Novel Technological Advancements

The increasing technological innovations, including the introduction of hydrogel electrolytes for producing safe and flexible batteries, are fueling the global market. For instance, according to the findings published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition in September 2023, researchers at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), a part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), created innovative hydrogel electrolyte with an unusually high salt concentration. This development effectively mitigates water-induced side reactions, paving the way for extended and practical cycling capabilities in aqueous sodium-ion batteries. Apart from this, the inflating popularity of hydrogel-based sensors due to their flexibility and ability to detect deformations accurately is one of the hydrogel market's recent opportunities. For example, in July 2023, a review written by Dr. Weixing Song from the Department of Chemistry at the Capital Normal University emphasized the development status of various hydrogel sensors and highlighted strategies to enhance their mechanical and electrical performance. Moreover, the findings are valuable for designing components and structures of high-performance wearable hydrogel sensors. This, in turn, will continue to fuel the market in the coming years.

Global Hydrogel Market Segmentation:

Breakup by Raw Material Type:

  • Synthetic
  • Natural
  • Hybrid

Currently, synthetic accounts for the largest market share

Synthetic hydrogels have a higher capacity for water absorption than natural hydrogels, which is propelling the segment's growth. The amount of water in the hydrogel is usually determined by the properties of polymers and the density of networking. The inclusion of hydrophilic groups, such as -SO3H, -CONH2, -COOH, -NH2, -CONH, and -OH, contributes to the network's hydrophilicity. Synthetic hydrogels are gaining extensive traction, owing to their high-water content, which is elevating the hydrogel market's recent price. Besides this, they provide excellent support for neuronal tissue growth in areas of brain injury, suggesting a potential strategy for brain tissue restoration. For instance, in May 2023, researchers at Hong Kong University developed electroconductive hydrogels by using the hybrid assembly of polymeric nanofiber networks. Moreover, these synthetic hydrogels offer excellent mechanical strength. Consequently, they find applications in the engineering of various bioelectronic devices for cardiac or neural interfaces.

Breakup by Form:

  • Amorphous
  • Semi-crystalline
  • Crystalline

Among these, semi-crystalline currently exhibits a clear dominance in the hydrogel market share

Semi-crystalline hydrogels refer to moderately water-swollen hydrogels containing crystalline domains. They exhibit optimal self-healing, melt-processability, and shape-memory functions. Furthermore, they find numerous applications, such as injectable gels, chemical motors, shape-memory hydrogels, smart inks for 3D or 4D printing, etc., as these hydrogels can undergo an abrupt and reversible change from a solid-like to a liquid-like state at the melting temperature. Additionally, the ability of these hydrogels to maintain a significant amount of water within their structure while displaying enhanced mechanical properties opens up possibilities for advanced uses in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and environmentally responsive technologies, where controlled responses to external stimuli are crucial.

Breakup by Composition:

  • Polyacrylate
  • Polyacrylamide
  • Silicone-modified Hydrogels (SiH)
  • Others

Currently, silicone-modified hydrogels (SiH) account for the majority of the global market share

Silicone-modified hydrogels (SiH) represent innovative materials that integrate the hydrophilic properties of hydrogels with the flexibility and durability of silicone. Additionally, they exhibit increased oxygen permeability, improved biocompatibility, enhanced mechanical strength, etc. Besides this, SiH finds extensive applications in the biomedical field, particularly in contact lens technology. Additionally, the integration of silicone improves the water retention abilities of the hydrogels, which is crucial for maintaining hydration and ensuring comfort in ocular applications. Beyond eye care, silicone-modified hydrogels are also being explored for wound dressing materials due to their ability to create a moist healing environment while being gentle on the skin. These characteristics also open up potential applications in drug delivery systems and tissue scaffolds, where controlled release and structural integrity are essential. This, in turn, is expected to fuel the hydrogel market outlook over the forecasted period.

Breakup by Application:

  • Contact Lenses
  • Personal Care and Hygiene
  • Wound Care
  • Drug Delivery
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Others

Among these, personal care and hygiene products hold the largest market share

The hygiene products comprising superabsorbent polymers, such as hydrogels, for absorbing large amounts of body fluids are gaining widespread popularity. As per the hydrogel market statistics, the increasing awareness about the importance of maintaining proper hygiene among infants, the expanding geriatric population, and the growing prevalence of functional and cognitive impairment are some of the key factors propelling the segment's growth. Besides this, the escalating demand for baby diapers is also acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For example, according to IMARC, the global diaper market size reached US$ 85.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 159.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7% during 2024-2032. Additionally, the launch of favorable policies by government bodies to promote the adoption of sanitary products is stimulating the market.
