Global Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Market Growth 2025-2031
The global Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1639 million in 2025 to US$ 2181 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify volatile compounds in a mixture. It involves vaporizing a sample and passing it through a long, thin column filled with a stationary phase, where compounds are separated based on their interactions with the column and their volatility.
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combines the separation capabilities of GC with the identification power of mass spectrometry (MS). After separation by GC, the compounds are ionized and fragmented in the mass spectrometer, which provides detailed molecular information for precise identification. GC-MS is widely used in fields like environmental analysis, forensics, and pharmaceuticals due to its sensitivity and accuracy.
In this report, we only study gas chromatography instruments and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instruments, excluding consumables and reagents.
The growing demand for analytical techniques in industries such as pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, and food safety is a major driver of the gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) markets. These technologies are critical for detecting and analyzing trace compounds in complex mixtures, making them essential tools for quality control, regulatory compliance, and research. The increasing emphasis on environmental monitoring, particularly for detecting pollutants and contaminants, has further fueled demand for GC and GC-MS systems.
A significant challenge in the GC and GC-MS markets is the high cost of equipment and maintenance, which can limit their accessibility to smaller laboratories and businesses. The complexity of operating and maintaining these systems requires skilled personnel, and the cost of consumables, such as columns and detectors, adds to the overall expense. Additionally, the long analysis times for certain samples and the need for proper sample preparation can slow down workflow, posing operational challenges in fast-paced environments.China is the main sales region, with sales accounting for 30% of the global total in 2023. The second largest region is the United States, with sales accounting for 26% of the global total in 2018. At the same time, Japan, Southeast Asia, India and other countries are also heavy consumption areas.
