Ultraviolet lamps (UV) emit ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength that ranges from 400 nm to 100 nm. UV lights are used for curing UV adhesive and are classified into three wavelengths including UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Furthermore, UV lamps are used in various applications including wastewater treatment, water treatment, air treatment, surface disinfection, food & beverages, etc. There are different types of UV lamps including UV mercury lamp, UV LEDs, etc. The global UV lamps market focuses on seven regions namely North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, APEJ, Japan, and Middle East & Africa.
The global UV lamps market is estimated to be valued at US$ 349.2 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.3% over the forecast period (2021-2028).
Recent Developments:
In January 2021, The Lucknow Metro has introduced UV lamps to sanitize even minuscule nooks and corners of coaches to ensure an ultra-hygienic public transport system.
In Sep 2020, Major light-maker Ushio Inc. launched an ultraviolet lamp that can kill the coronavirus without harming human health.

Global UV Lamps Market - Drivers
Increasing social infrastructure investment is expected to drive growth of the global UV lamps market during the forecast period. Proactive initiatives by governments across the world for the establishment of new water and wastewater treatment plants have increased the adoption of UV equipment. It is typically used at the secondary level of the treatment process. This, in turn, is expected to drive growth of the global UV lamps market during the forecast period. For instance, in March 2015, a municipality in Dubai, UAE, announced plans to upgrade the Al Aweer sewage treatment plant in order to improve the performance of the entire sewerage system in the city. In September 2015, Murfreesboro Water & Sewer Department announced plans to expand its wastewater treatment plant at Tennessee, U.S., in order to distribute reclaimed water to the city.
Enhanced safety measures offered through regulations is expected to propel the global UV lamps market growth over the forecast period. UV technology is cost-effective and offers enhanced efficacy, low operating cost, and has a low environmental impact. As matter of fact, it is more effective than other disinfectant technologies such as chlorination process and ozonization. Moreover, stringent regulatory policies from government authorities such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NSF International, International Ultraviolet Association (IUA), National Water Research Institute and Water Research Foundation, Austrian ONORM, and The Deutsche Vereinigung des Gas- und Wasserfaches (DVGW) have led to increased use of UV lamps for treatment of wastewater.
Market Opportunities
Surface and air disinfection treatment for micro-biological cleanliness in pharmaceutical, medical, forensic, and biological laboratories have vital importance. These laboratories need minimal containment levels for ongoing processes, which in turn, can provide lucrative growth opportunities for market players.
Apart from the aforementioned sectors, hospitality is another major sector, which is increasingly adopting UV lamps. It is typically used in air, surface, and water treatment applications. It is a rapidly emerging sector, where major players can capitalize on opportunities by provide novel solutions and gain a competitive edge in the market.

Market Trends
Key manufacturers in the market are focused on research and development activities, in order to novel UV LED solutions for large-scale disinfection applications. Although UV LEDs are at the nascent stage, it is expected significant gain traction in small-scale treatment and disinfection of water, air, and surface during the forecast period. Local small disinfection equipment manufacturers are focusing on promoting UV LED-based disinfection products for residential applications such as water purifiers.
The demand for amalgam lamps is expected to increase during the forecast period, owing to various benefits such as reduction of lamp count, higher output, space required, and efficiency over conventional UV lamps. For instance, in 2012, Amalgam UV lamp-based disinfection systems were installed at Kuryanovskiye wastewater treatment plant, Moscow to treat wastewater and minimize the city’s environmental impact.

Key Takeaways of the Graph:
Global UV Lamps Market - Restraints
Short life span of UV bulbs is expected to restrain growth of the global UV lamps market during the forecast period. The average lifespan of a UV lamp is around two years. Currently, on average, UV lamps generate a dosage level of approximately 60,000 mW-s/cm2 and have to be replaced if the dosage drops below minimum requirement of 30,000 mW-s/cm2 for effective functioning.
Constant preference for conventional methods is expected to hinder the global UV lamps market growth over the forecast period. Conventional methods for disinfection of water such as oxidation and chlorination are still being adopted in water and wastewater treatment in certain emerging regions such as Eastern Europe and Latin America. This is owing to a lack of adequate funding and proper infrastructure for advanced wastewater treatment methods.

Key Developments
The main advantage of UV lamps is that they provide the perfect source of light for many different areas. For example, they are very useful in providing an all-around source of light for those working in the garden or for use in the garden to help identify hard-to-reach items. For this reason, it is especially important to make sure that the area in which the lamp is situated is well-lit at all times. Low voltage lighting provides the most reliable illumination and is also easy to install. You can even find UV lamps that have been designed specifically to work well in areas where there are reduced levels of light due to a lack of sunlight. Another benefit of these types of lamps is the fact that they do not have any moving parts that can potentially break. When shopping for outdoor lamps one should always bear this in mind. Moving parts can pose a safety risk if the device breaks, which could result in a fire or injury.
Market Dynamics
Growing concerns over safe drinking water in emerging economies are expected to boost the global UV lamps market growth over the forecast period. Palatable drinking water is one of the basic needs for the population where water treatment plants use different technologies to provide safe drinking water. UV water disinfection technology is one of the most widely used techniques where UV light of wavelength 253.7 nanometers is used for disinfection of viruses, bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms, UV light completely destroys these microorganisms, which makes them unable to grow further
Furthermore, the long life and low power consumption of UVC LED-based UV disinfection equipment are expected to accelerate the global UV lamps market growth over the forecast period.
