Gas Chromatography Market by Instrumentation (Systems, Detectors, Autosamplers, Fraction collectors), Consumables & Accessories (Columns, Fittings & Tubings, Flow Management) & by Reagents (Analytical, Preparative) - Analysis & Global forecast to 2019

Over the years, the gas chromatography market, which includes Instrumentation, Accessories & Consumables, and Reagents, has witnessed various technological advancements that have led to an increase in the application areas of chromatography. For instance, chromatography techniques are widely used in academic research laboratories and a number of industries, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biopharmaceutical, food and agriculture, environmental testing, and others.

The gas chromatography reagents market is the fastest-growing market segment. In the gas chromatography instrumentation market, the systems segment contributes the most and is growing at the highest CAGR. This can be attributed to their features, such as excellent separation capabilities, reproducibility, and quicker separation.

In the coming years, the growth of the gas chromatography market is likely to be centered on Asia. This region offers an array of opportunities for growth and is likely to serve as a revenue pocket for the gas chromatography market. India, China and Japan offer high growth potential as compared to mature markets such as the U.S. and Europe. Growth in these markets is spurred by the growing pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical research industries in China, India, Japan, Brazil, and Mexico. Due to this, key players in the global market are venturing into these regions. For instance, in March 2012, Novasep established a new facility at Shanghai (China), to address the growing demand for purification process solutions in China and East Asia; the facility was built by the company in response to the growth in demand for chromatography products.

In addition, regulatory policies in the Asia-Pacific region are more adaptive and business-friendly, which has led to an increase in R&D activities in this region. Asia is a hub for clinical trials and has witnessed high growth in the CRO industry in China, India, Korea, and Taiwan. According to ClinicalTrials.gov, in June 2013, of the total 11,496 clinical trials in the world, 3,588 were conducted in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific, along with the Middle East and Africa, is conducting 38% of all clinical trials.

The gas chromatography market is highly competitive, and has few major companies dominating the market. Players operating in the market strive hard to gain market visibility and larger market shares. The companies focus on new product launches and agreements to increase their customer base. However, the high cost of systems and the need for skilled professionals to operate highly sophisticated gas chromatography techniques are limiting the use of advanced gas chromatography techniques.
