Chromatography Instrumentations Global Market Report 2025

The chromatography instrumentations market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.74 billion in 2024 to $11.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the growing demand for pharmaceutical research, an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, higher investments in biotechnology, global food safety regulations, and the expansion of personalized medicine.

The chromatography instrumentations market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth during the forecast period is driven by factors such as higher funding for life sciences, a rising demand for analytical instruments, the expanding number of contract research organizations (CROs), greater adoption of gas chromatography in the oil and gas sector, and the evolving healthcare industry. Key trends expected in this period include the development of advanced chromatography techniques, the rise of high-performance liquid chromatography, technological innovations, product advancements, and increased collaboration between academia and industry.

The growing pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive the expansion of the chromatography instrumentation market. The pharmaceutical industry encompasses the research, development, production, and marketing of drugs and medications, including both over-the-counter and prescription drugs, aimed at improving health outcomes and treating various medical conditions. Factors contributing to the industry's growth include the increasing demand for innovative drugs and therapies, advancements in biotechnology, and a rise in healthcare needs. Chromatography instruments play a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry, enabling the precise separation and analysis of complex mixtures, ensuring the purity, quality, and safety of drug products, which is essential for regulatory compliance and development. For example, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations reported that Europe's total pharmaceutical production reached $368.83 billion (€340 billion) in 2022, a 4.95% increase from the previous year. The growing pharmaceutical sector is therefore helping to drive the demand for chromatography instrumentation.

Leading companies in the chromatography instrumentation market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as next-generation intelligent HPLC systems, to improve precision, speed, and automation in analytical processes.

Chromatography instruments are analytical tools designed to separate, identify, and analyze the components of a mixture based on their chemical characteristics. These devices allow for the separation of substances by exploiting differences in properties such as polarity, size, and solubility.

Key types of chromatography instrumentation include liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and supercritical fluid chromatography. Liquid chromatography is a technique used to separate, identify, and quantify the components of a liquid mixture by passing it through a stationary phase. Consumables and accessories commonly used with chromatography systems include columns, detectors, pressure regulators, solvents, syringes, and needles. These systems find applications across various industries, such as life sciences, academic and research institutions, oil and gas, environmental agencies, and food and beverage sectors, among others.
