Chromatography Resin Market Research Report Information By Type (Natural Resin, Synthetic Resin, Inorganic Media) Technique (Ion-exchange chromatography, Affinity chromatography, Hydrophobic interaction chromatography, Size exclusion chromatography, Multi-modal chromatography, Others) Forecast 2030

Chromatography resin Market Overview

The global chromatography resin market was valued at USD  12,771.5 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD  22,750.0 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.96%.

Chromatography is a process to split or separate a blend of colored components into individual elements. Chromatography resins help in the isolation of desired components from a mixture of compounds. They are incorporated into chromatography devices and are used in diagnostic test development and separation of biomolecules. Choice of resins is very crucial to ensure an effective and accurate separation of individual components.

Chromatography resins are media used to capture and polish mAbs, antibody fragments, vaccines, and other biomolecules using a stationary phase. There are multiple types of ion-exchange resin. Most commercial resins are made of polystyrene sulfonate.

COVID-19 Impact on the Chromatography Resin Market:

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the global chromatography resin market. This is attributed to the development of effective vaccines and treatments by companies and governments worldwide, which resulted in the employment of robust analytical methods by researchers across the globe.

Researchers used chromatography, a strong laboratory-based analytical approach, to better understand the Sars-CoV-2 virus and develop new medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic tools to aid in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. Because of its central role in viral pathogenesis, the SARS-CoV-2 virus's spike protein has piqued researchers' interest as a vaccine target. While many researchers have attempted to classify the spike protein's glycopeptides and glycans, intact protein analysis utilizing reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) may provide novel analytical insights. More effective medicines can be identified and developed by refining functional and structural understanding of the intact spike protein. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to quantify remdesivir in the blood plasma of a COVID-19 patient and thus provide data on its efficacy as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2.

The crucial need for developing the effective treatment for COVID-19 during the year 2020 resulted in high demand for chromatographic techniques, thus, having a positive impact on the global market.

Market Dynamics

• Use of chromatography techniques in pharmaceuticals & biotechnology industry: The HPLC chromatography technique is considered the most important analytical technique used in the pharmaceutical business to identify and quantify pharmaceuticals. This is used either in the active pharmaceutical ingredient or in the formulations during the research, development, and production of a medicine. The chromatography methods are accurate, precise, quick, specific, and easy; therefore, they are widely used for regular quality control examination of medicines in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form. They can be used in drug research and development, drug impurity analysis, assay, content uniformity, and drug method development and validation. HPLC's capacity to reveal the structure and determine the amounts of contaminants in pharmaceutical formulations is one of its key advantages. HPLC is particularly well suited to chemicals that are difficult to volatilize, are thermally unstable, and have large molecular weights. As a result, it can measure a medication in both its pure and dose form.

• High cost of affinity resins: In a typical platform process for the manufacturing of mAb therapies, the steps following fermentation account for over 80% of the total process costs, with chromatography accounting for up to 60% of the downstream expenses. Protein A resin is the most significant contributor to the entire cost. Traditional chromatographic medium with non-proteinaceous ligands cost roughly half as much as Protein A resin. The cost of resin for a large column (diameter >1 m) can surpass USD 1 million. The fact that most antibody therapies require frequent and substantial doses of Protein A makes the expense of Protein A resin even more difficult.

• Increasing demand for biosimilars: Each biosimilar is made using the same amino acid starting materials and the same precise, step-by-step processes as its reference drug — a well-tested, widely-used biologic drug that’s already been on the market for years. All biosimilars are prescription drugs. Biosimilars are intended to provide a more cost-effective alternative to high-priced branded biologics. This will help in easy accessibility of medicines and appropriate therapies for the patients.

• Adoption of green chromatography: To lessen the risks to the environment and human health associated with the use of chromatography, scientists have modified the technology such that non-toxic chemicals can be used instead of toxic ones where possible, and the energy consumption is lowered and derived from renewable sources. Acetonitrile, a volatile organic molecule, is the most widely used solvent in chromatography. According to studies, a mixture of propylene carbonate–ethanol–water can be used to substitute this harmful solvent with equivalent efficacy. Other research has indicated that a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol can be utilized as a more environmentally acceptable alternative to acetonitrile. Solutions of 0.04% triethylamine in water are also an effective alternative for toxic chemicals used in chromatography
