Overview:

Chiral column chromatography is a type of column chromatography wherein the stationary phase comprises a single enantiomer of a chiral compound instead of being achiral. Chiral separation of racemic drugs has rising importance in biotechnology & pharmaceutical industries in order to yield optimal therapeutic effect. Increasing significance of chromatography tests for drug approvals and technological advances in chromatography columns is expected to majorly drive the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, worldwide growing pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies coupled with government investments in biotechnology research and development will also assist in the market growth. Rising alliance between market participants and research laboratories & academic institutes, along with escalating demand for chiral chromatography columns in research activities in medicines, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics is also anticipated to foster the market growth in near future.

The pre-packed columns segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period attributed to augmenting demand for analytical columns in industries and laboratories. On the basis of applications, the liquid chromatography segment will account for a significant market share from 2018 to 2016 due to widespread applications of high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography in chiral chromatography. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies shall spearhead the market owing to a surge in the number of market players coupled with increasing investments in research & development.

North America will hold a major chunk of the market owing to significant position in pharmaceuticals industry, increasing research activities in drug & biologic development, chromatography conferences, and government investments in the chromatography market. A surge in the number of partnerships or collaborations between market players and research laboratories & academic institutes alongside outsourcing of drug discovery and development services in India, China, Japan, and Australia are also anticipated to witness a lucrative market growth in Asia Pacific. The prominent market players are gaining competitive advantages through the implementation of new product launch, merger & acquisition, and partnership or collaboration strategies.
