The global market for Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) was estimated to be worth US$ 137 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 164 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In 2024, global Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) production reached approximately 3200 units, with an average global market price of around US$ 43000 per unit. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is one of the most powerful and versatile analytical techniques available for understanding and predicting polymer performance. It is the most convenient technique for characterizing the complete molecular weight distribution of a polymer. Less sophisticated GPC systems, typically referred to as "clean-up" systems, are used more as a sample preparation technique on complex samples.
The Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) market has been witnessing steady growth, driven by the expanding need for accurate molecular weight determination and polymer characterization in a wide array of industries. GPC, a form of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), separates analytes based on their molecular size, making it particularly essential for analyzing synthetic polymers, biopolymers, proteins, and other macromolecules. As materials science, biopharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology advance globally, the demand for high-precision analytical tools like GPC continues to rise. Technological advances are shaping the GPC market significantly. The integration of multi-detector systems-including refractive index (RI), ultraviolet (UV), multi-angle light scattering (MALS), and viscometers-has enabled absolute molecular weight determination and real-time conformational analysis. Automation, smart software, and data processing improvements have also increased throughput and reproducibility, making GPC systems more accessible even to non-expert users. These developments have enhanced the appeal of GPC for both industrial and academic laboratories. Regionally, North America and Europe dominate the high-end segment of the market due to their robust pharmaceutical, chemical, and research sectors. The Asia-Pacific region, however, is expected to experience the fastest growth, especially in countries like China, India, South Korea, and Japan, where investment in high-performance materials, bio-based products, and research infrastructure is accelerating. The push for local manufacturing of analytical instruments, coupled with government support for scientific innovation, is further expanding GPC adoption in the region.
