The market is segmented on the basis of application, type, technology, and end-user.
On the basis of application, the India chromatography solvents market is segmented into analytical chromatography and preparative chromatography. The analytical chromatography segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 46.5% in 2024, owing to its critical role in precise testing, quality control, and regulatory compliance across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries. Analytical chromatography requires high-purity solvents to ensure accurate separation and detection of chemical components, making it a preferred choice for laboratories conducting both routine and advanced analyses. High R&D investments, coupled with regulatory emphasis on product safety, further reinforce its dominance. Laboratories, academic institutions, and contract research organizations extensively rely on analytical chromatography for testing and validation. The segment also benefits from rising automation in laboratories, enhancing efficiency and reproducibility. In addition, its integration with advanced analytical techniques makes it indispensable for critical testing applications.
The preparative chromatography segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 20.2% from 2025 to 2032, driven by increasing demand for bulk purification in pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. Preparative chromatography enables isolation of compounds at larger scales for drug formulation, natural product extraction, and specialty chemicals. Expanding biotech startups and industrial-scale manufacturing in India are fueling adoption. Preparative techniques are also gaining traction in cosmetics and food processing for ingredient purification. Government support for modern laboratory infrastructure further promotes growth. In addition, rising focus on process efficiency and high-throughput purification is boosting preparative chromatography adoption. The segment’s ability to meet large-scale production requirements makes it increasingly attractive.
On the basis of type, the chromatography solvents market is segmented into polar solvents and non-polar solvents. The Polar Solvents segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 52% in 2024, driven by their extensive use in HPLC and UHPLC systems for high-precision analyses. Polar solvents such as methanol, acetonitrile, and water-based mixtures provide excellent solubility, stability, and separation performance for polar compounds. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors rely heavily on these solvents for accurate testing and regulatory compliance. Academic and research institutions also prefer polar solvents for reproducible experimental results. Their compatibility with multiple analytical techniques enhances laboratory flexibility. The segment is further strengthened by increasing investments in high-end laboratory instrumentation and automation. Moreover, polar solvents are preferred for analytical applications in environmental monitoring and food testing.
The non-polar solvents segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 19.5% from 2025 to 2032, fueled by growing applications in preparative chromatography and industrial-scale purification. Non-polar solvents like hexane and toluene are essential for isolating hydrophobic compounds, lipids, and specialty chemicals. Rapid growth of biopharmaceutical manufacturing and cosmetic product development in India supports adoption. Technological advancements in solvent recovery and process optimization enhance cost-effectiveness. The segment is gaining traction among startups and small-scale laboratories requiring scalable purification processes. Increasing emphasis on quality and safety in industrial products also contributes to growth. Moreover, expanding applications in natural product extraction and research-based isolation further accelerate the segment.
On the basis of technology, the chromatography solvents market is segmented into liquid chromatography, HPLC, UHPLC, gas chromatography, and others. The High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 48.7% in 2024, due to its wide adoption across pharmaceutical, biotech, and food testing industries. HPLC provides high resolution, sensitivity, and reproducibility, which are essential for quality control and R&D. Laboratories rely on HPLC for analyzing complex mixtures, regulatory testing, and routine quality assessments. Its versatility in sample types and compatibility with various detectors strengthen adoption. Established infrastructure and regulatory acceptance make HPLC the backbone of chromatography workflows. Continuous technological upgrades in HPLC instruments enhance efficiency and throughput. The segment’s ability to deliver accurate results consistently reinforces dominance in India.
The Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 21% from 2025 to 2032, driven by the need for faster analysis, reduced solvent consumption, and superior separation resolution. UHPLC is increasingly adopted for pharmaceutical research, metabolomics, and complex sample analysis. Laboratories implementing UHPLC benefit from reduced processing times and higher throughput. Rising investments in advanced lab infrastructure in India support its rapid growth. Its applications in precision medicine, quality testing, and R&D further enhance adoption. The technology allows for smaller particle size columns, improving separation efficiency. Furthermore, the need for cost-effective and eco-friendly analytical methods is accelerating UHPLC deployment.
On the basis of end-user, the chromatography solvents market is segmented into pharmaceutical, biotechnology industry, academics and research, environmental, cosmetic industry, and food and beverage. The pharmaceutical segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 50.5% in 2024, driven by India’s strong pharmaceutical manufacturing and R&D ecosystem. Pharmaceutical companies extensively use chromatography solvents for drug development, quality control, and regulatory compliance. High R&D expenditure, stringent safety standards, and expanding production pipelines sustain the segment. Analytical and preparative chromatography are widely used in both generic and specialty drug development. Rising demand for high-quality pharmaceuticals globally boosts solvent consumption. Continuous technological upgrades in laboratory infrastructure strengthen adoption. The segment also benefits from collaborations between pharma companies and CROs to enhance analytical capabilities.
The biotechnology industry segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 22% from 2025 to 2032, fueled by the growing biopharmaceutical sector in India. Biotechnology companies increasingly adopt chromatography for protein purification, vaccine development, and therapeutic compound isolation. Government initiatives supporting biopharma research and modern lab infrastructure further boost growth. Rising clinical research and biomanufacturing activities are driving solvent demand. Startups focusing on novel biologics and personalized medicine contribute to the segment’s rapid expansion. Advanced techniques like UHPLC and preparative chromatography are widely applied in this sector. The trend toward automation and high-throughput processing enhances efficiency. In addition, demand for purified biologics in both domestic and export markets is increasing.
