Global market for HPLC Systems & Accessories is projected to reach $3.0 billion by 2010. Future growth in the relatively mature HPLC market is expected from replacement sector, technology refinement and improvements, rather than from new product developments. These include device automation, software improvement and high speed and accuracy in analysis with the advent of LCMS systems.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2008 -- Over the years, Liquid Chromatography has emerged as a workhorse technology in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, research and development, and industrial chemicals. Used alone or in combination with other high performance technologies, HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is a versatile technique for efficient separation, quantification and characterization of constituents of complex chemical mixtures. Present day HPLC devices are capable of analyzing almost all types of biological compounds including small molecules that can be isolated or synthesized.

United States and Europe comprise the major markets, collectively accounting for an estimated 70% share of the global HPLC systems & accessories market for 2008, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Proliferation of new applications, especially in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, is one of the major factors driving growth. Other drivers include integration with complementary techniques or the growing shift towards 'hyphenated technologies', and growing acceptance and addition of new dimensions to the technique.
