Ion chromatography is an effective method to determine the concentrations of anions and cations in liquid, gaseous, and solid samples. Regulatory analysis techniques have been devised utilizing this methodology by organizations such as the ISO, US EPA, ASTM, and AOAC. In ion chromatography, the two detection methods currently used are electrochemical and spectrometric. Based on the nature of the charge present on the ion, there are two types of ion exchange chromatography procedures. Anion exchange chromatography and cation exchange chromatography are the two methods. Ion exchange resins can be used as pharmaceutical carriers and in slow-release applications. For example, Cholestyramine is a dried and ground strong base anion resin that helps to reduce blood cholesterol by binding bile acid.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global ion chromatography market:

COVID-19 was announced as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) and hampered the world economy badly. Many governments worldwide have taken several measures such as lockdowns, travel bans, social distancing, and temporary shutdowns to curb the spread of the coronavirus. As a result, COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the worldwide ion chromatography market. Ion chromatography is used in various applications such as healthcare, F&B, and others. Due to COVID-19, the F&D industry has seen severe negative impacts, such as supply chain disruptions and halted manufacturing and business activities. However, the global ion chromatography market is expected to recover quickly and register a healthy CAGR in the coming years owing to the factors such as the declining impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and growing habituation towards new normalization.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing usage of ion exchange chromatography for purification and the growing need for monoclonal antibodies propel market growth.

Protein A affinity chromatography is more expensive; the process becomes more expensive. Various attempts are being made to make the process more cost-efficient. Using two-column ion exchange (cation and anion exchange) chromatography is one of the most successful ways. The global ion chromatography market is being driven by the growing use of ion exchange chromatography for purification and the increasing demand for monoclonal antibodies. Over the last decade, the use of monoclonal antibodies has skyrocketed, and estimates imply that mAbs and their variants account for over a third of all biopharmaceuticals in development, including vaccines and gene therapy. Biopharmaceutical goods must be pure, as any impurity can substantially impact the body's response to the medicine and cause various unneeded difficulties. Typically, a three-column chromatography technique is used to achieve this high level of purification.

One of the key advantages of ion exchange chromatography is that there is only one interaction in the separation: the analytical species interacting with the stationary phase. Because of the vast range of applications and connected markets, ion exchange chromatography has the largest market share. During the forecast period, this market share is expected to grow even more. Technology plays a vital role in product development and improvement. Advances in ion chromatography provide a massive opportunity for the market to cater to many applications, including environmental and chemical analysis. Furthermore, artificial intelligence and automation have already begun to be implemented at a greater level in the industry. As a result, data analysis should be significantly faster and more precise as AI and automation are combined. 

The recent advancements and growing ease in the process of ion chromatography are anticipated to favor the market's growth rate during the forecast period. For instance, the introduction of a new type of organic polymers, the reduction of the diameter of the tube, the rising capacity of ion exchange, growing column efficiency, new chemical layers in the tubes, introduction of reagent-free ICs and monolithic columns for liquid chromatography and others, driving the market growth. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The global market for ion chromatography is projected to be hampered by the high equipment cost. Another aspect impeding the market is a scarcity of skilled personnel to operate the equipment. In addition, obtaining budget approvals for significant capital expenditures is frequently considered challenging.

This research report on the global ion chromatography market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on technology, application, and region.

Ion Chromatography Market – By Technology:

  • Ion-exchange Chromatography
  • Ion-exclusion Chromatography
  • Ion-pair Chromatography

Based on technology, the ion exchange segment is anticipated to capture the most significant share of the worldwide market during the forecast period. The growing adoption of ion-exchange technology in various industries such as F&D, wastewater, and other industries to evaluate quality and safety primarily contributes to segmental growth.

On the other hand, the ion-pair chromatography segment is also expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period due to its several advantages, such as the ability to segregate ionized and non-ionized molecules simultaneously along with its precision and fast detection capability, which enables it to be used in multiple sectors.

Ion Chromatography Market – By Application:

  • Environmental Testing
  • Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Food Industry
  • Chemicals Industry
  • Other Applications

Based on the application, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Ion chromatography is an extensively utilized analytical technique for characterizing new drug ingredients and therapeutic products in the pharmaceutical segment. It is used throughout the process, from method development to dosage analysis. The approach has made sample analysis more comfortable in recent years. Because it may be done overnight with multiple samples, this process saves a lot of time and money. In addition, small molecules or giant molecules, such as proteins, can be analyzed.

However, the food segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the worldwide market during the forecast period owing to the growing usage of ion chromatography in the F&B industry to test the impurities of F&B products.
