Hydrogel Market by Raw Material Type, Composition, Form, Application, Region - Global Forecast to 2022 - Research and Markets

The "Hydrogel Market by Raw Material Type, Composition, Form, Application, Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The hydrogel market is estimated to be USD 11.43 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 15.33 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.04% from 2017 to 2022. The rising disposable income of individuals, growing population, and increasing awareness regarding hygiene are factors contributing to the growth of the hydrogel market in emerging economies, such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. However, the changing physical and chemical properties of hydrogels are acting as a restraint to the growth of this market.

The polyacrylate composition segment led the hydrogel market in 2016; this segment is projected to retain its leading position through 2022. Polyacrylate is the most commonly used hydrogel with significant characteristics, such as transparency, elasticity, and water locking ability. The polyacrylate hydrogel is extensively used in various products, such as paper diapers, sanitary towels, inflatable flood sandbags, protection materials, waterproof tapes, expansion toys, and water retaining gel for plants.

Based on application, the hydrogel market has been segmented into wound care, personal care & hygiene, drug delivery, agriculture, contact lens, and others. The personal care & hygiene segment led the hydrogel market in 2016. Acrylate-based superabsorbent hydrogels are used in personal care products, owing to their ability to absorb fluids. Thus, hydrogels are increasingly utilized in personal care products, thereby contributing to the growth of the personal care & hygiene segment.
