Abstract
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
THIS REPORT CONTAINS
- The global market for ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection equipment is
estimated to be worth $885 million in 2011, and is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% during the next 5 years. At this
rate, the overall market worth will reach $1.6 billion in 2016.
- The market for water treatment equipment is the largest and one of the
fastest growing. Valued at approximately $536 million in 2011, this market is
expected to rise at a CAGR of 11.4% and reach $921 million by 2016.
- Wastewater treatment is the fastest growing global market for UV
disinfection equipment. Market size is estimated to be worth $198 million in
2011 and growing at a CAGR of 18.2%. It is expected to reach $456 million by
2016.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
It is estimated that the global disinfection markets addressable by
ultraviolet (UV) light technology represent more than $500 billion. The
potential annual market for water and wastewater disinfection exceeds $400
billion globally, while the annual market for air purification is nearly $100
billion globally.
This BCC Research report provides an in-depth analysis of the world market for
UV equipment across a range of applications, including the treatment of water
(municipal and residential drinking water, pool and spa water, water for
aquaculture and agriculture, and industrial process water), municipal
wastewater, and air and surface disinfection. Each of these end uses is
discussed in detail and includes market size estimates and forecast growth
rates for a 5-year period. For the largest markets, North America, Europe,
and the Asia-Pacific region, the study also provides an examination by world
region with market values and growth estimates.
Technical and market drivers are considered in evaluating the current worth of
the markets and in forecasting growth and trends over the next 5 years. The
conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets,
applications, industry structure, and dynamics along with technological
developments.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
This report is intended for those who require a thorough analysis of the UV
disinfection industry that traces significant developments and forecasts
important trends, quantifies the various market sectors, and profiles
companies active in those areas.
Because of the fragmented nature of the industry, it is difficult to find
studies that gather extensive data from diverse resources and analyze it in
the context of a comprehensive document. This report contains a unique
collection of information and conclusions that are difficult to find elsewhere.
SCOPE AND FORMAT OF REPORT
The scope of this report includes an overview of the technological aspects of
air, water, and surface treatment via UV light, and an analysis of the market
for UV equipment sold into five different end uses: water (municipal and
residential drinking water, pool and spa water, water aquaculture, and
industrial process water), municipal wastewater, air, and the disinfection of
foods and beverages and surfaces. A discussion of the UV industry' s structure
and brief profiles for major participating companies also are included.
A discussion of the market by world region includes overviews of North
America, Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world. Present market status and
policies and incentives that support the industry are given for each country.
All market valuations and projections cover the years 2000 to 2016. Market
figures are based on the revenues derived from equipment sales and are
projected in 2011 constant dollars (i.e., inflation is not computed into the
projection figures). The revenue figures are derived from estimated revenues
of the key players in a particular year.
METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this
study. A comprehensive literature, patent, and Internet search was undertaken
and key industry players were queried. Research methodology was both
quantitative and qualitative. Growth rates were calculated based on existing
and proposed equipment sales during the forecast period. Key tables in the
report overview present average capital costs for digesters of various sizes
and for different UV treatment capacity additions during the survey period.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Information in this report was gleaned from many different sources. SEC
filings, annual reports, patent literature, business, scientific, and industry
journals, government reports, census information, conference literature,
patent documents, on-line resources, and industry participants have all been
researched.
ANALYST CREDENTIALS
During the past 15 years, Susan Hanft has authored more than 30 market
research reports for BCC Research in the fields of membrane technology, water
and wastewater treatment, and separations used in food and beverage
manufacture, medicine, and biotechnology.
