Market Definition
Analytical laboratory services are concerned with a wide range of chemical and microbiological assays. Analytical laboratory services include method development and validation, sample analysis for concentration confirmation, purity, homogeneity, and stability assays on preliminary formulations and finalized drug products for IND, NDA, and ANDA submissions. Analytical services, also referred to as "materials testing," is used to describe various techniques used to identify the chemical makeup or characteristics of a particular sample. Manufacturers in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, electronics, and plastics often use analytical testing for reverse engineering or failure analysis and identifying contaminants or stains on products
Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
-
Growing expenditure on drugs and medical devices
The rise of pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries will increase the market for these analytical services as they are dependent on drug markets to provide services such as pharmacokinetic testing and other batch testing and microbial testing. Therefore, it is expected to act as a driver for the growth of the Middle East and Africa analytical laboratory services market in the forecast period.
-
Government initiatives to strengthen analytical testing capabilities
Government funding and initiative to expand the analytical services will help the market grow and increase the market players in the forecast period. This is expected to increase the market size and act as a driver for the growth of the Middle East and Africa analytical laboratory services market in the forecast period.
-
Increasing number of drug approvals and clinical trials
The market players give the analytical testing process under contract research. Furthermore, the increasing biopharmaceutical industry with increased drug production and research for novel products is expected to act as a driver for the growth of the Middle East and Africa analytical laboratory services market in the forecast period.
Opportunities
-
Increasing collaboration among market players
Collaborations in the market is the primary factor that is expected to create opportunities in the market. Agreements, partnerships, and collaborations are performed to overcome hurdles such as limited regional presence and supply chain and to increase the service portfolio. In the Middle East and Africa analytical laboratory services market, various market players have performed this, creating opportunities in the market.
Restraints/Challenges
- High cost setting of an advanced analytical lab
The considerable investment needed to set up a bioanalytical facility with a limited and highly efficient instrument is expected to limit the market growth due to high investment costs. This is expected to act as a restraint on the growth of the Middle East and Africa analytical laboratory services market in the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact on the Middle East and Africa Analytical Laboratory Services Market
COVID-19 created a major impact on various industries as almost every country has opted for the shutdown of every facility except the ones dealing in the essential goods. The government took some strict actions, such as the shutdown of facilities and sale of non-essential goods, blocked international trade and many more, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only business dealing with this pandemic situation were the essential services allowed to open and run the processes.
COVID-19 has impacted the market of analytical laboratory services negatively. Due to the cancellation of the clinical trial, the demand for analytical services was also disrupted. The major portion of these analytical services comes from the clinical trials and CRO, which get badly impacted. However, some of the market players, such as Eurofins Scientific, which can provide analytical support, were successful in minimizing the loss during COVID-19. The supply chain was disrupted as the material and solvent that were mandatory for these analytical testing faced challenges in the customs department and were not allowed to cross international borders.
Hence, COVID-19 has negatively impacted the analytical testing business, but the strategic initiative of the market players is somehow gaining success in minimizing the loss in the net revenue or segmental revenue.
Recent Developments
- In February 2021, Eurofins Scientific announced that they had acquired Beacon Discovery, preeminent drug discovery and contract research organization (CRO). This will increase the company's access to contract research and will increase its revenue for the company
- In April 2021, SGS SA announced that the company SYNLAB Analytics & Services is now be called SGS Analytics which is due to the acquisition of the leading European environmental, food & health sciences testing and tribology services company. The acquisition will continue growth and innovation by helping businesses to comply with ever increasing regulations designed to ensure food, pharmaceutical, and environmental safety
