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. 1. 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.

• Whereas 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. (Source)
• California City welcomes UV-C Technology to its
  HVAC 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.
• 4. 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.
