The Global Chromatography Food Testing Market Size is predicted to record at an 6.50% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- Chromatography techniques are among the most widely used analytical methods in food testing laboratories, driving the growth of the chromatography food testing market.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a global revenue share in 2023.
- Chromatography systems typically have limited sample throughput and might face challenges in scaling up to accommodate high sample volumes or batch testing requirements.
Chromatography is a flexible analytical method that may be used to recognize and quantify a variety of additives and pollutants in food products. In response to increased worries about food safety, quality, and authenticity, the chromatographic food testing business is a sector of the economy that is expanding quickly. The demand for this industry is expected to rise due to developing food traffic, rising microbiological contamination occurrences, rising food mislabeling incidents, and changing governmental rules on a global scale. It is expected that outbreaks of food-borne diseases and the growth of retail chains will propel the food testing industry forward.
However, chromatography equipment's high acquisition cost and upkeep might deter specific food testing labs and businesses. Moreover, chromatography testing can be labor-intensive, which presents a problem for food businesses that need to spot and handle food safety problems swiftly.

Market Segmentation:
The Chromatography Food Testing Market is segmented based on technique; the market is segmented into gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography (LC), and others. Based on application, the market is further bifurcated into meat and meat, dairy and dairy products, cereal, grain, pulse, processed food, and others.
Based on technique, the gas chromatography (GC) segment is a major contributor to the Chromatography Food Testing Market.
The gas chromatography food testing market is anticipated to develop at a CAGR of 9.8%. Compounds that can vaporize without decomposing are typically analyzed and separated using gas chromatography (GC). GC is used to identify compounds, prepare pure compounds from mixtures, and verify the purity of substances. It can also be used to separate the components in a mixture. The primary factor accelerating market growth is increased partnerships between chromatography instrument manufacturers, academic institutions, and research labs. Other factors driving the gas chromatography food market include an increase in GC-MS adoption, an increase in environmental pollution reduction policies and initiatives, an increase in food safety concerns, and an increase in the significance of chromatography tests in the drug approval process.
The grain segment witnessed growth at a rapid rate.
The fastest-growing sector is predicted to be grains, with a CAGR of 10.5%. Consumers want to know that the products they consume, sell, or buy are secure and wholesome at every point of the food supply chain. Verification through analysis for nutritional content, product quality, the absence of residues and mycotoxins, or the assessment of physical attributes is crucial in the grain commodity and stockfeed sector. The Food Testing Market is anticipated to grow as a result.
The Asia Pacific Chromatography Food Testing Market holds a significant revenue share in the region.
The technological trends in chromatography food testing are expected to drive the Asia Pacific market growth due to artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, connection technologies, and smart, automated technologies powered by data & machine learning are the technical advancements in chromatographic food testing that are now driving the market expansion. Before the epidemic, there was a lot of interest in the advantages of smart and automated technologies. Moreover, Europe is expected to be the largest market growth due to the increasing adoption of chromatography testing techniques and accurate information about the nutrients in a particular food. Others are expected to drive the market's growth. Due to its increased food production and strict regulations for food quality, Europe is predicted to rule the global market for chromatographic food testing in 2022.
Recent Developments:
- In March 2024, Element Materials Technology established its Manchester laboratory's Rapid Response Pharmaceutical Testing Service, offering clients worldwide expedited testing. The service will concentrate on a range of testing needs, such as elemental impurities, extractable and leachable, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and finished therapeutic products, and degradation manufacturing.
