The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Market is expected to grow from USD 6.492 billion in 2025 to USD 8.090 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.50%.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a technique that helps in separating and identifying components in a mixture. Ongoing research and development are contributing to expanding the application of HPLC in the medical, research, and manufacturing sectors. Moreover, the high sensitivity and accuracy of HPLC endorse its increasing adoption by law enforcement agencies for detecting performance-enhancement drugs in urine, thereby augmenting the market growth. HPLC tests are gaining prominence for drug approvals, as many countries have started focusing on using this technology. Other factors, such as the growing popularity of the LC-MS technique and surging life sciences R&D spending, are also propelling the HPLC market growth.
However, high-cost equipment will be a key challenge to market growth over the forecast period. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing improved technologies that can help researchers with high-quality analysis. This will push the HPLC market growth upwards over the next five years. Moreover, developing economies like China and India are expected to create numerous opportunities for HPLC equipment vendors over the projected period.
The instrument segment accounted for a notable market share owing to the increasing use of HPLC equipment for analysis across various sectors. However, the consumables segment is expected to grow at a high rate over the projected period. The growth is mainly driven by technological advancements in the HPLC for consumables. The growing investments in the healthcare sector and the expanding importance of HPLC in drug approval are significantly contributing to the segment’s growth.
Geographically, North America accounted for the major market share in 2016 and will remain a key regional market over the forecasted period. The extensive R&D spending in the United States is the primary factor boosting this regional market growth. Moreover, the flourishing pharmaceuticals industry in Canada is significantly contributing to the high North American regional market share. However, the Asia Pacific is projected to witness high growth over the projected period owing to high demand for these systems from China and India, because of increasing investments by the government and private players in the pharmaceutical and research sectors.
The major players discussed in the report include Shimadzu Corporation, Agilent Technologies, Phenomenex, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waters Corporation, Jasco, PerkinElmer, Novasep, Bio-Rad Laboratories, and Gilson.
The global HPLC market is dominated by a few players owing to their capability to invest in continuous research and development. Moreover, the need for skilled labor and knowledge, coupled with high initial investment, restricts the entry of new entrants, which further enhances the position of existing players.
