The high Prevalence of Diseases across Latin America, along with the Growing Awareness of Early Diagnosis, is Propelling the Market Growth.

  In Latin America, chronic infectious diseases caused by bacterial and viral pathogens are rising. Factors such as changing climatic conditions, increasing population, migration & mobility, and poor public health resources are causing this phenomenon. The pathogenic agents that cause emerging and re-emerging diseases in Latin America include bacterial pathogens (Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella typhi, Brucellaabortus, and Klebsiella pneumonia) and viral pathogens (HPV, HIV, EBV, Zika, and Chikungunya). Leprosy, dengue, leishmaniasis, HIV, Chagas disease, COVID-19 disease, and cancer are some of the prevalent diseases in this region. Chagas disease, a potentially life-threatening illness, is found mainly in the endemic areas of 21 Latin American countries. The parasites of this disease are transmitted by contact with feces/urine of infected blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by the protozoan paras...

Importance Of Industrial X-Ray Systems In The Food Processing Industry

In recent years, X-ray inspection has grown significantly in industrial inspection and quality control due to technological advancements in hardware and crucial software upgrades.

3D Machine Vision Meets Industry 4.0

  Industry 4.0, also referred to as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is the fourth industrial revolution. It encompasses cyber-physical systems, automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a better-connected manufacturing ecosystem known as a smart factory. A smart factory represents a leap forward from traditional automation to a fully connected and flexible system. Manufacturers are implementing smart factories for manufacturing operations, quality inspection, inventory tracking, warehouse operations, and equipment maintenance. This requires the deployment of various physical and digital technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), additive manufacturing, high-performance computing, cognitive technologies, and augmented reality to connect equipment and facilities, and analyze the data connection and digitize operations. One of the most important features of a smart factory is implementing industrial robots and robotic processes. This implementa...

Rising Prevalence of Oral Diseases along with the Advancements in Dentistry and Dental 3D Printing is Driving the Market Growth

  Over the last decade, 3D printing technology has revolutionized dentistry. Dental 3D printing enables the completely automated manufacturing of customized dental devices as per patient requirements. Dental 3D printing is a process wherein a light or laser polymerizes a liquid with the computer-guided precision required to produce small objects with intricate details. A dental   3D printing material  is a substance that has been specifically designed in the production of final-placement dental models. The rise of 3D printing technology is revolutionizing the dentistry industry. This is due to the advancements in CAD, and enhanced imaging techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The high prevalence of oral diseases is one of the major factors responsible for expanding digital dentistry and dental 3D printing. Based on electronic health data, the digital transformation in dental medicine is recognized as one of the game-cha...

COVID-19 Pandemic Challenging the Growth of the Bioplastics Market

 The global economy in 2020 was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to lockdowns and restrictions on cross-border movements, subsequently causing supply chain disruptions. All economic activities throughout value chains came to a halt as various governments worldwide implemented nationwide lockdowns. These restrictions and lockdowns were gradually relaxed, and economic activities resumed. However, the bioplastic industry was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The low production volumes for bioplastics due to the closure of manufacturing facilities, disruptions in supply chains, and shortage of raw materials resulted in the increased usage of fossil fuel plastics. Also, virgin plastic became cheaper due to a decline in oil prices in 2020, negatively impacting the demand for bioplastics. In addition, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, policy and regulatory actions were in the process of enforcement for reducing the usage of single-use pla...

Strong Growth in the Food & Beverage Industry to Drive the Market for Food Flavors

  The global food & beverage industry has witnessed healthy growth during the last ten years, and this growth is expected to continue over the coming years. Factors driving growth in the food & beverage industry in developing countries are different from those in developed countries. The growing population, favorable demographics, and rising income levels are key drivers in developing countries. However, in developed countries, rising health consciousness and increasing need for convenience foods are the major drivers for growth. In recent years, rapidly rising incomes and urbanization have spurred an interest in convenient packaged foods and fast food. The unprecedented shift from rural to urban living is a major population change impacting global consumption habits. A portrait of tomorrow’s consumer would look young, likely below the age of 30, urbanized, and potentially living in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific, or Latin America.
