Description

The Global UV Disinfection System Market was valued at USD 1.49 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2035.

Rising regulatory pressure on water quality is driving this expansion, especially in the water and wastewater treatment sectors. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are implementing stricter standards to ensure safer drinking water and cleaner wastewater discharge, encouraging the adoption of efficient disinfection technologies. UV disinfection systems are increasingly preferred for their ability to inactivate a wide range of pathogens without using chemicals. Regulations such as the EPA’s Surface Water Treatment Rule in the US, European Drinking Water Directives, and similar mandates in countries like Canada, Australia, and Japan require higher pathogen reduction in both drinking water and treated wastewater. UV systems effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, meeting these regulatory demands. The global trend toward stricter water quality management, alongside the shift from traditional chlorination, is creating significant opportunities for UV disinfection solutions in both municipal and industrial applications.

The UV lamps segment will grow at a CAGR of 11.8% through 2035. Their strong adoption is driven by their role as essential replacement components and the rising integration of UV-C LED technology, which improves system performance and broadens applicability.

The municipal water and wastewater authorities segment held a 54% share, generating USD 809.5 million in 2025. This segment leads the market due to stringent regulations driving the replacement of chemical-based systems and the need for large-scale treatment against chlorine-resistant microorganisms.

United States UV Disinfection System Market held 84.5% share, generating USD 462.6 million in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% through 2035. Market expansion is supported by continuous investment in system upgrades, high labor costs favoring automated UV systems, and widespread adoption of advanced UV-C LED technologies for both water and air disinfection in commercial and municipal applications.

Major players in the Global UV Disinfection System Market include Pentair (Aquionics), Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation, Heraeus Noblelight, Industrie De Nora SPA, LIT UV Technologies, Severn Trent Services, Evoqua Water Technologies, Advanced UV Inc., Alfa Laval, Aquafine Corporation, ERMA FIRST ESK Engineering SA, Atlantium Technologies Ltd., Clean Water Technology, and Trojan Technologies Group. Companies in the Global UV Disinfection System Market are strengthening their foothold by investing in innovative UV-C LED technology to enhance efficiency and extend lifespan. They are expanding service networks and offering turnkey solutions to improve client adoption and reliability. Strategic partnerships with municipalities and industrial clients help ensure long-term contracts and recurring revenue streams. Additionally, firms are focusing on research and development to introduce energy-efficient, low-maintenance systems that meet evolving regulatory standards.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
