UV Disinfection Equipment Market Promising
Developments lie ahead of COVID-19 Good hygiene
practices have become indispensable as the
world treads cautiously into the post-pandemic
era. Resultantly, there is a growing demand for
technologies that assure efficiency in destroying
viruses and bacteria. Ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection is one such technology. It proved
its mettle in dismantling Coronavirus pathogens
at specific UV radiation wavelengths, between
200 and 280 nanometers. Post-COVID- 19, the
technology is seeping into the commercial,
residential, and water treatment sectors. As
per Inkwood Research, the global UV
disinfection equipment market is set
to reach 10144.74 million
by 2032 and record a CAGR of 7.53 during
2023-2032.

• This blog examines the varied developments
  UV disinfection technology has made beyond
  COVID-19.
• R-Zero on an Ambitious Path
• With the pandemic waning, R-Zero is eyeing bigger
  opportunities beyond COVID-19. The companys
  conviction is reinforced by ultraviolet
  light disinfections efficacy in
  minimizing the risk of transmission of
  other diseases like norovirus and influenza
  after its stint with coronavirus.
  Ultraviolet (UV) devices do not need massive
  energy and toxic chemicals. Moreover, they
  are not considered medical devices since they
  disinfect indoor settings instead of the human
  body. This means the company is relieved of
  money and time engaging with the United
  States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• Today, R-Zero offers three devices. Its
  mobile Arc device, priced at 2800,
  disinfects empty rooms. Empty because
  its UV-C light of 254 nanometers

wavelength causes a harmful impact on people. Wher
eas its two newer

• devices, Beam and Vive, are relatively
  cheaper and designed for continuous
  operations in the background. Both were launched
  in November 2021.
• Says Grant Morgan, CEO and Co-Founder of R-Zero,
  Today, we have a once-in-a- generation
  opportunity to advance the science and technology
  that has the ability to fundamentally change
  human health for the better. The
  launch of R-Zeros continuous, autonomous
  disinfection ecosystem represents the
  advancement of critical innovation that will
  drive a healthier society forward in a
  post-pandemic era. (Source)
• Furthermore, the companys customers include
  large school districts in South San
  Francisco, Texas, Fort Bend, Nevada, and Clark
  County senior facilities like Trilogy Health
  Services sports teams like the Detroit Red Wings
  and San Francisco 49ers and Omada Health.
  R-Zero has switched from leasing at an
  ultra-low cost pricing model to a more
  sustainable model of selling and charging monthly
  subscriptions to cover replacement bulbs and
  software.
• In addition, R-Zero has leveraged the
  post-pandemic trends as workplaces strive to make
  their safety and health operations
  more effective. For instance, R- Zero
  acquired CoWorkr in July 2021. It
  announced to invest in CoWorkrs
  workplace intelligence platform that actively
  works to protect occupants.
• CoWorkrs sensors enable unprecedented visibility
  of real-time risks within a space. Add to this,
  R-Zeros category-defining disinfection
  solutions. The end result is a closed-loop
  ecosystem that can autonomously act to lessen the
  risks.
• Grant Morgan observes, Creating and
  maintaining physical spaces that promote
  productivity and health is both the objective and
  obligation of every organization. R- Zeros
  acquisition of CoWorkr brings a layer of data and
  intelligence to our biosafety platform that
  enables us to create smart and healthy
  buildings designed for how people actually
  interact. (Source)
• Miles to Go for Signify with UV-C Lighting
• Signify believes that the true potential of
  UV-C lighting is yet to be realized. It
  advocates strengthening UV-C lightings foothold
  in a post-pandemic world as part of Europes
  recovery plans. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) is an
  electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths
  between 100 and 280 nanometers. It is highly
  efficient in thwarting the RNA and DNA of
  viruses at a wavelength of 254 nanometers,
  rendering them harmless and incapable.
• However, UV-C lightings antimicrobial potential
  is not new. The need for technology was only
  confined to niche markets until recently, i.e.,
  COVID-19. Subsequently, UV- C finds a strong
  case for mitigating varied viruses, with
  the world inching toward a post-pandemic
  world. As a result, Signify believes that
  the technology should be part of Europes
  national recovery plans.
• Says Emile van Dijk, the head of Signifys
  UV-C team, we should not overlook the
  disinfection power of UV-C to thwart other
  serious airborne infections such as seasonal
  flu1 and tuberculosis2, which cause deaths
  and sickness every year.

• California City welcomes UV-C Technology to its HV
  AC Systems
• Santa Claritas city government fully embraced
  UV-C technology during COVID-19. Now, it is
  included in the HVAC systems of city-owned
  buildings. Besides, the technology has enjoyed
  the long support of Mayor Laurene Weste.
• A recent study presented by Gabriele
  Messina, Ph.D., at the annual conference of
  the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology
  of America (SHEA) reveals that UV-C
  devices can drastically reduce
  pathogens in colony-forming units
  (CFUs) by 97.3. (Source)
• Santa Clarita is installing UV-C in new
  HVAC systems in 21 city buildings. The HVAC
  systems with UV-C technology will enhance
  ventilation inside the building and deliver
  cleaner air.
• Chinas UV-Based Advanced Oxidation Systems
  for Urban Water Supplies A First for the World

On February
4th,
2021, the China Association of Machinery Industry
for

• Environmental Protection released the
  standard for Ultraviolet (UV)-based
  advanced oxidation systems for urban water
  supplies (T/CAMIE 01-2021). As far as
  UV-based advanced oxidation systems are
  concerned, it is the first national standard
  globally.
• The standard lays out a technical basis for
  adopting UV-based advanced oxidation
  technologies in China. It is anticipated to
  help operate, implement, and design UV-
  based advanced oxidation technologies to
  enhance the water safety and quality of
  urban water supplies in China.
• Such developments are estimated to benefit
  the global UV disinfection equipment market
  growth.
