Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017
- 2025
Global Hydrogel Market: Snapshot
Hydrogels are a cross-linked, three-dimensional network of synthetic or organic
polymer chains that contain 90% water. The capability of hydrogels of holding a
significant amount of water and their softness make them flexible, hydrophilic in
nature, and unique. Sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, acrylate polymers, and
copolymers are ingredients widely used during the manufacture of hydrogels.
Hydrogels are widely employed in soft contact lenses, disposable diapers, wound
dressings, drug delivery, and components of medical electrodes. Rising use of
hydrogel in a number of applications across the personal care and hygiene sectors
is expected to present vast growth opportunities for the global hydrogel market in
the next few years.
Transparency Market Research states that the global hydrogel market was valued at
US$10,084.9 mn in 2016. The market is expected to exhibit a healthy 6.3% CAGR
from 2017 to 2025 and rise to a valuation of US$17,487.6 mn by 2024. In terms of
volume, the market is expected to exhibit a 5.5% CAGR over the said period.

Polyacrylamide- and Polyacrylate-based Hydrogels to Witness Strong
Demand
On the basis of type, hydrogel can be broadly categorized into polyacrylate,
polyacrylamide, silicone and others. Polyacrylate polymers, also known as water-
lock polymers, are prepared by polymerizing acrylic acid via physical or chemical
crosslinking. Sodium polyacrylate-based hydrogels are employed in product such as
baby diapers, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene
products, and paper towels. Polyacrylamide is used in tissue engineering as well as
in drug treatment, sanitary napkins, diapers, food packaging products, ophthalmic
operations, wrinkle filling, and water purification. Silicone-based hydrogel is widely
employed in soft and disposable daily wear contact lenses.
Of these, the segments of polyacrylamide and polyacrylate are expected to expand
significantly during the forecast period due to the rising adoption of disposable
sanitary products by consumers. The segment of silicone-based hydrogel is also
