Global Boronate Affinity Chromatography Market 2016-2020

Overview of the boronate affinity chromatography market

Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global boronate affinity chromatography market will witness steady growth and post a moderate CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. One of the unique characteristics of boronate affinity chromatography is that it can easily be integrated with other chromatography techniques like high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The analytical column contains aminophenyl boronic acid bonded to a porous polymer support, which is usually a gel. Patient samples and reagents are allowed to pass through the analytical column during the process. Since the glycated component helps bind the boronate, the non-glycated component is allowed to pass through the column to the spectrophotometric detector. The integration of boronate affinity chromatography with other chromatography techniques results in improved accuracy and detection while increasing the flexibility of the process. This process can also be integrated with gas chromatography (GC), supercritical fluid chromatography, and thin layer chromatography, leading to its increased adoption in the biomedical sector over the next four years.

The augmented demand for boronate affinity chromatography equipment from emerging nations such as China, India, South Africa, and Brazil is one of the significant trends propelling this market’s growth during the estimated period. These countries are experiencing a high growth rate, which, in turn, is leading to an increased demand for laboratory equipment. Moreover, a rapidly growing chemical industry and increased investments from private investors will also have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Additionally, the migration of R&D facilities from western countries to developing nations in the APAC region due to low labor costs will lead to a higher demand for boronate affinity chromatography products and other similar laboratory equipment over the forecast period.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The global boronate affinity chromatography market is partially fragmented with the presence of several vendors. The products offered by these vendors do not largely differ in terms of functionality and design; however, the major players in the market try to differentiate themselves by providing product customization and services. Although there are several direct substitutes for boronate affinity chromatography solutions, none of the other methods have the functional efficiency or the cost benefit of this method for certain applications. As a result, the market remains relatively less competitive with respect to product innovation. The key vendors in this market use after sales services and a streamlined distribution system to maintain their market position.

Key vendors in this market are -

• AMS Biotechnology
• Bio-Rad Laboratories
• Merck
• Thermo Fisher Scientific

Other prominent players in the market include Becton, Dickinson and Company, Helena Laboratories, Pall Corporation, Phenomenex, Regis Technologies, Shimadzu Corporation, Trinity Biotech, Tosoh Corporation, VWR International, Waters Corporation, and W.R Grace and Co.

Product segmentation and analysis of the boronate affinity chromatography market

• Reagents
• Instruments

During 2025, the boronate affinity chromatography market was led by the reagents segment, which accounted for over 42% of the total market share in terms of revenue. The growth of this segment is attributed to the relatively faster replacement cycles and larger volumes of reagents required. The reagents used for boronate affinity chromatography process often have a life of one process and cannot be reused. This translates to the requirement of new reagents and markers for every process, regardless of the technology or method employed. With the growing adoption of boronate affinity chromatography in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, the demand for reagents is expected to rise.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the boronate affinity chromatography market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

In terms of geography, the Americas will dominate the market and is anticipated to hold close to 38% of the total market shares by 2020. The growth of this market in the Americas is due to the presence of a large number of healthcare facilities, testing laboratories, sub-contract laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies in the region. Moreover, the Americas is also home to several of the major vendors in this market including Bio-Rad Laboratories and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Research investments have also been high in South American countries, such as Brazil, where the focus on cancer research has increased significantly during the last couple of years.
