The HPLC solvent market is a segment of the global high purity solvent market that focuses on the production, distribution, and consumption of solvents that are compatible with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems, which are analytical instruments that separate, identify, and quantify the components of a sample.

They are essential for the performance and quality of HPLC analysis, as they affect the resolution, sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility of the results. They are widely used in various industries, such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, environmental, and forensic, for various applications, such as drug development, quality control, food safety, environmental monitoring, and forensic investigation.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Encouraged by Pandemic due to Increased Demand for HPLC Solvents in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the HPLC solvent market share. The pandemic has increased the demand for them in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, as they are widely used for the development, analysis, and quality control of drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for COVID-19. For instance, a study published in the Microchemical Journal in October 2021 demonstrated a novel HPLC-based method for the determination of favipiravir, an emerging antiviral Covid 19 treatment option1. Moreover, the pandemic has also stimulated the research and innovation activities in the life sciences and healthcare sectors, which require high purity solvents for various applications, such as protein analysis, metabolomics, genomics, and drug discovery

LATEST TRENDS

"Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Technologies to Drive Market Growth"

One of the recent trends in the Market is the increasing demand for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) solvents, especially among consumers who require faster, more efficient, and more sensitive analysis of complex samples. UThey are a type of high purity solvents that are compatible with UHPLC systems, which operate at higher pressures and use smaller particle sizes than conventional HPLC systems. UHPLC solvents offer several advantages over them, such as reduced analysis time, lower solvent consumption, higher resolution, and better peak shapes

HPLC SOLVENT MARKET SEGMENTATION

• By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Normal Phase HPLC and Reverse Phase HPLC.

Normal phase HPLC has a polar stationary phase, usually pure silica, and a non-polar mobile phase, usually a non-aqueous solvent. This type of HPLC separates analytes based on their polarity, with more polar analytes having longer retention times. Reverse phase HPLC has a non-polar stationary phase, usually a modified silica substrate with long hydrophobic chains, and a polar mobile phase, usually water, methanol, or acetonitrile. This type of HPLC separates analytes based on their hydrophobicity, with more hydrophobic analytes having longer retention times. The choice of HPLC type depends on the nature of the sample, the desired resolution, and the availability of the solvents.  

• By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology Industry, Life Sciences, Environmental Testing and Others.

They are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for the development, analysis, and quality control of drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics. They help in the separation, identification, and quantification of the active ingredients, impurities, metabolites, and degradation products of pharmaceutical products. They also help in the validation and optimization of the synthesis and formulation processes of pharmaceutical products. They are extensively used in the biotechnology industry for the characterization, purification, and modification of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. They help in the determination of the molecular weight, structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules. They also help in the production and evaluation of biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and gene therapies.

DRIVING FACTORS
