The global UV lasers market size is projected to be USD 252.1 million in 2022. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the UV lasers market experiencing higher demand across all regions than anticipated. As per our research, the market is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 400.1 million by 2028 with a CAGR of 8.0% during the review period.

UV lasers are lasers (or other laser-based light sources) that generate ultraviolet light. Some of them can reach very high output power levels. Ultraviolet (UV) laser optics are vital for several applications such as semiconductor processing, fluorescence microscopy, and laser micromachining.  Ultraviolet laser beams are radiated and scanned on a thin layer of photopolymerization polymer solution that can produce two-dimensional structures.

COVID 19 IMPACT

"Decreased Demand of Automotive Vehicles Decelerated the Market Growth"

The COVID 19 outbreak adversely affected the UV lasers market and the industry had to adopt digital tools nonetheless there was not enough demand for lasers as almost all modes of trade were shut down and there was barely any use for UV lasers. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with digital tools experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The government had imposed restrictions due to which companies had to focus on supply chains and distribution sales channels to manufacture and ship systems. There was a decline in automotive vehicles which decelerated the market’s growth.

However, with some adverse impacts on the company, the pandemic also brought some new uses for UV lasers. High-efficiency UV LEDs could sterilize pathogens, including COVID-19.  The high-efficiency deep-UV AlGaN UV radiation as a means to deactivate and disinfect airborne viruses within hospital settings and isolated mass scale quarantine facilities. UV radiation is also being considered for disinfection of contaminated surfaces.

LATEST TRENDS

"UV Lasers are Taking over the Healthcare Industry"

UV lasers are now becoming immensely useful in the healthcare industry because a vast number of medical applications work with the help of UV lasers such as microdissection, Forensic, Photo-Ablation, Nanotechnology. These are some new trends that are brought into the UV laser industry and play an important role in increasing the demand for production of lasers.  The features of laser diodes such as low power requirement and portable size and weight with high efficiency are increasing their adoption in various applications of industries, which significantly contributes to the growth of the global laser diode market.

These developments have become more appealing and many new ways of using these materials are widely available. It will cover all lighting applications very soon, starting with normal light source to rear-lighting of fluid crystal displays on TV, laptops, mobile phones and others. The solid-state UV light emitters are environmentally-friendly compared with existing UV sources, such as mercury lamps, and can provide significantly greater power density and lower heat levels.
