The growing demand for sterilization and disinfection techniques drives the industry growth.
The increasing demand for sustainable disinfection technologies, coupled with international efforts such as the Minamata Convention on Mercury to reduce mercury pollution, is a key driver of market growth. Mercury pollution poses a significant global challenge, prompting action from 123 nations that have signed the Minamata Agreement to curtail mercury emissions from human activities.
Traditional UV-C lamps, which utilize mercury vapors to generate UV radiation, present environmental concerns due to their short lifecycle and the associated generation of mercury waste during frequent replacements. Moreover, the potential release of mercury into the environment in case of lamp breakage risks ecological balance and human health.
