Select Access Type
The market for UV disinfection of medical equipment is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 13.1% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 6,284.5 Mn by 2027.
UV light is a reliable and well-studied antimicrobial technology used to destroy the DNA inside bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In the healthcare sector, it is used to disinfect medical equipment like the stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, smartphones, glasses, wheelchair, etc. through short wavelength UV light. For instance, adjust the UV light emission instrument in whatever area it is needed (waiting room, patient’s room, bathroom, nurse station, break room, etc.) and place the medical instrument and personal items that are needed to disinfect under the UV Light shelves and start the system. The system indicates after a certain time, meaning the instruments are disinfected and ready to use.
Market Dynamics
The increasing consensus that enhanced cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces are needed in healthcare facilities is supporting the market growth. The disinfection of healthcare facilities including materials and hospital wards, operating rooms, and ICUs are considered an essential element of infection prevention programs. The rising focus of manufacturers on the development of a UV based disinfection trolley to fight against COVID-19 by stopping the spread of the virus is further bolstering the market value. The benefit associated with the UV based disinfection such as speedy decontamination of the used patient-care beds and hospital rooms before admission of subsequent occupants in order to deal with the limited availability of beds is additionally propelling the market growth.
On the other side, the low cost of conventional disinfectants as compared to UV lights is projected to restrict the growth to an extent over the estimated timeframe from 2020 to 2027.
