Key Players
Some of the key players in the global ion chromatography market are Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Metrohm (Switzerland), Tosoh Bioscience (Japan), Shimadzu (Japan), Qingdao Shenghan Chromatograph Technology Co., Ltd (China), MembraPure GmbH (Germany), Nittoseiko Analytech Co., Ltd (Japan), Qingdao Puren Instrument (China), East West Analytical Instruments (China), Qingdao Luhai (China), Sykam (Germany), and Cecil Instruments (UK), among others.
Segmentation
The global ion chromatography market has been segmented by technique and application.
By technique, the market is segmented into ion-exchange chromatography, ion-exclusion chromatography, and ion-pair chromatography. The ion-exchange chromatography segment held the major share in 2020, owing to the wide range of ion chromatography techniques in various applications such as environmental testing, wastewater analysis, etc. According to a 2017 Separations article, ion chromatography has been accepted worldwide as a reference method for evaluating anions and cations in wastewater management as it enables the replacement of several individual wet chemistry methods for common ions with one instrumental technique. Ion chromatography was widely accepted by many other organizations, such as ASTM and USEPA, as a reference method for water and wastewater analysis.
On the basis of application type, the market has been segmented into environmental testing, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, chemicals industry, and others. The pharmaceutical industry held the largest market share in 2020 due to rising investment by pharmaceutical companies in RD and the adoption of chromatographic techniques in the pharmaceutical industry.
Regional Analysis
Based on region, North America is projected to dominate the global ion chromatography market in 2020. Factors such as the presence of many centers and institutes engaged in the RD of advanced therapies and increasing use of ion chromatography for applications such as environmental monitoring, food testing, and others. In addition, the presence of regulatory standards in this region is another driving factor for the market growth. For instance, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a non-government not-for-profit organization involved in setting up standards for the use of ion chromatography in pharmaceutical applications.
Europe is expected to hold the second-largest position in the global ion chromatography market in 2020. The key factor attributing to the market growth is the increasing RD spending to enhance research activities. For instance, in 2018, a report published in Eurostat stated that RD investment in the EU increased from 2.07 to 2.11%of GDP.
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market over the assessment period due to the low cost of ion chromatography instruments by suppliers along with high demand from pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and environmental laboratory customers. Furthermore, the market growth in the Rest of the World is due to the rising penetration of advanced healthcare technologies in research organizations focused on adopting ion chromatography in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Developing Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia are also key contributors to the growth of the market.
