Global Chromatography Instruments Market, Forecast to 2025

Increased Drug Tests are the Key to Market Growth

The chromatography instruments market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period (2018-2025). Pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and biotechnology are the largest end-user sectors for the chromatography instruments market. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) will be in high demand for biopharmaceutical separation analysis as it speeds up the data collection process.

Increased testing of drugs in the pharmaceuticals industry will bolster the growth of chromatography instruments market in the forecast period. Chromatography is largely used in the pharmaceutical industry is due to its high efficiency of separation and its ability to detect small amounts species from complex mixtures. As it plays a vital role in new drug development and clinical research, growth for the market for chromatography instruments is set to accelerate. Investment in pharmaceuticals R&D is anticipated to create more opportunities in the chromatography instrument market. Industries such as pharmaceuticals conduct analytical testing to comply with the regulations imposed by authorities. Various pharmaceutical incidents demand stricter regulations to control the presence of certain compounds, and this will increase the adoption of chromatographs. Environmental regulations and consumer awareness about health and the environment will further accelerate the growth of the chromatography instruments market.

The top 3 participants - Thermo Fischer Scientific, Agilent Technologies, and Shimadzu Scientific Instruments - account for more than 50% of the market share because of their active presence in most product and end-user segments.

Research Scope

The chromatography market comprises instruments that are used for separation analysis and quantification of individual components in complex mixtures. The scope of the study covers laboratory and process instruments used in each of the separation analysis processes. Gas Chromatographs use a separation method that manages the separation, analysis, and quantification of individual components in a complex mixture of gases. The Mobile Phase is a gas. Only volatile substances are separated by gas chromatography. Liquid Chromatographs use a separation method that manages the separation analysis and quantification of individual components in a complex mixture of liquids. The Mobile Phase is a liquid. Ion Chromatographs use a separation process that utilizes the charge of the medium and desired particle. The ions and polar molecules are separated based on the affinity to the ion exchanger. The separation process works almost on any kind of charged particle - proteins, small nucleotides, and amino acids.
