Research and Markets has included a new research report titled ‘UV LED Market 2012’ to its catalogue. The report analyzes the UV LED market and the associated epiwafers and AlN substrates in detail.

According to the report, UV LEDs will account for 28% of the total market for UV lamps by 2016. They have been substituting conventional UV lamps for use in incumbent applications and will also be used in new applications, particularly in portable ones, due to their eco-friendly composition, low ownership cost and compactness. Thus, the market for UV LEDs is estimated to reach a value of over $150 million by 2016 from 2011 value of $32.5 million.

They have been adopting different strategies to acquire the highest share of this market.

Asian companies, particularly those operating in Taiwan and Japan, are the leading players at the device level in the UV LED market. However, the market is also witnessing the entry of Chinese companies, which rise competition, decrease prices, and allow mass applications at middle and long term.

UV curing business is the most dynamic and significant application market for UVA. Photocatalyst air purifier and counterfeit detection are the other major applications for UVA.
