Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Market Size

Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Market size was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 6.15 billion by 2037, expanding at over 10.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of hydrophobic interaction chromatography is evaluated at USD 1.99 billion.

The market growth is rising due to growing cases of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, and higher development of vaccines. In nations around the world, more than thirty vaccines have been approved for general or emergency use. Since host cells can contaminate the final vaccine product during the manufacture of the viral vaccine, HIC is employed to remove the host cell protein, ensuring the purity and safety of the final vaccine formulations.

Rising cases of patent expiration are likely to boost hydrophobic interaction chromatography market. When a drug's patent expires, manufacturers may be forced to design their own purifying technique in order to make generic medications. In this regard, HIC can be viewed as a viable purification tool for medication development by manufacturers.
