INTRODUCTION

STUDY OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study, conducted by BCC, is to offer a synopsis of the current characteristics of the global market for chromatography reagents in order to forecast its future.  The key intent is to provide an extensive analysis of the current market and the future trends for the chromatography reagents market.  The report offers analysis on the market size, market leaders, and factors affecting the market of chromatography reagents from the perspective of its end users, which includes the pharma and biotech, food and beverages, environmental agencies and other sectors.

This report investigates current and future strategies within the chromatography techniques and reagents market. The report takes a close look at the market’s inventiveness, its setbacks and future needs. The comparisons, usage and the advantages and disadvantages of different types of chromatography products and reagents are also covered in this report.  

A comprehensive analysis of chromatography reagents sales is given, broken down by regions—North America, Europe and emerging markets. Sales figures are forecast for the five-year period from 2012 through 2017.  

REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

Chromatography techniques and reagents are being used extensively in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in the development of pure drug compounds. The primary usage of chromatography techniques is for quality assurance of drug products wherein chromatography separation techniques can, in some cases, assure up to 99.9% purity level and can reveal the impurities to 0.1% or even smaller. These separations or analysis techniques use chromatography reagents for the measurement of the drug purity, which has led to the growing market of the reagents.  The study thus focuses on the usage of these reagents in various industries across the global markets.

Most of the techniques of chromatography and their reagents are discussed in this report. The fast-changing scenarios and developmental landscape of various technologies in the market justify focusing on this segment. Along with the end users—pharmaceutical and biotech, food and beverage, environmental agencies and other industries—merger and acquisition and collaborations of companies are also covered in this report. This study also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each reagent type/technology in light of new technologies, growing competition and changing customer needs.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY AND ITS AUDIENCE

This study contributes to knowledge and understanding of market growth and setbacks for chromatography reagents from the manufacturer and end user perspectives. Pharmaceutical, biochemical, chemical, petrochemical, food and beverage industries, clinics, forensics and environmental agencies will find this study to be of interest.  

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this study comprises the markets of reagents of chromatography along with various chromatography techniques.  BCC analyzes each market; the different types of chromatographic techniques and reagents; the regulatory aspects; the end users of the chromatographic reagents and market projections, its market leaders and market share.
