The global market for preparative and process chromatography was valued at $9.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a substantial rate of 9.08% annually over the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand and approval of monoclonal antibodies within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Additionally, the expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry, the need for advanced purification techniques, and the pursuit of more efficient and cost-effective processes are contributing to market growth. Technological advancements and the development of innovative chromatography products, such as CEM's Prodigy preparative HPLC system launched in October 2021, are expected to further fuel market expansion. This system offers enhanced resolution and separation capabilities through elevated temperature operation.
The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the market due to the surge in demand for COVID-19 vaccines and treatment medications. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are anticipated to experience continued growth, driven by the emerging production and demand for preparative and process chromatography. These techniques are crucial for analyzing materials used in the manufacturing of coronavirus vaccines.
Based on type, the chromatography market is segmented into liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, paper chromatography, gel-permeation chromatography, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
Liquid Chromatography
Liquid chromatography was the dominant segment in 2022, accounting for 27.3% of the market share. Its widespread application across various industries, particularly in the isolation of bioactive compounds from diverse sources, contributes to its significant market share. Additionally, liquid chromatography plays a crucial role in quality control during the production process, especially in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemicals sectors. The rapid growth of these industries is driving the demand for liquid chromatography solutions.
Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography
The hydrophobic interaction chromatography segment is projected to exhibit the highest growth rate of 10.22% during the forecast period. This technique's ability to analyze protein unfolding and folding, as well as isolate complex proteins, has made it a popular choice in protein research. The increasing demand for monoclonal antibodies in oncology is further expected to fuel the growth of this segment.
