Photonics West 2018 is the largest and most visited international photoelectric exhibition in the United States. It is held in San Francisco every year and is an international photoelectric industry event.

Bioraytron uv-c LED sterilization products have been successfully introduced into the people's livelihood consumer industry, including household appliances, food processing, sanitary ware, kitchen appliances and 3C and health industries. At the same time, has successfully entered domestic water treatment and medical sterilization, industry and high-tech water sterilization related industries. 10-20mw products have reached the mass production stage, and 20-40mw products have been sent to customers for samples. On order injection, the company's UV LED products can produce 200,000 pieces per month in the first half of 2018, 500,000 pieces in the second half of the year, and it is estimated that the capacity will reach 1 million pieces in 2019.

LG Innotek exhibited UV LED products on behalf of IRTronix, Inc., President Danny Oh said that LG Innotek's UV LED revenue increased 2.6 times in 2017 and grew faster in 2018. The future will be optimistic about the escalator sterilization, water sterilization market development.

Nichia reintroduced higher power uv-a LED products for resin curing and rapid printing. The 233B uv-a LED product is 40 percent more powerful than its predecessor. 333A was also significantly improved. In addition to the launch of 279A CSP UV-A LED products, used in the rapid printing market. 333 c and 034 c (Spot Curing) is applied to the dot Curing market.

Nikkiso products master major customers, so it can be seen that its 2017-2018 revenue has been significantly improved. After the acquisition of aquisense towards the static water and mobile water sterilization market development.

DOWA launched its 280nm product, which USES a single chip package and can reach 75mW under 800mA and 6.9V.

According to LEDinside, the static water sterilization and surface sterilization (air purification, household appliances, etc.) have not high requirements on time, and the product price ratio is relatively high. It is estimated that the product price will reach less than USD 1/mW in 2018, and even in the market where the product life requirement is not high, the product price will have a better chance to reach USD 0.5/mW. However, mobile water sterilization requires fast sterilization time, and at the same time, it has high requirements on product power. Therefore, the specification of ultraviolet LED must be higher than 50mW or even 100mW. However, its requirements on product price strategy are not strict, and the manufacturer will gradually move towards different market positioning and diversified pricing strategies. The water sterilization and air sterilization market is the growth momentum of uv-c LED market.
