Technological Advancements, Remote Connectivity and Green Chemistry & Sustainable Operations Fuel North America Gas Chromatography (GC) Market

The development of intelligent, connected features to enhance and simplify user experience is a major trend in the gas chromatography market. Features, including automatic leak detections and troubleshooting diagnostics, enable operators to work more quickly and accurately while producing superior results. Furthermore, proactively assisting users with preventive maintenance procedures lowers unscheduled downtime and sample reruns, which significantly boosts productivity.

Moreover, cross-training operators are in high demand, and even when they are not physically present in a laboratory, they must be informed about what is going on in other ones at the same time. As "Industry 4.0" digital transformation drives resource deployment optimization throughout analytical laboratory organizations globally, remote connectivity is a trend of the future.

Another key trend is the use of less power, water, helium, and other natural resources in the development of many modern instruments. Other trends include green chemistry and sustainable operations. Recently developed, inexpensive, oil-free GC-MS pumps - which operate far more quietly and cleanly and prevent oil spills - are being used more frequently. Another emerging trend is the migration of applications to quicker, greener, and smaller GC systems using effective direct heating technology.

North America Gas Chromatography (GC) Market Overview

The North America gas chromatography market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The region is a pioneer in the adoption of advanced technology for the analysis of a wide variety of samples across various industries. Gas chromatography has widely found its application in the oil & gas industry. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the total crude oil production in North America was 46,233,753 Terajoules (TJ) in 2021, an increase of 66% from 2000. Therefore, the growth of the oil and gas industry fosters the North America gas chromatography market growth. The construction of new power plants is rising in the region. For instance, Mexico is planning to build gas-fired power plants to increase the natural gas supply.

For instance, in November 2022, US-based New Fortress Energy announced signing a deal with the Mexican government to develop the LNG project Lakach offshore gas field in Mexico, which is expected to be completed in 2024. Gas chromatographs (GC) play a crucial role in optimizing plant performance and determining the calorific value of the LNG for fiscal energy calculation quickly, accurately, and reliably. Hence, the rising number of power plants fuels the demand for gas chromatographs. To cater to this demand for gas chromatography, the region’s market players are launching various solutions. For example, in April 2021, Agilent Technologies Inc.

launched the Agilent 8697 Headspace Sampler, the first headspace sampler with integrated gas chromatography communication. It marked the expansion of intelligence capability that was first launched with Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System in 2016 and later with Agilent 8890 and 8860 GC Systems in 2019. Many researchers are focused on extending the life cycle and safety of Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.

This leads to the adoption of analytical techniques such as gas chromatography as it is a suitable tool for the Li-ion battery electrolyte degradation mechanisms. Also, government initiatives to boost the electric vehicle market create a lucrative opportunity for the North America gas chromatography market. For instance, the Biden Administration has set a goal to electrify all new light-duty vehicles by 2027 and make all federal vehicle acquisitions electric by 2035.
