The North America UV disinfection equipment market growth analysis includes the assessment of Canada and the United States. The United States houses several leading pharmaceutical companies. Also, most of the world’s semiconductor products are tested and designed in the US. In addition, organizations like the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) focus on the efficacy of UV-based techniques. Besides, the US is the largest healthcare market as of 2021, with over 6,000 hospitals. Such factors boost growth opportunities for the analyzed market in the US.

The North America UV disinfection equipment market scope includes component and application. The application segment includes water treatment, surface disinfection, air treatment, and other applications.

Infection through surface contact is among the most common causes of food contamination with bacteria and mold in the food & beverage industry. Microorganisms residing in the equipment and their surfaces come in contact with foodstuffs, thereby significantly reducing their shelf life. Additionally, bacteria like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E.coli present health risks. Accordingly, ultraviolet disinfection systems can be deployed in the food industry to disinfect equipment like cutting blades, deboning & conveyor belts, machine housings, knives, and other food preparation surfaces.

UV light can facilitate continuous disinfection through a module designed to expose the equipment to UV light on surfaces like conveyor belts in the meat processing and meat industries. This will make the microorganisms inactive. In addition, this can minimize the number of complete washdowns needed during processing, thereby saving water & energy costs and resources.

Further, UV disinfection systems’ exposure to the food packaging products like foils, lids, caps, boxes, and containers aids in decontaminating the surface of these products. This further prevents the contact of microbes with food products. Similarly, UV sterilization equipment is used to enhance the quality of bottled water and juices.

In addition, many suffer from hospital-acquired infections (HAI) through various sources in hospitals, including contaminated hands and uncleaned surfaces. Accordingly, healthcare facilities use several disinfection technologies. For instance, light-based disinfection in the form of UV-C irradiation has been in use for sterilizing scientific laboratories, operating rooms, and hospital spaces. Moreover, the demand for UV-C surface disinfection products has surged in recent years, given their ability to disinfect all the surfaces in a room at once using minimum labor.

The water treatment segment further encompasses wastewater and usable water. UV technology is used to disinfect water in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems in large and commercial residential installations. UV systems are effective in preventing Legionellosis. It is caused by Legionella bacteria that thrive in the lukewarm, stale water present in HVAC units, swimming pools, and the circulation piping of residential & commercial installations.

Some of the eminent companies in the North America UV disinfection equipment market are Danaher Corporation, Australian Ultra Violet Services Pvt Ltd, Calgon Carbon Corporation, etc.

Calgon Carbon Corporation manufactures and supplies water treatment and activated carbon systems. Its products find application in municipal water treatment, food & beverage, environmental air treatment, ballast water treatment, etc. The company has an operational presence in the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the US.
