Market Introduction

The tunnel boring machine market in SAM is further segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of SAM. The Rest of SAM includes Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, and Peru. The region is gradually reopening after observing reduced COVID-19 cases in some of the countries in SAM.  Mining and construction are likely to restart in Colombia and Peru, whereas in Brazil and Chile, the situation remains more complicated due to rising number of COVID-19 cases. As per The Robbins Company, mining is one of the promising industries for tunnel boring machines. Major SAM countries with a mining history—such as Peru, Chile, and Colombia—are more attractive to market players. Brazil is also a priority for several vendors since it has a robust mining industry. The governments of other emerging economies in the region are taking several initiatives to support industrial growth. For instance, Argentina is concentrating on attracting FDI by taking several initiatives, such as easing import restrictions, signing international bilateral agreements, and restricting foreign investment. Such initiatives are expected to help in the development of businesses in the region. 

Brazil has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the region. The government of SAM has taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain COVID-19’s spread. The region has faced lower export revenues in 2020, both from the drop in commodity prices and reduction in export volumes, especially to China, Europe, and the US, which are important trade partners. Also, in manufacturing, Brazilian companies imported components from Chinese companies. The presence of various developing nations makes the region one of the major markets for the growth of the tunnel boring machine market during the forecast period of 2020 to 2027. However, the sharp decline in manufacturing, construction, and infrastructure development activities in this region due to COVID-19 lockdown measures is expected to directly impact the growth of the market till Mid-2021. In addition to this, the supply chain disruptions and non-availability of raw materials also aggravated various industries operating in this region. Hence, the decline in business operations and infrastructure development activities has affected the growth rate of the tunnel boring machine market in this region in 2020 and likely in 2021.
