According to TrendForce's latest "2026 Deep UV LED Market Trends and Product Analysis", due to increases in precious metals, raw materials and labor costs, UV LED prices have been supported in 1Q26, and customized products may even have a chance to increase by 5% quarterly. Under the steady growth trend of global photocuring and sterilization and purification applications, TrendForce estimates that the UV LED market size may rise to US$215 million in 2026, with annual growth expected to exceed 10%.
The market demand for Curing, Exposure, Tanning, Solar Simulator, Medical and Life Science continues to increase steadily, prompting HPLighting, Seoul Viosys, Violumas, UVT, etc. to step into customized designs and increase UV-A LED order revenue and stabilize product prices through optical integration solutions.
On the other hand, UV-C LED is used for sterilization and purification. As the optical power increases, it has also shifted from consumer home appliance applications to industrial and commercial surface sterilization and dynamic water sterilization customized projects to maintain product quotations. According to a TrendForce survey, UV-C LED monocrystalline packaging manufacturers that can supply ≥100mW in 2026 include ams OSRAM, Nichia, Violumas, NKFG, UVT, LITEON, etc.
Among them, ams OSRAM, Nichia, Violumas, NKFG, and UVT take into account both optical power and product reliability, providing product reliability of ≥10,000 hours (R70). The single-crystal packaging solution has a smaller package size, better current spreading (Current Spreading), high radiation pattern uniformity (Uniform Radiation Pattern) and low thermal design cost. Therefore, end customers prefer to choose monocrystalline packaging products.
In addition, Toyoda Gosei also plans to launch ≥100mW UV-C LED single crystal packaging products in 2026 to meet end market requirements. According to research and experimental data from the University of Siena in Italy, Silanna's 235nm Far UV-C LED technology exhibits excellent sterilization and disinfection effects, effectively killing 99.9% to 99.99% of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa); its short-range (10cm) surface sterilization has been proven to effectively eliminate H5N1 Avian influenza virus, the sterilization rate reaches 99.9999%, highlighting the huge application potential of UV-C LED in the field of biosecurity and infection control.
At present, the products of ams OSRAM and Nichia have been successfully introduced into industrial and commercial dynamic water sterilization and purification projects, and are moving towards replacing traditional mercury lamps with rising material costs. ams OSRAM also plans to launch 200mW UV-C LED in 4Q26 to meet end market demand. Overall, TrendForce said that as manufacturers continue to improve their technology, the speed of UV LED replacing mercury lamps will gradually accelerate, and projects such as light curing, exposure, dynamic water sterilization or large-scale surface sterilization are also expected to continue to ferment.
Deep UV LEDs include UV-B LEDs and UV-C LEDs, and many applications have developed accordingly. "2026 Deep UV LED Market Trends and Product Analysis" explores market output value and volume, manufacturer revenue, product specifications and prices, reliability, application market trends, brand introduction cases, etc. I believe it can provide readers with a comprehensive layout for the development and sales of deep ultraviolet LED applications!
