The Argentina market is showcasing a CAGR of 13.7% during (2024 - 2031). Additionally, The UAE market would register a CAGR of 12.7% during (2024 - 2031).
Microfluidic devices and lab-on-a-chip technologies are revolutionizing this testing by miniaturizing testing platforms, reducing sample volumes, and accelerating assay kinetics. Microfluidic systems enable precise control and manipulation of fluids at the microscale, facilitating rapid nucleic acid amplification, immunoassays, and cell-based assays within compact and portable devices. Lab-on-a-chip platforms integrate sample preparation, amplification, and detection steps into a single disposable cartridge, enabling automated and multiplexed testing with minimal hands-on time.
Furthermore, one of the most significant applications of microfluidic devices in this testing is in nucleic acid amplification assays, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites can be found in minutes owing to the quick, highly sensitive, and highly specific amplification of target nucleic acid sequences made possible by microfluidic PCR platforms. By integrating sample preparation, amplification, and detection steps into a single microfluidic cartridge, these systems streamline the testing workflow and minimize the risk of contamination, offering a portable and user-friendly solution for point-of-care diagnostics.
South Africa's food and beverage sector encompasses diverse products, including fresh produce, processed foods, dairy products, beverages, and meat products. As a result of urbanization and population growth, consumer demand for nutritious, high-quality, and secure food products is increasing. As per the data from the Government of South Africa, measured in real terms (constant 2019 prices), total income generated by the food and beverages industry increased by 14.9% in February 2023 compared with February 2022. Positive annual growth rates were recorded for bar sales (35,5%) and food sales (13,8%). In addition, In the UAE's dynamic and multicultural foodservice landscape, ensuring food safety and quality assurance is paramount to maintaining consumer trust, safeguarding public health, and sustaining economic growth. According to the United States Department of Agriculture data, the UAE has the second-largest food service sector within the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region after Saudi Arabia. In 2021, the value of the UAE hotel, restaurant, and institutional sector totaled $12.3 billion, almost a 17 percent increase from 2020. Thus, the rising food & beverage and food service sectors in LAMEA will assist in the growth of the regional market.
