Market Introduction
South America laboratory balances and scales market is studied based on the two major countries such as Brazil, Argentina and based on rest of South America. The recent technological developments have had a direct impact on the economy of Brazil that has advanced to a large extent. The cost savings advantage and higher work efficiencies achieved are cited as the major attracting points for manufacturing companies to establish bases in South America. Latin American economy is facing a lot instability in the current times and poses a challenge to the developing economies. Brazil has manufacturing plants of many pharmaceutical companies. Added to that, many foreign companies often collaborate and partner with Brazilian laboratories and local companies for the development of biotechnology-based medicines. The collaborative efforts are expected to yield in development of novel products in Brazil over the forecast years. Most of the research is conducted in universities and other federal state institutions in Brazil. As per the DWIH São Paulo, biotechnology research is one of the first-tier priorities in Brazil. Thus, the government has established various policies and rules to stimulate the biotech research in the country. For instance, the government established National Policy of Science since 2004 that aims to transform the biotechnology sector into strategic component for revenue generation and development of country. Fast growth of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is the major factor driving the growth of the SAM laboratory balances and scales market.
COVID-19 cases are increasing in SAM. With the outbreak of the second wave of COVID-19, the number of cases in Latin American countries has increased. Now, the nation is increasingly expanding its clinical services to combat the novel corona virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has badly impacted countries such as Brazil and Argentina. According to Worldometers, as of June 28, 2021, Brazil had 18, 448, 402 COVID-19 positive cases, and in Argentina, there were 4,423,636. The increasing incidences of COVID-19 have increased demand for several laboratory testing which consequently create vital growth opportunities for the target market.Despite this impact, the region's biotechnology industry is doing little to fight the virus, and the lack of projects has exposed the sector's vulnerability. There are a few unrelated and autonomous projects going on, but they are happening independently of one another, meaning that there is no strong biotech network. The Brazilian pharmaceutical industry is facing challenges of trying to contain the COVID-19 pandemic while dealing with enormous cost pressures. In Brazil, the rise in the dollar has made importing APIs more expensive and also there is increase in logistics costs, due to the reduction in air traffic, with the consequent upsurge in freight costs. Additionally, there is also significant increase in the prices of raw materials, inputs and finished products. These factors are likely to have negative impact on the market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The laboratory balances and scales market in SAM is expected to grow from US$ 73.91 million in 2021 to US$ 102.08 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2028. Laboratory balances and scales are used to measure mass and weight of pharmaceutical as well as biotechnology substances in research laboratories. These scales and balances are used to weigh pharmaceutical chemicals, biological samples, stents, and tiny components of medical devices. Maintaining proper weights and mass plays a vital role in early stages of any clinical trials. Hence, these instruments are crucial for drug and devices development. Continual research and development activities conducted by market players are leading to new product introductions with enhanced capabilities. Furthermore, the industry players are also emphasizing on incorporating new software and programing technologies in laboratory balances and scales. In November 2020, METTLER TOLEDO announced launch of its new brand XPR106DUH in order to offer superior precision for material weighing. The newly introduced product offers weight readability from 0.01 mg to 220 g. In addition, the increasing number of business activities among market players is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the laboratory balances and scales market during the forecast period. For instance, in January 2021, Cole-Parmer, an Antylia Scientific Company, completed acquisition of ZeptoMetrix in order to expand its quality control products portfolio. Such developments are also likely to drive the market in years to come.
