Russian Laboratory Equipment Market Shows Expansion |
19 Apr 2007 |
| Russia's most important analytical chemistry conference A-TESTex (Analytica) will be held in Moscow, 10-13 April 2007, and highlights the growth in the market with ever increasing visitor numbers. This year's event has seen over 350 registered exhibitors- up from 300 last year. The organisers of the exhibition, MVK, are expecting 25,000 attendees up from 15,000 attendees at last years event. Elena Shatrova, CEO of MVK, told Labtechnologist.com that the exhibition was growing every year, mainly due to Russia not having enough instrument manufacturers to supply the market and customers needing a place to meet importers. While importing instruments into Russia can be a laborious and time-consuming operation Shatrova believes that "if a product can compete in the market - it will." There is no single association of analytical and laboratory equipment manufacturers or sellers, making the collection of industry trade information difficult, leading MVK to commission the German Federal informational bureau on external trade (bfai) to conduct a market survey of the analytical and laboratory equipment market in Russia. |
