UV Air Purifiers Grow Popular in Cold Regions to Combat COVID-19
Ultraviolet C (UV-C) light air purification is gaining prominence to help protect against potential airborne pathogens such as COVID-19, pneumonia, and influenza. Such trends are creating incremental opportunities for manufacturers in the UV air purifiers market. Though facemasks and social distancing are effective in combating the spread of coronavirus, UVC light disinfection is emerging as an efficacious method to prevent airborne transmission.
Companies in the UV air purifiers market are scurrying to leverage incremental opportunities in severe cold weather areas where such devices are in demand, since recommendations for socializing outdoors is not practical. An increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases after first dose of vaccine is another driver of the UV air purifiers for indoor air sterilization.

Medical Grade HEPA Filtration Solves Issues of Low UV Dosage, Interference
Despite many advantages of UV air purifiers, these devices are under scrutiny by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for their practical efficacy in the killing of pathogens and viruses including COVID-19. Issues such as low dosage due to bulb coatings and too much interference with the HEPA (High-efficiency Particulate Air) filter result in the germs to stay unaffected by the device. Such problems have led to the adoption of medical grade HEPA filtration as a safe alternative.
The UV air purifiers market is expected to reach US$ 2.5 Bn by the end of 2031. Manufacturers are increasing their R&D efforts to combine UV light with medical grade HEPA filtration to gain approval by the CDC for future UV air purifiers.
