HPLC SOLVENT MARKET OVERVIEW

Global HPLC solvent market size was anticipated to be worth USD 0.67 billion in 2024, projected to reach USD 0.94 billion by 2033 at a 3.8% CAGR during the forecast period.

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

Rising Consumer Awareness to Boost the Market

The rising consumer awareness of the health benefits of them, such as improving the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of analytical results, reducing the risk of contamination and interference, and enhancing the performance and lifespan of HPLC instruments. They are also a good source of high purity and quality solvents, which are essential for maintaining a high standard of analysis and research. Consumers who use them can obtain more precise and consistent data, which can help them make better decisions, improve their productivity, and comply with the regulatory standards and guidelines in their respective industries.

Growing Demand For Convenient and Ready-To-Use Them to Expand the Market

The growing demand for convenient and ready-to-use Ones, especially among busy and urban consumers who have limited time and resources for solvent preparation and purification. They offer a quick and easy way to obtain solvents that are pre-filtered, degassed, and certified for specific applications, such as HPLC, LC-MS, UHPLC-MS, and gradient or isocratic elution. They are also available in various packaging options, such as amber bottles, aluminum bottles, recyclers, and borosilicate bottles, to suit different needs and preferences. Consumers who use them can save time and money, reduce the risk of human error, and increase the efficiency and convenience of their analytical processes.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost to Potentially Impede Market Growth

One of the factors restraining the growth of the HPLC solvent market is the high cost and environmental impact of these solvents. HPLC solvents are more expensive than conventional solvents, as they undergo rigorous purification processes to remove impurities, such as water, metals, organic compounds, particle matter, and other contaminants. The cost of HPLC solvents can also vary depending on the type, grade, category, and packaging of the solvents. Moreover, HPLC solvents can pose environmental and health hazards, as they are often volatile, flammable, toxic, or carcinogenic.
