Ion chromatography refers to a separation procedure that evaluates aggregate concentrations of ionic species by splitting the mixture based on their interaction with resin. It aids in quantifying various anions, including fluoride, sodium, ammonium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and lithium, which enables the pharmaceutical companies to purify liquids and compounds. On account of these properties, ion chromatography finds extensive applications in isolating selected proteins, determining the sugar and salt content of food products, and implementing drinking water analysis to assess its pollution level. At present, it is commercially categorized into varying types, such as ion exchange, ion pair, and ion exclusion chromatography.
The widespread adoption of ion chromatography in the food and beverage (F&B) sector for accurately analyzing and detecting various ingredients, quality, water sensitivity, and content in the food products to ensure product safety is one of the key factors driving the market toward growth. This is further supported by the extensive utilization of ion chromatography techniques in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for the quantitative analysis of drugs, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, proteomics, and characterizing new medicinal substances. In line with this, the numerous favorable initiatives undertaken by the government bodies of several nations for examining counterfeit products to meet the required authenticity and safety standard is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the rising demand for ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) for pre-concentration of traced solution components and performing water purification activities are contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating investments in research and development (R&D) activities for introducing advanced ion chromatography techniques is creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.
