A gas chromatograph (GC) is a powerful analytical instrument sed in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. The analysis performed by a gas chromatograph is called gas chromatography. Gas chromatography is used in a wide variety of applications including petroleum and petrochemical, oil & gas, environmental, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, cosmetics, flavors and fragrances, etc.

The global gas chromatography (gas chromatography instrument and gas chromatography reagent) market size was valued at $1,657.93 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $2,146.39 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2020 to 2026. Growing potential for gas chromatography in pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry is the chief contributor for the growth of the market.

The gas chromatography market is segmented on the basis of product, application, and region. The report offers a breakdown of market shares by product, including Gas Chromatography Instrument, Gas Chromatography Reagent. The instrument submarket can be further classified into laboratory gas chromatography, process gas chromatography. The laboratory gas chromatography segment dominated the overall GC instrument market and accounted for more than 73% of the total market.

Based on applications, the market for gas chromatography is segmented into oil & gas, petrochemical & chemical, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals & biotech, environmental, academics & research institutes, and other. The pharmaceuticals & biotech segment was valued at USD 362.62 million in the year 2019 and is forecasted to reach a value of USD 483.64 million in the year 2026, registering a CAGR of 4.2% during the period of assessment.
