Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers that can hold a large amount of water while maintaining the structure due to the chemical or physical cross-linking of individual polymer chains. They can swell in water. There must be at least 10% water content of the total weight/volume for a material to be a hydrogel. Hydrogen undergoes a volume phase transition in response to physical and chemical stimuli such as temperature, electric and magnetic fields, solvent composition, light intensity, pressure, pH, ions, and specific chemical compositions and can return to its initial state after a reaction as soon as the trigger is removed.

Market Dynamics
The prime factors contributing to the demand for hydrogels are:
Increasing demand for personal care & hygiene products.
Rising disposable income
Increasing penetration of hydrogels in the healthcare sector.
Growing demand for the microwave industry to boost market growth.
Rising adoption of hydrogels in drug delivery system.
The market is segmented as natural, synthetic, and hybrid. The synthetic segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2022 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Rise in the demand for hydrogel with synthetic raw material in the field of drug delivery, medicine, biotechnology, and tissue engineering to drive the market.
By Composition Type
The hydrogel market is segmented as polyacrylate, polyacrylamide, silicone, and others. Polyacrylate dominated the hydrogel market with the increased use of personal care & hygiene products in 2019 and is expected to maintain its leading position during the forecast period.
By Form Type
The market is segmented as Amorphous, Semi-Crystalline & Crystalline. The semicrystalline segment is expected to lead the global market for hydrogel during the forecast period. Semi-crystalline hydrogels are super absorbent hydrogel polymers. This has made the use of semicrystalline hydrogels for pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and postoperative wounds in the wound dressing industry.
By Region
North America is estimated to remain the largest market during the forecast period with the largest consumption in biotechnology and drug delivery from countries such as the USA and Canada. Europe and Asia-Pacific are also likely to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
