Thanks to compactness, lower cost of ownership and environmentally friendly composition, UV LEDs have started and will continue to replace traditional mercury lamps in current applications, and will also open many new applications, especially portable ones.

For these reasons, UV LEDs business is expected to grow from $25M to more than $100M in 2016 at a growth rate of almost + 30%.

In 2010, LEDs continue to be sold mostly in the UVA/B wavelengths (especially in upper wavelengths, between 365 to 400 nm). More than 90% of the UV LED market (outside of R&D) was covered by UV curing, counterfeit detection, medical and instrumentation applications requiring UV A/B sources. UVC LEDs are mainly sold today for R&D and scientific instrumentation purpose.

UVA (400-315nm light wavelength) business is currently the main UV LED market and will remain so for at least the next 5 years:

about 90% of the market in 2010
about 80% of the market in 2016

This report presents the detailed major market metrics of the current traditional UV lamp business, describing the targeted applications, the key players, the volumes and related market size of each segment. It gives the possible total accessible market for UV LED, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of this technology over the current established products. It describes the recent progress in AlN single-crystal substrates as well as the UV LED performance roadmap.
