Provided is a concentration control system that has only a small time delay, obtains accurate estimated values, and also enables partial pressure control having improved responsiveness and accuracy. The system includes a flow rate control device provided on a supply flow path that supplies gas to a chamber, and controls a flow rate of a gas in the supply flow path to match a set flow rate, a partial pressure measurement device for a gas inside the chamber, an observer having a model which estimates a state of the gas inside the chamber, where a flow rate of the gas flowing into the chamber and measured partial pressures are input into the model, and an estimated partial pressure of the gas within the chamber is output, and a controller that, based on a set partial pressure and on the estimated partial pressure, sets the set flow rate.
