, and dynamics along with technological developments.
