UV germicidal technology has existed for decades, and it is a proven and efficient broad-spectrum sterilization technology. However, in the past decades, the styles and types of commercial and household UV devices on the market have changed very little. So, the styles of many UV sterilization products are relatively old. This year, the development of ultraviolet disinfection equipment ushered in an opportunity. Due to the influence of the COVID virus, UV disinfection products have developed explosively in 2020. Whether it is the market demand or recognition, or the style and quantity of newly developed products, are growing rapidly.

FuturizedUV Disinfection Robot

Due to the epidemic, there is a huge demand for disinfection in a variety of public and commercial places, including hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, and public vehicles. But high concentrations of disinfectants and ultraviolet rays are usually not suitable for exposure to common areas with people directly. So, some technology companies that specialize in robotics and AI technology combine UV disinfection with robotics to replace manual disinfection of large sites. According to statistics, in a short period of half a year from the beginning of this year to now, dozens of companies around the world have developed hundreds of ultraviolet disinfection robots. These futuristic robots can not only replace people to perform high-intensity ultraviolet disinfection without damage, advanced AI technology can also help them automatically plan work, design itinerant routes, and do disinfection while there is no one.

User-friendly Home UV Sterilizer

All kinds of household UV sterilizers are the common products in the market, but the upgrading of these products has been slow in previous years. In a long time, the more common in the market is tableware disinfection cabinet, UV disinfection cabinet, and so on. Their styles and function are relatively ancient and rough. Some of the products even look like old lab devices.

In recent years, some new changes have taken place in the products on the market. And these changes have been exacerbated by surging market demand due to the influence of the COVID virus this year. According to incomplete statistics, in the past few months, the styles of newly listed disinfection products have increased by more than 300%, and most of them were developed and put into production in the last two months. For example, the styles of portable UVC sterilizer wand sold on Amazon have multiplied several times in a month, and the shapes are more fashionable and novel. In addition, due to the impact of the COVID epidemic, the scope of application of newly listed disinfection products is also rapidly subdivided and expanded. Besides the common baby bottle sterilizer dryer, desktop UV sterilizer box, and other products, there are also many products in new fields such as home UV mask sterilizers, UV makeup brush sanitizer and so on. Of course, in addition to being better-looking and more comprehensive in scope, functional design is also becoming more user-friendly.

The COVID epidemic has brought a strong driving force to the market development of UV sterilizer products. Some experts predict that even after the epidemic, the development and market growth of UV products will continue for a long time.
