Process Gas Chromatography

The Process Gas Chromatography Market Research study delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The study is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and a select group of countries.

The Process Gas Chromatography Market Is Driven by Need for Real-time Data, But Hampered by Oil Prices

Process gas chromatography is used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition.  Typical uses include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture and determining their relative amounts.  This report looks in-depth at different detectors, column types, industries, and applications.

Real-time information has become essential for all industry sectors and applications as they allow those responsible to take quick and informed decisions.  This adds to flexibility as well as reduces the waste/commodity consumption.

Gas chromatography is an established technology, but until a few years ago, it was mostly laboratory-bound.  The move into the process is driven by new materials, faster hardware/software, stricter regulations, and the resulting growing requirements of the industry.

Process gas chromatographs are predominately used in the upstream oil & gas and refining industries where depressed prices continued to hamper growth.  This negative investment climate has spread to other vertical markets, leading to a slowdown across most of the major markets. 

ARC does expect to see an uptick in MRO activities.  This holds an opportunity for the process gas chromatography market as digitalization, product analysis, and further automation fulfill the industry’s growing need for real-time data to react faster and more effectively.

Signs of better days ahead have been the stabilization of the Chinese market and the lowering of the exploitation costs of shale gas that will revive that industry.

Process Gas Chromatography Strategic Issues

The challenge in the process gas chromatography market is how suppliers can offer increasing value propositions to end users and OEMs.  This research answers key questions, such as:

• What business strategies should suppliers deploy?
• Which technologies, product features, and services are up-and-coming?
• Which industries are the most attractive for suppliers to target?
• Which regional markets provide growth potential?
