Global Gas Chromatography Systems Market to Reach $3.4 Billion by 2026

Gas Chromatography (GC) is a laboratorial, analytical procedure designed to identify, and analyze chemical compounds through the use of gases, which can either be liquid or solid in characteristic. Growth in the market is backed by increasing investments in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology sector, rising funding from governments for research in various sectors, expansion in emerging markets, technological advances and individual factors supporting demand in other end-use sectors. Increasing focus on developing novel and more effective drugs is a major factor expected to drive growth in adoption of gas chromatographs in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology sector. Rising stringency in quality and safety aspects is expected to support growth of gas chromatography in agriculture and food and food products industry, while growing concerns over environmental pollution and concomitant increase in testing for pollution are expected to supplement market growth. The demand for high-speed, miniaturized and portable GC devices is expected to grow in near future more due to their sensitivity. The handheld GC is suitable for detecting chemical warfare agents. Miniaturization is another trend catching up in the market, with increasing focus on developing miniaturized systems that occupy less space and enable carrying the system to the area where sample is prepared.
