In case of COVID-19, SAM is highly affected especially Brazil, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Peru amongst others. In 2020, the pandemic of COVID-19 led to the disruption of numerous economic activities across the region. For combating the fatal effect of the deadly virus, Governments in South and Central America have taken an array of actions for protecting the people. SAM is expected to face lower export revenues, as a result of a decrease in commodity prices as well as a decrease in export volumes, especially to China, Europe, and the US, which are important trading partners. Containment measures will limit economic activity in the manufacturing and services sectors in South American countries for at least until next quarter and are expected to recover once the pandemic is controlled. The outbreak of COVID-19 has weakened the rate of development and trade in SAM, which has a negative impact on the air cargo security and screening system market offerings.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the SAM air cargo security and screening systems market. The SAM air cargo security and screening systems market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
