UV-C LED market optimistic, LED big factory "ready to fight"

According to the latest report, the market value of UV-C LED sterilization and purification in 2016 amounted to US $28 million, and in 2021, it will reach US $257 million, with a compound annual growth rate of 56%. As more LED plants launch new products by the end of this year, it will speed up the development of UV-C LED technology. Wu Yingjie pointed out that at present, the main UV-C LED plants are the manufacturers of the United States, Japan and South Korea, and Japan Asia is expected to launch UV-C LED products in the fourth quarter. The Taiwan plant, such as Guang and Jing, will also launch 265 to 275nm (UV-C) LED in November, with short wave as the main force applied to the market of sterilization and purification. Wu Yingjie said, because UV-C can be used in food preservation, air purification, water purification and other markets, the potential demand is amazing. However, the technical threshold of UV-C LED products is quite high, and it faces many challenges no matter in the field of epitaxy, wafer technology, packaging and market acceptance. Therefore, the UV-C LED products in the market are also offering a low price promotion version with silica gel package in addition to the main quartz glass packaging products. Suitable for low cost consumer products, as a manufacturer to promote marketing. Wu Yingjie further pointed out that in the overall ultraviolet LED market, the output value of UV LED products will grow to US $166 million this year, and will reach US $555 million by 2021, and the annual compound growth rate will reach 27%. We will cooperate with research and development to develop 265nm to 275nm short wave length UV LED, and we will introduce bactericidal and purifying products in November this year. Due to the high threshold of short wavelength UVC technology and its application in special high-order fields such as medical sterilization and biometrics, Japan's Dachang has invested heavily in the development of water purification applications. It is expected to drive the market scale to speed up, while Taiwan LED manufacturers are expected to compete with international factories to seize the market under price advantage.
