The chromatography instruments market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.66%, reaching total value of US$11.47 billion by 2030 from US$9.13 billion in 2025.

This growth is driven by increasing demand in drug development, clinical research, and applications in environmental and food and beverage testing, fuelled by technological advancements and innovations in chromatography techniques.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a key growth factor. As of September 2022, per CDC data over 100 million US adults were estimated to have diabetes or prediabetes, with continued growth to over 105 million by early 2025. Vector-borne diseases, including those from tick, flea, and mosquito bites, have also tripled since July 2021, maintaining elevated levels into 2025. These trends accelerate the demand for chromatography columns in drug filtration and downstream processing, driving market expansion through the forecast period.
North America dominates the global chromatography instruments market, supported by robust government R&D funding, advanced healthcare systems. This growth is also being complemented by the presence of major players such as Thermo Fisher, Phenomenex, and Bio-Rad Laboratories. The U.S. is the dominant market in this region and allocates significant over 2.8% of GDP towards R&D, fostering innovation and attracting international market participants. Stringent regulatory standards for drug safety and environmental testing is further bolstering the adoption of these devices, positioning the region as a hub for chromatography instrument manufacturing and research.
The appeal for prior consent of Sartorius Stedim Biotech S.A.'s takeover of the Chromatography Equipment Business of Novasep Process SAS was granted by the Federal Trade Commission in February 2022. Additionally, in May 2022, Agilent Technologies and APC Ltd. agreed to collaborate on integrating technologies for automated process monitoring via liquid chromatography. These strategic moves are expected to accelerate market growth in the region.
Rising cancer incidences is also driving the demand for these instruments, with the American Cancer Society projecting 2.0 million new cases and 611,720 deaths in the US in 2025, up from 1.9 million cases and 609,360 deaths in 2022. This growth, driven by shifting lifestyles, is leading to increasing adoption of chromatography for new cancer vaccine development, further supporting market expansion.
