Europe Ultraviolet (UV) Curing System Market Analysis and Size
As compared to standard drying methods, less energy is required to cure UV products. The amount of heat generated while curing is additionally less. Therefore, heat-sensitive substrates are often coated. UV coatings are supplied in 100% solids, water-based, solvent-based, clear, pigmented, and gloss formulations. UV curing is applied in various industries using technologies such as dental bonding, adhesives, metal coatings, photopolymer printing inks, and others. The increase in advantages of UV curing systems over traditional systems and the stringent regulation associated with curing systems and green products are the major factors driving the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market growth.
Data Bridge Market Research analyzes that the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market is expected to reach USD 18,56,505.89 thousand by 2030 from USD 6,53,376.87 thousand in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.

Market Definition
Ultraviolet (UV) curing is a process that uses UV light to initiate the polymerization of liquid material into a cross-linked material, thereby named "UV Curing." Typically, the coating is applied to the substrate and versed in an exceedingly curing unit. Exposure under the light source depends on the line speed and the number of lamps present. Some exposure times are one second. The scale of the curing unit is set by the type of parts coated but typically takes less floor space than a conventional finishing system.
Europe Ultraviolet (UV) Curing System Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Rise in Demand for UV Curing Systems in Bonding and Assembling
The demand for UV curing systems in bonding applications and assembling processes is increasing from various industries such as automotive, battery, coatings and finishing, converting, electronics and printed electronics, energy production, and medical. UV curing adhesives use UV light or other radiation sources to initiate curing and form a permanent bond without heating. The ability of UV adhesives to rapidly cure without heat provides energy savings and productivity gains. They are ideal for various substrates and joining dissimilar materials such as plastics, metals, and glass. UV bonding adhesives exhibit excellent thermal stability, low shrinkage, optical clarity, and resistance to thermal cycling, chemicals, moisture, and solvents while meeting safety, health, and ecological concerns. This has resulted in higher demand for UV curing systems across industries.
- Advantages of UV Curing System over Traditional System
Ultraviolet curing is a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or "dry" inks, coatings, or adhesives. UV formulations are liquid monomers and oligomers mixed with a small percentage of photo initiators and then exposed to UV energy. In a few seconds, the formulation - inks, coatings, or adhesives instantly "harden" or cure, ready for the next processing step. UV-curable inks and coatings were first used as a better alternative to solvent-based products. Conventional heat and air-drying works by solvent evaporation, shrinks the initial coating application by more than 50%, and creates environmental pollutants.
In addition, traditional mercury UV bulbs degrade over time, making them unstable and needing replacement every 1,000-1,500 hours. However, in UV curing systems, especially LED, the lifespan of bulbs can be beyond 60,000 hours. The power, cost, and capability of UV curing systems have improved over time. They are now considered and used as a viable alternative to traditional mercury-vapor lamps in applications including printing, 3D printing, coatings, and adhesives.
Opportunity
- Rapid Technological Advancement IN UV-LED Curing System
Assembly and manufacturing processes depend highly on the rapid and effective curing of ultraviolet (UV) systems. In ultraviolet (UV) curing systems, UV LED curing systems are used most commonly for graphics applications, particularly for digital inkjet printing, screen printing, sheet-fed offset printing, and flexo-printing. UV LED curing technology offers numerous sustainability, cost, and performance benefits for certain applications, notably graphics, electronic display coatings, wood fillers, fiber optics, and some non-graphic web coatings.
The advantages being realized in these markets generate interest from other sectors where UV LED curing technology has not reached the levels needed for commercialization. Interested end users are working closely with market players and coating formulators and their raw material (resin, additive, photoinitiator) suppliers to devise systems that will overcome current limitations and facilitate broader adoption of UV LED curing for industrial wood, and other coatings, automotive/transportation, and many other applications. This has resulted in rapid technological development in UV LED curing systems, providing a lucrative opportunity for growth for the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market.
Restraint/Challenge
- Limited Penetration by UV Curing System;
UV curing systems expose materials to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes the material to cure or harden. However, the depth of cure, or the distance the UV radiation can penetrate the material, can be limited. This can be a problem for applications requiring deep curing, such as thick or multi-layered materials. The limitation in the depth of UV curing systems can act as a challenging factor for the growth of the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market.
Recent Developments
- In November 2022, Heraeus Holding announced that the company is relocating its production and research facilities from Cambridge Science Park to Northstowe, North Cambridge. With this step, the company is aiming to cater to the rising market demand for its flashlamps and flash systems. This helped the company in the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market.
- In February 2020, IST METZ GmbH & Co. KG posted an article on its official website regarding the advantages of UV and excimer technology. The company has promoted its offerings in the article and mentioned benefits such as curing and matting in industrial coatings can be done in seconds. Through such an article, the company is increasing its presence in the Europe ultraviolet (UV) curing system market, promoting its product portfolio.
