APAC / August 2017 7 NEWS , The Southeast Asia (SEA) and Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) chromatog- raphy market is wit- nessing steady growth. Overall market growth is driven by the growing industrial sectors in Southeast Asia and ANZ, and a need to adhere to quality assur- ance, process control, and regu- latory standards. “High cost of ownership, main- tenance costs, and the need for quicker analysis are causing end users to shift toward better tech- nologies such as process chro- matographs,” said test & meas- urement research analyst Sneha Ayyar. “Vendors that focus on pro- ject execution, equipment support and value-added services as part of their offering will gain a com- petitive edge,” she added. Strategic imperatives for vendor success and growth in the SEA and ANZ chromatography market include: • Embracing change through new business models and technologies that offer scope for implementation of Industrial Internet of Things; • Reducing the footprint of the instrument to penetrate low-budget end users and increase the scope of appli- cations; • Working with government agencies to capitalise on op- portunities in the oil and gas sector and; • Differentiating themselves from competitors to win brownfield projects. “Although food testing, pharma- ceuticals, and water and waste- water are the fastest growing end-user segments, the automa- tion of equipment will become a key customer requisite to tackle the lack of skilled labour,” noted Ayyar. Frost & Sullivan’s study covers chromatography segments such as liquid, ion, and gas. End-us- er segments include oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life science, water and waste- water, environmental testing, food and beverage, government, and academics and research insti- tutes. Regions like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vi- etnam, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand are assessed. ww2.frost.com Need for Quality Assurance, Process Control and Regulatory Standards Drives Growth of Chromatography Market in SEA and ANZ Automating equipment is necessary to tackle skilled labour shortage and create growth opportunities, finds Frost & Sullivan’s Test & Measurement team.
