The global chromatography instruments market size was estimated at USD 9,822.6 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030. The growing pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive the market growth, as these instruments are extensively used in drug discovery, development, and quality control processes. Increasing investments in pharmaceutical R&D, particularly in emerging markets like Asia Pacific, are fueling the demand for chromatography instruments.

The rise of fields like proteomics and metabolomics, which study proteins and metabolites in biological systems, requires sophisticated chromatography instruments for analysis. Advancements in scientific research and the need for accurate and reliable instrumentation are driving the demand for chromatography instruments in the life sciences application. 

Chromatography techniques, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), are widely accepted analytical methods in the drug approval process. Regulatory bodies like the FDA mandate the use of chromatography instruments for testing the strength, purity, quality, and potency of drug products.
