Impact of Covid-19 on the Latin America Air Quality Monitoring Market

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic had a decelerating effect on most industries across Latin America, which did fluctuate the dynamics of the Air Quality Monitoring Market. While the governments of different countries in the region imposed stringent movement restrictions & lockdowns to curb the spread of this dreadful disease, most manufacturing units got shut & the entire supply chain got severely hampered.

The industry also witnessed challenges like shortage of labor & raw materials, delays in delivering pre-produced products, cancellation of projects, and no new production, among various others, which, in turn, resulted in massive financial losses to the leading players in the industry.

However, the gradual improvement in the pandemic situation with a gradually reducing number of cases made governments across Latin America uplift restrictions & allow the recommencement of business operations, which enabled the market to regain its usual growth pace & recover from losses slowly. Nonetheless, the market is also displaying remunerative growth opportunities for the leading players and instigating them to introduce innovations in products to drive the market during 2022-27.

Market Segmentation

Based on the Product:

• Indoor
• Outdoor

Of them all, the demand for Outdoor Air Quality Monitoring Systems is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate during 2022-27. It owes principally to their operational advantages like miniaturized & compact size, easy portability, etc., coupled with substantial investments by the governments of different countries in Latin America, and the active participation of leading players for the deployment of the outdoor systems to monitor pollution levels & take necessary measures to enhance the overall air quality.

Besides, the demand for outdoor air quality monitoring devices is also likely to surge with an increasing consumer base across petrochemical, government agencies & academic institutes, commercial & residential users, power generation plants, & pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, the advent of green building technologies & smart home trends is another crucial aspect projected to fuel the overall market growth during the forecast period.

On the other hand, Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Systems are anticipated to dominate the market with the largest share during 2022-27. It owes prominently to their capabilities to determine the air contamination & purity levels by sensing the level of dust, pollutants, & suspended particles present in the environment. These systems are based majorly on sensors & used extensively in different environmental scenarios. Most people spend a majority portion of their time indoors. Hence, at times, their exposure to indoor air pollutants might be higher than outdoor pollutants. As a result, the demand for these systems is soaring significantly to recycle & cleanse indoor air.

Based on the End-User:

• Petrochemical
• Government Agencies & Academic Institutes
• Commercial & Residential Users
• Power Generation Plants
• Pharmaceutical

Of them all, the Latin America Air Quality Monitoring Market is gaining significant momentum across several government agencies & academic institutions. Since governments are increasingly taking several initiatives to deploy air quality monitoring devices, their utilization at numerous agencies to establish national networks is substantially rising.

Similarly, the installation rate of these devices is also rising significantly across academic institutions to monitor air quality & avoid health compromises on individuals. Furthermore, with stringent government regulations for the adoption of effective air quality monitoring systems, coupled with massive investments, the market shall observe lucrative growth opportunities in the coming years. 

Country Landscape

Geographically, the Latin America Air Quality Monitoring Market expands across:

• Brazil
• Argentina
• Mexico
• Chile
• Peru

Of them all, the Air Quality Monitoring Market is anticipated to boom across Peru during 2022-27. It owes principally to the alarming levels of pollution in the country entwined with stringent regulations to curb emissions. In 2020, Peru instated a regulation allowing only the import of vehicles used less than 2 years.

This measure aims to upgrade the entire vehicle fleet & reduce pollution levels from the country. With the help of Air Quality Monitoring devices, the government of Peru is keeping a check on pollution levels & seeking different ways to enhance the air quality. Hence, with this intention, the demand for air quality monitoring systems is likely to rise in the coming years.

The city Lima Callao in Peru has joined a campaign called BreatheLife to improve the air quality as a part of their pledge made as a C40 city to actively deploy quality monitoring systems and make quality information available to everyone around the city.

On the other hand, Mexico is also contributing significantly to the overall market growth with the rapid installation of air quality monitoring devices & massive investments in developing such devices while implementing stringent norms to reduce pollution levels. Besides, the Mexican government is also spreading awareness about these systems through various programs and encouraging people to adopt air quality monitoring systems.

Furthermore, Brazil is projected to observe considerable market growth over the forecast years. It owes principally to the rapid industrialization & urbanization in the country, i.e., generating immense pollution and propelling the demand for air quality monitoring devices. Besides, the southeast region of Brazil is the most polluted area, i.e., across big cities like Rio De Janeiro & São Paulo, along with massive industries.

Moreover, the Brazilian government is seeking different ways to address surging concerns over curbing the intensified environmental health risks & improving air quality. With a target to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, the demand for large-scale air quality monitoring systems is rising and fueling the overall market growth.
