UV LED Market by UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, UV Curing (Printing, Adhesives), Disinfection, Medical & Scientific (Equipment Sterilization, Tanning, Teeth Brightening), Security, Lithography, Power Output (Less than 1w, 1W-5W, Above 5W) Global - Forecast to 2030

The UV LED Market is projected at USD 1.23 billion in 2025 and is likely to reach USD 2.16 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. The growing demand for UV LEDs is primarily driven by their application in disinfection, sterilization, and curing processes. These LEDs offer significant advantages over traditional UV lamps, including lower power consumption, longer lifespan, and reduced environmental impact.

“By technology, the UV-C technology segment is expected to hold a significant share of the UV LED market during the forecast period.”

UV-C technology is expected to hold a significant share of the UV LED market during the forecast period due to its strong germicidal properties, increasing demand for chemical-free disinfection, and rising use in water and air purification systems. Strong germicidal properties make UV-C highly effective at killing or inactivating viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, making it the preferred choice for disinfection across healthcare, industrial, and residential sectors. The growing demand for chemical-free disinfection is accelerating the shift toward UV-C LEDs, as they offer a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical-based methods such as chlorine. Furthermore, the integration of UV-C LEDs into water filters, HVAC systems, and portable sanitizers is rising due to their compact size, energy efficiency, and ability to neutralize harmful microorganisms. These features ensure reliable and sustainable purification, contributing to the growing adoption of UV-C technology in diverse applications.

“By application, disinfection segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the UV LED market during the forecast period.”

During the forecast period, the disinfection segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the UV LED market due to growing awareness of hygiene and infection control, increasing demand for chemical-free sterilization solutions, and rising integration of UV-C LEDs in healthcare and consumer applications. Growing awareness of hygiene and infection control increases the demand for effective and reliable disinfection solutions in public, healthcare, and residential settings, especially in the wake of global health concerns. The increasing demand for chemical-free sterilization promotes UV-C LEDs as a safe, eco-friendly, and residue-free alternative to traditional disinfection methods such as chlorine or alcohol-based chemicals. Furthermore, the rising integration of UV-C LEDs into healthcare and consumer products such as air purifiers, surface sanitizers, and water treatment systems broadens their application scope and accelerates adoption, significantly contributing to market growth.

“The US is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

The US is expected to witness the highest CAGR in the UV LED market in North America during the forecast period due to rising demand for advanced disinfection technologies in healthcare, water treatment, and air purification. Increasing awareness of hygiene has accelerated the adoption of UV-C LED solutions. Additionally, strong government support for sustainable and energy-efficient technologies and ongoing R&D investments by key players are driving market growth. The presence of leading manufacturers and rapid adoption of UV curing in industries such as electronics and printing further boost the US market, positioning it as a major contributor to global expansion.
