Hydrogel Market Segment Analysis:

by Raw Material Type

Synthetic

Natural

Hybrid

During the projected period, the synthetic segment is anticipated to develop at the greatest CAGR based on the kind of raw material. Strong gels, extended service lives, and high water absorption rates are characteristics of synthetic hydrogels. Thankfully, synthetic polymers often have well-defined structures that can be modified to offer customised degradability and flexibility. These factors are predicted to increase the need for synthetic hydrogel.

by Composition

Polyacrylate

Polyacrylamide

Silicone-modified hydrogels (SiH)

Agar

Others

The Polyacrylate sector is anticipated to expand at the greatest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period. This expansion may be due to polyacrylate hydrogels' capacity to retain water, which increases their appropriateness for usage in personal care and hygiene applications. The polyacrylate market has expanded thanks to enhanced hydrogel qualities like elasticity and transparency.

by Form

Amorphous

Semi crystalline

by End-User

Contact Lenses

Hygiene Products

Wound Care

Drug Delivery

Tissue Engineering

Others

During the projection period, the Personal Care and Hygiene segment is anticipated to expand at the greatest CAGR based on end users. Hydrogel's soft and tissue-like physical characteristics, water absorption, high oxygen permeability, enhanced biocompatibility, micro-porous structure for additional transport channels, and many other attributes make it the perfect material for use in hygiene products. The goal of the hygiene product sector is to provide smaller pads with greater suction power, improved swelling pressure, and higher absorbency under load. The best option is to use hydrogel because of its properties. According to MMR research, the market for baby nappies and feminine hygiene products is projected to grow by approximately 6.5% from the current year to reach over USD 95.90 billion in 2023.
