With the fierce competition in the led general lighting market and the continued decline in product gross profit margins, LED companies with R&D capabilities have turned to UV led and other segmented niche markets to seek new growth points and higher profits in the industry. Driven by policies and technologies, the UV-LED market will accelerate, and UV-C LEDs will replace UV-A LEDs in the future to occupy the largest market share. Chinese manufacturers have overcome numerous difficulties to accelerate their deployment in this niche market.
With the Policy and technology drive, UV LED market growth will accelerate
In 2018, the global UV LED market scale was 2 billion yuan. It is estimated that the market size will reach 6.5 billion yuan by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 35%. The main factors that promote growth are that the entry into force of the Minamata Mercury Convention in 2020 will prohibit the production, export and import of mercury-containing products. At the same time, with the maturity of UV LED technology and the decline in costs, the penetration rate of UV LEDs continues to increase.
UV-A applications account for the largest proportion, and UV-C will occupy the main market in the future
According to different wavelengths, ultraviolet (Ultra Violet) light is usually divided into three bands: UV-A (315nm-400nm), UV-B (280nm-315nm), and UV-C (200nm-280nm), each of which has each applicable field. UV-A is mainly used in curing, anti-counterfeiting, photocatalytic purification and other fields. UV-B applications include medical treatment, plant growth, etc., and UV-C band is mainly used in sterilization and purification. At present, the most widely used products on the market are UV-A LED and UV-C LED. UV curing is the main application market. As the disinfection efficiency of UV-C LED increases, its demand in the industrial field will increase. Surface sterilization, static water sterilization, and flowing water sterilization will provide more growth momentum for the market. It is estimated that by 2022, UV-CLED will occupy 70% of the market share.
European, American, Japanese and Korean companies monopolize the market, and Chinese companies accelerate their layout
China will be one of the main markets for UV LED application demand in the future, but what does not match this demand is the relatively weak domestic UV LED industry. From the perspective of global participating manufacturers, the current major players in the UV LED market are companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Domestic companies are relatively lagging behind, and many companies are switching from visible light LED to UV LED field. At present, the main domestic participating manufacturers include: chip manufacturers San’an Optoelectronics, Qingdao Jason, Jingneng Optoelectronics, etc.; packaging companies Guoxing Optoelectronics, Hongli Bingyi, Ruifeng Optoelectronics, etc. In recent years, Chinese companies have accelerated their deployment in the UV LED field. A certain market size has been formed, but there is still a big gap with Japanese, Korean, European and American manufacturers in terms of chips, technology, and patents, and there is a lot of space for improvement.
At present, UV LED printers are very popular all over the world. They are also called universal printers. They can print various materials, including wood, acrylic, ABS, PVC, glass, ceramic tiles, metal, foam board, cardboard, leather, etc., and are widely used in are mainly used in advertising industry, fashion house decoration, leather printing processing, personalized design and photo printing for all crafts and gift ware, includes the cylindrical cups,art ceramic printing, high-grade packaging, product panel printing, product logo printing, toy color printing, jigsaw puzzle color printing, product number printing, nameplate printing and photo art etc.
