UV-C LED market is good, LED big factory "brush up"

According to the latest report, the market value of UV-C LED sterilization and purification in 2016 is $28 million, and it will reach 257 million US dollars in 2021, and the annual growth rate is as high as 56%. As more LED plants launch new products at the end of this year, it will accelerate the development of UV-C LED technology. Wu Yingjie pointed out that the main UV-C LED plant at the present stage is the US, Japan, and South Korean manufacturers, and Japan Asia is expected to launch UV-C LED products in the fourth quarter, and the plant, such as light and research crystal, will also launch 265 to 275nm (nanomi) UV-C LED in November, and use short wave as the main force in the application of sterilization and purification market. Wu Yingjie said that as UV-C can be used in the market for food preservation, air purification, water purification, and other markets, the potential demand is astonishing. However, UV-C LED product technology threshold is very high, no matter in the epitaxy, chip technology, packaging and market acceptance are faced with many challenges, so now UV-C LED products in addition to the main quartz glass packaging products, also launched a low-cost promotional version with silica gel package, its small current, short life, only It is suitable for the use of low-cost consumer products, as a manufacturer to promote marketing. Wu Yingjie further pointed out that, in view of the overall ultraviolet LED market, due to the active introduction of UV LED products this year to the application of light curing, sterilization and purification market, the estimated value will grow to $166 million, which will reach US $555 million by 2021, and the annual growth rate will be as high as 27%. 265nm to 275nm short wave long UV LED, and will be launched in November this year to launch a sterilization and purification application product. Because of the high threshold of short wavelength UVC technology and application in special high order fields such as medical sterilization and biometrics, in the application of water purification, big factories in Japan have been put into development greatly, and the market size is expected to be accelerated and magnified, while the LED manufacturers in Taiwan are expected to compete with the international big factories under the price advantage.
