Key Drivers

The major factor contributing to the hydrogel market growth is increasing application in food additives, sanitation, microfluids, and medication delivery system due to their versatility, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and biocompatibility with most cells. The growing drift towards organic and chemical-free skincare products among younger generation will add to the market growth. Increasing application of hydrogels in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the storage stability of existing medical products and in wound dressing to moisturize the wound and repair the epidermis, remove extra dead tissues, and granulate the healing process, has fueled the hydrogel market size.

In addition, the rising deployment of hydrogels in sanitary products to make thinner pads with better absorbency and suction power will further bolster the market growth. The growing demand for sanitary napkins, baby diapers, and paper towels across the globe, is contributing to the growth of the market. Other factors including accelerating infant and geriatric population, growing research and development (R&D) to create new and advanced products and technological advancements in the healthcare industry. For instance, in January 2022, Oscar Mayer, an American meat and cold cut producer entered a partnership with Seoul Mamas, a Korea-based skincare company, to introduce its new Bologna Hydrogel Sheet Face Mask. The sheet mask is integrated with seaweed and witch hazel-derived ingredients. The increasing number of similar other product launches are anticipated to bolster the growth in this market. However, environmental hazards associated with the decomposition of synthetic hydrogel and rising production costs are projected to hinder the hydrogel market share.

Raw Material Type Segment Analysis

Synthetic raw material is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing region over the upcoming years, owing to their enlarged service life, higher gel strength, and water absorption capability. Fortunately, the well-defined structure of synthetic polymers that can be adjusted to provide degradability and flexibility of tailoring, will add to the market growth.

Application Segment Analysis

Personal Care and Hygiene application is expected to lead the market over the forecast period, due to its tissue-like physical properties, superior biocompatibility, higher water absorption, enhanced oxygen permeability, and micro-porous structure for additional transport channels. The growing emphasis of hygiene industries to make thinner pads with higher absorbency under load, and increased suction power will further proliferate the market growth. Several leading organizations like the World Health Organization, World Bank Group, and UNICEF, are emphasizing on increasing awareness about the importance of hygiene, primarily menstrual hygiene management (MHM) for women and adolescent girls., which will pave the way for market. For example, the World Bank Group launched a flagship sanitation operation under the Swachh Bharath Mission in India to spread awareness among community, including boys and men, to break the taboo around menstruation. For instance, the US personal care products market was valued at USD 80,212 million in 2021, and it is expected to reach USD 99.5 million by 2026, which is expected to stimulate the demand for the hydrogel market in the country.
