Chromatography resins play a crucial role in capturing and refining biomolecules like monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, vaccines, and other substances using a stationary phase. The purification process is driven by a mobile phase that propels the sample and chromatography resins through the stationary phase.
There are two main types of chromatography resins such as native and synthetic. Native resins are crafted from natural polymers like agarose, cellulose, and dextran. Various technology types, including affinity chromatography, anion exchange chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, size exclusion, and hydrophobic interaction, are employed in diverse applications such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, as well as water and environmental analysis.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the chromatography resins market by increasing costs of imported polymer matrices, ligands, specialty chemicals, and precision manufacturing equipment. Biopharmaceutical hubs in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on resin exports. These tariffs are increasing production costs and impacting bioprocess economics. However, they are also driving local resin manufacturing, regional supply chain diversification, and innovation in reusable and high-efficiency resin solutions.

The chromatography resins market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.21 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for biosimilars, expansion of continuous bioprocessing, rising focus on cost-efficient purification, growing investments in biomanufacturing infrastructure, increasing adoption of next-generation resin technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in monoclonal antibody purification, rising adoption of high-capacity affinity resins, growing demand for single-use chromatography systems, expansion of downstream bioprocessing capabilities, enhanced focus on process yield optimization.
Increasing investments in the healthcare sector are expected to propel the growth of the chromatography resin market going forward. Healthcare investments refer to financial resources allocated to the industry, including funding for medical research, development of new healthcare technologies, and infrastructure improvement. Investments in chromatography resins support research and development, leading to enhanced purification processes, more efficient drug production, and improved healthcare outcomes. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, total healthcare expenditure increased by 5.6% in nominal terms between 2022 and 2023, compared with growth of 0.9% in 2022. Therefore, the rising investments in the healthcare sector are driving the growth and adoption of chromatography resins in pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications.
Key companies in the chromatography resins market are developing technologically advanced solutions, including protein A chromatography resins, to provide high specificity and efficiency in antibody purification. Protein A chromatography resin is a specialized resin utilized in affinity chromatography to purify antibodies by binding to the Fc region of immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, due to its strong affinity for Protein A. For example, in June 2024, Ecolab Inc., a US-based chemical company, introduced DurA Cycle, a protein A chromatography resin designed for large-scale purification processes. DurA Cycle is specifically created for the large-scale commercial production of monoclonal antibodies, where managing the cost of goods is crucial for biologic drug developers. This innovative resin enables biologic manufacturers to improve production efficiencies, reduce costs, and accelerate the introduction of new treatments to the clinic.
In June 2023, Biotage, a life sciences company based in Sweden, acquired Astrea Bioseparations for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to broaden the company's franchise into the rapidly growing and larger bioprocessing segment, while also increasing its exposure to biologics and advanced therapeutic customers. Additionally, it enhances Biotage's pipeline with a wealth of upcoming product launches across chromatography resins, nanofiber-based membranes, and columns. Astrea Bioseparations is a manufacturer of chromatography resins located in the UK.
