analytica Vietnam 2019 Celebrates Tenth Anniversary Amid Substantial Growth

An extremely successful analytica Vietnam 2019 took place from 3 to 5 April in Ho Chi Minh City. The country's most important industry platform for laboratory technology, analysis, biotechnology and diagnostics attracted 143 exhibitors from 15 countries and occupied around 33% more space in the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) than in 2017. The 4,144 trade visitors flocked to the trade fair stands to find out about current developments in the industry and also attended the comprehensive supporting program featuring lectures, tutorials, buyer-seller meetings and lab safety shows.

The exhibitors included numerous national and international industry heavyweights. Germany, China, Taiwan and Singapore were on show with country pavilions of their own. Dr Reinhard Pfeiffer, Messe München's deputy CEO said: "analytica Vietnam is one of the jewels in analytica's global network and we are delighted with its positive development. 18% more exhibitors, a third more space and 18% more visitors compared with 2017 are an impressive reflection of the boom in the Vietnamese laboratory sector. It also has to do with the increasing need to import laboratory equipment, especially prevalent in the foodstuffs and pharmaceutical industry and in environmental analysis."

Pham Thi Tuyet, Marketing Manager at exhibitor SISC, summed it up: "analytica Vietnam is a prestige exhibition that has a lot of influence on the market that makes half of our income. The organiser is really enthusiastic and has had good support for the exhibitors."

Reto Broger, CEO of Metrohm Vietnam, is enthusiastic about his company's participation in the trade fair: "The focus on analytical instrumentation is paramount for us and this is supported by analytica Vietnam. We are very happy with the number of visitors and the interest shown in our products and look forward to attending again in 2021!"
