Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) Market
1. Overview
The Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) Market encompasses analytical systems and accessories used for molecular-weight separation and characterization of polymers, macromolecules, and biopolymers. GPC is vital across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, polymers/plastics, and materials science — industries that demand accurate molecular-weight distribution and structural analysis.
The market is projected to grow from approximately USD 1.72 billion in 2025 to around USD 2.88 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of about 7.6%. Growth is driven by surging R&D investments, rising use of advanced polymers, and stricter regulatory standards requiring precise macromolecule characterization.
Technological innovations such as automated GPC systems, high-throughput detectors, and enhanced data analytics are broadening applications and improving efficiency. Moreover, smaller laboratories and emerging economies are increasingly adopting GPC technology due to its declining cost and ease of use.
