Gas Chromatography Market Trends

Growth Drivers 

• Rising awareness about industrial sustainability: As global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increase, industries become more aware of adopting eco-friendly solutions. For instance, till 2023, the chemical industry was emitting approximately 2.0 billion metric tons of CO2 annually, accounting for 5.0% of the global GHG emissions (ScienceDirect). Another IEA estimation revealed that this amount is poised to register 20.0% and 30.0% increments by 2030 and 2050, respectively. Thus, it has become essential to take proper action against this to combat global warming. With the help of GC detectors, the source of emissions in gas samples from chambers can be measured and controlled, propelling adoption in the gas chromatography market.
   
• Tech-based advancements in the process: Integration of advanced technology in the market is revolutionizing the efficacy of its existing product pipelines. On this note, in June 2022, PerkinElmer introduced an automated platform, GC 2400, enabling simplified operations, precise outcomes, and flexible monitoring in laboratories. This next-generation solution is designed to cater several customers from pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and industrial organizations with streamlined workflow and enhanced productivity. Such innovations are now being widely utilized to reduce the overall cost of production while maintaining compliance, attracting more organizations to invest in this sector.

Challenges

• Hurdles in competency and hiring workforce: The traditional devices available in the market are usually retailed at high pricing, which may impact their general accessibility. Particularly, the premium instruments with advanced features and functionalities are may become expensive for small-sized enterprises (SMEs). This further limit adoption in this field. Moreover, finding trained operators is becoming harder for these organizations, as it becomes an additional economic burden for them. Thus, continuous development and introduction of cost-effective commodities is highly required to maintain the market’s competency in all aspects.
