Empty Chromatographic Columns Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Material (Plastic, Glass, Others), By Application (Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Academic, Others), Region  

Empty Chromatographic Columns Market size was valued at US$ 203.46 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024-2030. The empty chromatographic columns are sold without any filling material or stationary phase. Empty chromatographic columns serve as vessels or containers for the separation process, where the sample is added, and components are separated depending on their interactions with the stationary phase. These columns come in a variety of sizes, materials, and configurations to enable a wide range of analytical and preparative chromatography procedures. Chromatography columns are used in a variety of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverages, environmental studies, and research facilities. The market for empty chromatographic columns is largely driven by the rising demand for chromatography methods in different industries such as research, quality control, and industrial processes.

The increased demand for precise and reliable analysis in industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology is boosting the demand for empty chromatographic columns. Furthermore, technological advances in chromatography, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), and preparative chromatography, have increased the adoption of chromatographic techniques, resulting in an increased demand for compatible and high-quality empty chromatographic columns for optimal performance. Furthermore, the rising biopharmaceutical industries engaged in the production of medicinal proteins, antibodies, and other biologics require high-quality and exceptionally pure molecules, creating further prospects for the expansion of the empty chromatographic columns market. However, the high cost associated with the production of chromatography columns especially for advanced techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) poses challenges to the growth of the empty chromatographic columns market. Several established manufacturers as well as emerging players offer a wide range of column options to fulfill the needs of several end-use industries. For instance, in February 2023, Arcmed increased its selection of glass chromatography columns. The well-known Omnifit brand of chromatography labware components has introduced new sizes of EZ Columns designed to optimize the performance of your resins and increase separation resolution.
