UV Air Purifiers Market

UV Air Purifiers Market: Overview

The market size for UV Air Purifiers was USD 12.1 billion in 2021, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9 percent during the forecast period. The UV (Ultraviolet) air purifiers cleanse the air of harmful microorganisms by using Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI). These air purifier devices emit UV–C rays, ranging from 100 to 280 nm (nanometers). As a result, these wavelength breaks disintegrate the DNA of viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms, which prohibits them from reproducing. The color of the UV light is based on the emitter material and may not be visible to the naked eye.

These purifiers are the electrical appliance that aids in refining the air quality by removing the contaminants/microorganisms in an enclosed space. The numerous benefits of air purifiers are providing a toxin-free environment, reducing the risk of different respiratory diseases, maintaining the air quality, alleviating smells or odors, and protecting from volatile organic compounds such as dust, smoke, gases, harmful chemicals, etc. Therefore, it is used in businesses, retail locations, homes, government agencies, public areas such as spas, health clubs, beauty parlors, hotels, and malls. UV air purifiers are appealing as they quickly clean TVs, shelves and other sites where dust might get collected. A UV air purifier is typically a combination of particulate filters such as High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and a forced air system. The report analyses the growth of the UV air purifier market, which is currently growing due to different drivers across the globe. The UV air purifier's sensitivity, which produces highly precise results, is a major factor in its manufacturing. This advancement will increase market penetration for UV air purifiers. Several industries, for example, commercial, residential, industrial, and others, use UV air purifiers.

The market is expected to be experiencing growth by rising urban pollution levels and rising airborne illnesses. In addition, greater health consciousness is anticipated to support market expansion, an improved living standard, and rising disposable income. As a result of the lockdown measures put in place by the governments of many nations in anticipation of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020, sales of household equipment like air purifiers, cleaning appliances, cooking appliances, and water filtration systems have increased. Global air purifier sales have surged due to growing awareness of healthy living.

UV Air Purifiers Market: COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has negatively impacted the business of almost all industries. As a result, the fundamental equipment and materials mostly dependent on imports from other countries got delayed as the regulatory bodies were compelled to impose strict lockdown. Also, the social distancing norms forced the industries to work with minimal workers, which affected the production rate of the industries.

However, there was an increase in the demand for UV air purifiers in the medical sector for purifying the air due to the rapid rise in diseases. Hence, post COVID-19 pandemic, the heightened interest in immunity and hygiene has churned the market remarkably. The concern for poor air quality has fast-tracked the air purifier market rise and the air purifier manufacturing capacities.

UV Air Purifiers Market: Drivers

Increasing Consumer Awareness to Drive Market Growth

Due to the rising prevalence of viral infections and airborne infectious diseases in recent years, consumer awareness of health issues has grown quickly. Additionally, over the past ten years, the development of numerous deadly epidemics, such as the H1N1 swine flu and the H5N1 avian influenza, have encouraged the expansion of the air purifier industry. The market is expanding because of the high demand from homes, hospitals, and hotels. Due to the rapid proliferation of COVID-19 in home and commercial settings, air purifier use has increased significantly. Due to consumers' increasing demand for health and wellness products, the air purifier industry has grown by 100% this year compared to last year. The development of air-cleaning technology has made it simple to regulate indoor air quality as the world seeks to reduce pollution.

Additionally, expanding distribution channels, such as online and brick-and-mortar retailers, encourages market expansion and results in various air purifiers available at various price points. The air purifier market is anticipated to grow over the next three years as customers prioritize their health and well-being, and air purifiers are readily available on e-commerce platforms. The increase in disposable income and the escalating government spending on massive infrastructure projects boost the consumer electronics sector.

Government Policies and Support Driving Market Growth

Numerous governments, which focus on controlling air pollution, are anticipated to boost the industry over the forecast period by introducing strict rules and standards for indoor air quality. Additionally, several international air pollution control initiatives launched by governments and NGOs are anticipated to fuel market expansion throughout the projection period. Governments of numerous nations have used lockdown measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the rules around working from home and staying at home have increased the demand for air purifiers. Furthermore, since people are looking for ways to stop the spread of coronavirus, there is a sizable demand for air purifiers from medical facilities, academic institutions, and governmental organizations.

UV Air Purifiers Market: Restraints

Technological Limitations for Monitoring Air Quality to Hamper Market Growth

Most air purifiers can only monitor air quality in small, enclosed areas. The technology fails to perform the air purifier's three-dimensional data acquisition capabilities. Most air quality monitoring systems have passive monitoring sensor nodes, which require manual and periodic data updates compared to active monitoring sensor nodes. These active monitoring sensor nodes are capable of automated data acquisition, data storage capacity, and data transfer through wireless or other networks. The absence of these active monitoring sensor nodes results in technological limitations, as well as in the presence of it leads to the high cost of these products, which is expected to restrain the growth of the UV air purifier market during the forecast period.

UV Air Purifiers Market: Segment Overview

Commercial Segment to Dominate Market due to Increasing Demand

In 2021, the commercial sector dominated the market and contributed almost 55.0% of total revenue. Hospitals, workplaces, hotels, schools, theatres, malls, conference centers, and other leisure facilities are used in commercial settings where air purifiers. Hotels and restaurants utilize air purifiers with activated carbon and HEPA to remove smoke, odor, and airborne particles, enhancing the air quality in the spaces. To maintain indoor air quality for patients and staff working in these facilities, allergens, airborne pathogens, and odors are removed from the air using air purifiers in dentistry and boarding kennels, veterinary hospitals, medical laboratories, animal kennels, hospitals, and clinics. As a result of air purifiers' capacity to slow the transmission of infectious diseases, their demand has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic at numerous healthcare institutions throughout the world.

With Increased purchases through Retail Stores and Distributors, Offline Category Dominated Market

The air purifier market is divided into online and offline segments based on the sales channels used. The offline market sector holds a large portion of the overall market.
