Supercritical Fluid Chromatography Market Analysis
The Supercritical Fluid Chromatography Market size is estimated at USD 1.7 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.14 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.77% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Certain factors that are driving the market growth include increasing demand for supercritical fluid chromatography in various industries and rise in research and development activities and government investments.
- Chromatography is the science of separation of mixtures into organic and inorganic compounds. This is done by passing the mixture in a solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
- Recently, the application of chromatography has increased in many fields, especially in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries. The growing use of chromatography in the pharmaceutical industry is for the separation of chiral compounds. These compounds have molecules that differ slightly in the way their atoms are oriented in space.
- As far as supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is concerned, the major advantages of preparative SFC include separation speed, the ability to achieve chiral separations, lower viscosity of the mobile phases, which allows high flow rates with acceptable pressure drops and results in higher productivity, reduction of solvent use of as much as 90% compared to liquid chromatography, and ease of processing collected sample fractions. Technological advancements in developing more accurate and efficient systems have also helped the market growth.
