UV-measurement strips are small adhesive strips that are used to measure the level of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. They are typically made from a type of paper or plastic material that contains a chemical indicator that reacts to UV light. The strips are often used in outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, or sunbathing to monitor UV exposure.
The UV-measurement strip market has grown in recent years due to the increased awareness of the harmful effects of UV radiation on skin health. The market is primarily driven by the demand from outdoor enthusiasts, such as hikers, campers, and beachgoers, who want to monitor their UV exposure and protect their skin from sunburn and skin damage. Therefore, the market is predicted to expand during the forecast period. Additionally, the market is segmented by type, by application, and geographical expansion of the market. Based on type, with evaluation unit and without evaluation unit are presented in the market. Besides, industrial, medical, environment monitoring, and photochemistry, polymer materials are the most popular application segment to create maximum demand for the strips.
COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Disrupts the Production and Distribution of These Strips
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the production and distribution of UV-measurement strips. Many manufacturers and distributors were forced to shut down their operations temporarily due to lockdowns and other restrictions. This led to a shortage of UV-measurement strips in the market, which resulted in higher prices and longer lead times for customers. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the UV-measurement strip market has shown resilience and adaptability. As the world emerges from the pandemic, the market is expected to rebound and continue to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing awareness of the importance of UV protection for skin health.
Latest Trends
"Trend of Wearable UV Sensors and Smartphone Apps Broad the Market Prospect"
The UV-measurement strip market has seen several recent innovations and trends, driven by advances in technology and the increasing demand for more accurate and convenient UV measurement tools. Some companies have developed wearable sensors that can monitor UV exposure in real time and provide alerts when UV levels reach dangerous levels. These sensors can be worn on the wrist, clipped to clothing, or attached to hats or sunglasses. Furthermore, lately, UV-measurement apps are being launched by many companies. Such smartphone apps are available that can provide UV measurement data based on location and time of day. These apps can help users to monitor UV exposure and protect their skin from sunburn and skin damage. Thereby, these innovative factors and trends are expected to support the demand for these strips which will contribute to the U-measurement strip market growth during the forecast between 2022 to 2028.
