Report Code : CVMI2312253 | Published Date : March 3, 2025
Market Overview
Chromatography tubing is an essential component in chromatographic systems, facilitating the transport of solvents, buffers, and analytes between columns, detectors, and other modules. These tubes are designed for chemical compatibility, pressure resistance, and minimal analyte adsorption. The market is growing steadily due to the increasing demand in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental testing, and food safety applications. As the usage of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) expands, the global need for durable, inert, and precision-manufactured tubing is also rising.
