Global preparative and process chromatography market scope is estimated to reach USD 19.3 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.85% from 2022 to 2030. It was valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2022.
Large-scale integration of liquid chromatographic strategies in downstream processing, technological improvements, and increased need for preparative techniques have accelerated the development in this space. Growing demand and support of monoclonal antibodies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries is expected to fuel this space’s growth throughout the forecast period.
What are Preparative and Process Chromatography?
The preparative and process chromatography processes are primarily used in gas chromatography, liquid chromatography (including supercritical fluid chromatography), and HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography). Process chromatography arrives into the picture post preparative chromatography. It explores the purification process conducted during preparative chromatography. An ever-increasing usage of chromatography techniques in the nutraceuticals and food industry is predicted to maintain high hopes for the preparative and process chromatography market.
Growth Drivers
Increasing awareness about improvements in Preparative and Process Chromatography
Market players such as manufacturers of chromatography devices, consumables, accessories, and service providers are growing awareness about the improvements in preparative and process chromatography. In 2020, PREP 2020 — 33rd International Symposium on Preparative and Process Chromatography held in the United States on 31 May 2020. The PREP 2020 is the longest-running & recognized international scientific conference and exposition driving the field of Preparative and Process Chromatography, organized by expert scientists and engineers for the detachment science practitioner. The seminar addressed the latest scientific and technological advances, essential and emerging applications and techniques, and challenges and solutions in all elements of Preparative and Process Chromatography, Ion Exchange, Adsorption/Desorption Processes, and Related Separation Techniques. The emphasis of this conference is the development, design, optimization, and operation of chromatographic processes and technology for a broad range of applications.
Opportunities
The rising market for monoclonal antibodies
Preparative and process chromatography creates a critical role in refining monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). mAbs showcase immense possibilities as biopharmaceuticals to treat an expansive range of illnesses. With such promising opportunities, major biopharmaceutical players such as Pfizer Inc., Novartis International AG, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Amgen Inc, and Samsung Bioepis have raised their emphasis on mAbs. The increasing number of mAbs supported by regulatory bodies is also a critical element supporting the growth of the mAbs market.
Restraints
The increased expense of devices
Preparative and process chromatography systems are expenses at a premium because of the elements and technologies. Small- & medium-sized enterprises in the oil & gas, food & beverage, biotech & pharmaceutical industries, and research and academic institutions demand multiple such systems in their operations. Hence, the capital expenditure expended on these systems enhances immensely. Moreover, academic research laboratories discover it challenging to afford such systems, as they have maintained budgets. The maintenance costs and other indirect expenditures result in an overall increase in these instruments’ total cost of ownership. They restrict the adoption of chromatographic accessories & consumables among price-sensitive end-users, such as research laboratories, academic institutes, and small companies.
Pre Covid-19 Impact on Global Preparative and Process Chromatography
Before the Covid-19 period, Chromatography plays an important function in numerous pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Environmental testing laboratories normally identify extremely small impurities in waste oil and pesticides, such as PCBs. Chromatography is utilized to test drinking water and monitor air quality. Pharmaceutical industries use this form to collect huge quantities of extremely refined materials and examine the purified compounds for trace impurities. High-performance liquid chromatography is utilized in protein breaks, such as insulin cleansing, plasma fractionation, enzyme purification, DNA fingerprinting, and bioinformatics, which improved the growth of the preparative and process chromatography market.
Covid-19 Impact on Global Preparative and Process Chromatography
During the Covid-19 period, the pandemic has seriously impacted the preparative and process chromatography market. With the increasing threat associated with COVID, investigators are positively dependent on analytical laboratory methods such as chromatography to gain sufficient and efficient strategies for describing the virus and examining potential vaccines and anti-COVID-19 compounds. Chromatography is one of the crucial technologies, mainly in refining biomolecules, including RNA. Analytical devices play a central role in the laboratory work centering on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including the three major areas of COVID-19-related research — vaccine development, therapeutics expansion, and diagnostic testing.
Post Covid-19 Impact on Global Preparative and Process Chromatography
After the covid-19 outbreak, the commonly used drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine, have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the treatment of the COVID-19 virus. Such increased demand for these drugs has shown a massive opportunity for manufacturers of COVID-19 drugs as many advanced countries are scarce of these drugs. The pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry is predicted to notice considerable growth in the future, owing to the need for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19. After the COVID-19 period has positively impacted the process and preparative chromatography market as the separation process and preparative chromatography can be used to analyze ingredients to prepare a vaccine for coronavirus.
