analytica Vietnam 2023: The Largest Gathering of Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology Professionals in Southeast Asia

After its three-year hiatus, the seventh edition of analytica Vietnam will be held in Vietnam once again. The show will take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from 19-21 April 2023. At this time, the exhibition is expected to attract more than 5,000 diagnostic professionals, buyers and decision-makers from the ASEAN region – Asia’s most booming region, along with delegates from more than 30 countries in the world. The number of exhibitors and exhibition space of the upcoming trade fair has already reached its pre-COVID-19 records and are projected to go beyond the interest level of the last edition in 2019.

A wide range of exhibitors – including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shimadzu, Merck, Leco, ITS, DKSH, 2H Instruments, Scilab, Eppendorf and Waters, will be presenting a top-class range of innovative products for the diagnostic labs industry, with a firm focus on new technological developments within the sector. The show stands to attract a healthy mix of both domestic Vietnamese and international exhibitors, including suppliers from lucrative markets in Germany, Italy, UK, Japan, Canada, Korea, Czech Republic, USA, Singapore, India, Thailand and China.
Potential Market: Vietnam’s rapid growing market has huge demand for diagnostic labs products

The Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market is expected to grow from USD1,087.51 million in 2021 to USD1,749.95 million by 2027, presenting an estimated CAGR growth rate of 6.79%. The country’s GDP growth reached 8.02% in 2022. Foreign Direct Investment reached USD 27.72 billion. Import-Export Turnover hit USD 732.5 billion with a trade surplus of USD 11.2 billion. With high GDP growth and increased public investment, Vietnam offers great market opportunities. – General Department of Vietnam Customs.

One of the core driving factors for the booming Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market is the burgeoning spread of transmissible and non-transmissible diseases among the older generation. More efforts are now placed into the rapid advancement of diagnostic techniques in the country and key global companies have already signed up to leverage this growing industry.

The government is also working on revolutionizing the healthcare infrastructure by investing sizeable funds into the development and construction of hospital facilities and diagnostic labs.

This has led to a massive surge in research and development activities by key market players to upgrade the existing infrastructure and find innovative solutions to improve the accuracy of diagnostics tests – such as adopting artificial intelligence technology in the diagnostics industry.

The sector is expected to offset a positive trajectory for the growth of the Vietnamese Diagnostic Labs Market, providing fruitful opportunities for you and your company to thrive in the region.

“The opportunity to bring back the entire laboratory industry back together at analytica Vietnam proves to be an exciting time for the ASEAN region and our international players. The upcoming exhibition is proving to be garnering the same levels of interest pre-pandemic and we are truly excited to see the reunion of the laboratory diagnostics and analysis sector amongst old and new faces alike,” Michael Wilton, CEO and Managing Director of MMI Asia Pte Ltd affirmed.

MMI Asia Hosts Pre-Launch Conference as a Prelude to transport logistic and air cargo Inaugural Tradeshow in Southeast Asia

The transport logistic and air cargo Southeast Asia(tlac SEA) was officially inaugurated at an event today at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, with the presence of key industry players including the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAP, and DHL Express.

Organised by MMI Asia, the regional subsidiary of Messe München GmbH, the event welcomed about 100 industry stakeholders in-person across the logistics business ecosystem from airports, airlines, freight forwarders, technology enablers, service providers and shippers to association partners and government agencies. The conference is a prelude to the Southeast Asian edition of the transport logistic and air cargo (tlac) series, which includes the flagship show in Germany as well as other editions in India, China, Turkey and the United States. The inaugural Southeast Asian edition will be held in Singapore in September 2023.

MMI Asia’s CEO and Managing Director, Michael Wilton expressed: “The logistics trade was adversely impacted by a widespread slowdown brought on by the pandemic. The pace of the scene’s development was considerably compressed due to its paucity of channels for industry players to network and exchange trends, developments, and solutions.”

Julia Kwan, Group Project Director of MMI Asia added: “We observed an explosion of engagement among ecosystem players. The pre-launch conference generated an active discourse surrounding macro-market trends, discussing prospects centred on strategic expansions as new technologies, business models, markets and competitions take shape. Insightful findings, discussions, and observations emerged during the event that will inform future trends and developments. The key themes for the 2023 conference have been identified as Digitalization, Resilience and Sustainability.”

Transport, Logistics and Air Cargo Sectors Poised for a Strong Comeback

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and MMI Asia previously signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 15 November 2021, to establish a partnership to host multiple Southeast Asian editions of tlac trade shows in Singapore starting in 2023. The industry can expect the rollout of new content, programmes, and exhibition components for upcoming trade shows.

The pre-launch conference provided the industry with a glimpse of the inaugural show in 2023, which will be a pivotal catalyst to the sector’s growth as global and regional travel pick up pace.

Poh Chi Chuan, Executive Director, Exhibitions & Conferences, STB said: “We are glad to see MMI Asia riding on the strong recovery of the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) industry in Singapore so that stakeholders from the transport, logistics and air cargo sectors can gather to address pertinent issues and exchange knowledge on the latest trends and innovations. The anchoring of transport logistic and air cargo Southeast Asia in Singapore reinforces our reputation as a leading hub for business leaders to expand their business development efforts and network. We look forward to welcoming delegates to a successful launch of the tradeshow in 2023.”

Future-Proofing Post-Covid Logistics Infrastructure

Industry leaders such as IATA, DHL Express, Avnet, and Enterprise Singapore weighed in on the state of the current market and its journey towards future-proofing. Panel discussions were joined by other speakers from SAP, CargoAi, DB Schenker, The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society, Group Concorde, Kuehne + Nagel andPageGroup.

Lim Ching Kiat, Managing Director, Air Hub Development of Changi Airport Group said: “Over the past two years, the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as other disruptions, further demonstrated the importance of air cargo’s role in maintaining global trade and supply chains. Changi Airport, being strategically located in Asia, plays a key role in supporting intra-Asia and inter-continental air cargo flows, especially for pharmaceutical and perishable products. We are excited to welcome the Southeast Asia edition of the TLAC tradeshow in Singapore – we are confident this event will help facilitate dialogue and foster exchange of ideas among key air cargo players.”

The inaugural SEA edition of transport logistics and air cargo (tlac SEA) will be held in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, 13 – 15 September 2023. Exhibitors will include airlines, air and sea ports, transport and airline management, logistics providers, technology providers, and many others.
