UV LASERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global UV Lasers market is projected at approximately USD 0.27 billion in 2025, expected to rise to approximately USD 0.29 billion in 2026, and reach nearly USD 0.54 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 8% during 2025–2034.

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.

Key Findings

COVID 19 IMPACT

Decreased Demand of Automotive Vehicles Decelerated the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the UV lasers market experiencing higher demand across all regions than anticipated. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the UV lasers market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

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.
