Impact of COVID-19 

The covid pandemic has led to heightened sense of awareness for disinfection. This has led to increased usage of safe UV-C solutions that are able to effectively reduce harmful microorganism without the use of chemicals. As the COVID-19 pandemic is still posing a threat to worldwide communities, UVC light incorporated products for disinfection are becoming more and more popular. Common applications include upper-room UVC disinfection integrated with lighting fixtures or air cleaners, UVC light embedded robots, UVC light boxes and other portable disinfecting products. It has been widely used, primarily in water purification systems and healthcare facilities. Now, it also has become an effective weapon in the fight against COVID-19. UV light proves to be more effective against COVID-19 due to its ability to interact with the DNA and RNA molecules in the coronavirus, making them inactive and therefore, non-infectious. Moreover, with proper placement, shielding and safety precautions, the application of UV-C light can be an effective tool against COVID-19. This has resulted in boosting the market growth for UV-LED market as a whole during the pandemic crises.
