Market Introduction
SAM includes Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of SAM. The region is among the fast-developing Bi-Metal band saw blade markets; however, it is less mature and slower than other regions. The Bi-Metal band saw blade market in SAM is primarily driven by the increasing use of the Bi-Metal band saw blade by the end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and machine manufacturing. Bi-Metal band saw blade has extensive use in machine manufacturing. The off-highway equipment industry covers heavy-duty machines produced for use in numerous construction operations such as hauling, excavating, drilling, paving, and grading. The construction sector's recovery, a surge in public-private partnerships, and rapid urbanization are bolstering the demand for off-highway machines, thereby propelling the Bi-Metal band saw blade market growth in the region. Further, Starrett produces carbide tip band saw blades in different variants, ideal for cutting tough, abrasive materials. Moreover, the region's key players can increase their market share by focusing on product development and innovations. It is considered that with the increasing presence of global and local market players, coupled with growing research and development activities, the Bi-Metal band saw blade market will find immense opportunities in the coming years. The rise in investment in research & development activities and technological innovation related to the Bi-Metal band saw blades is also expected to bolster the market's growth.
In SAM, Brazil is the worst-affected country by the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. Governments of these countries have taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain the spread of COVID-19. The bi metal band saw blade market has been negatively affected by the lack of raw materials such as high-speed steel tooth tips and alloy steel, as well as disruptions in the blade manufacturing processes. Bi metal band saw blades are widely used in end-user industries such as automotive and machinery manufacturing. The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the motor vehicles, metals, chemical products, textiles, and machinery and equipment manufacturing industries, among others, in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the automotive and chemicals & materials industries across SAM. Containment measures in several SAM countries have reduced economic activity in the chemicals & materials industry; however, the industry is likely to grow once the region manages to revive from the pandemic.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The SAM bi-metal band saw blades market is expected to grow from US$ 279.03 million in 2021 to US$ 348.78 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2021 to 2028. Manufacturers of band saw blades are focusing on developing new products that deliver high-quality cuts in different metal cutting applications. The product innovation strategy is primarily focused on improving the performance and durability of blades for high-precision metal cutting.
