Global Chromatography Columns Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Chromatography Columns Market Outlook

The global chromatography columns market size was valued at USD 7.08 billion in 2023, driven by the increased use of chromatography in pharmaceuticals, clinical labs, and medical research. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to rise from USD 7.58 billion in 2024 to USD 13.23 billion by 2032.

Chromatography Columns: Introduction

A chromatography column is a glass tube which is used to separate chemical components during the chromatography process. These tubes are filled with a solid substance through which a liquid sample passes by. As molecules have different sizes and polarities, they pass through the column at different rates, hence, get separated.

A chromatography column is available in different capacities and is used in clinical forensic settings, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and beverage industries as well.

Global Chromatography Columns Market Analysis

Chromatography has become a common practice in clinical analysis and research labs, especially for drug screening, toxicology, and biomarker analysis. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a widely preferred type of chromatography owing to the accurate and rapid results. It is used in the process of developing new medicines as well. Therefore, the chromatography columns market value has increased significantly over time as there is heavy focus on developing and bringing new innovations to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.

Chromatography is not just limited to pharmaceutical or healthcare industry. It is equally relevant and successful in food and beverage, cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries. Thus, with the growth in aforesaid industries, the chromatography columns market share will expand too.

Another key factor majorly responsible for the increase in chromatography columns is the success of the process to yield accurate and quick results. There have been several new products launched in liquid chromatography and HPLC to integrate the analysis of new compounds. For example, Novilytic, an American molecule research company has developed a new product kit called Proteometer-L kit,  that will work with HPLC system for rapid analysis of IgG and IgG fragments in a cell-free culture filtrate (CFF). This indicates that the research and innovation in chromatography will continue, hence, the demand for chromatography columns will grow as well.
