Medical Grade Hydrogel Market Demands and Gross Margin From 2018 To 2026 With Key Vendors 3M, ConvaTec, Integra Lifescience Holdings Corporation, Smith & Nephew plc, United Axelgaard, Coloplast, Paul Hartmann

Hydrogel are hydrophilic, three dimensional, and cross-linked polymer chain, which has property to absorb different fluids. They resemble body tissue with respect to their ability to absorb large amount of water. The property to absorb different types of the fluid makes hydrogel suitable for many medical applications. As human body consist of large amount of water, therefore hydrogels are highly biocompatible and can be used as carrier for many active ingredients. Being biodegradable, hydrogels are harmless as compared to other polymers. Hydrogels such as polysaccharides and polypeptides are of natural origin, whereas artificial hydrogels include N-isopropyl acrylamide and Jeffamine M-1000 acrylamide.

Artificial hydrogels carries superior mechanical strength, longer shelf life, and larger capacity to absorb water. This hydrogels are based on the type of material from which they originate, shows varying response to pH, temperature, light, and different chemicals. The pH responsive hydrogels possess chemical/physical properties at specific pH. Gastric targeted drug such as small intestine, stomach, and colon targeted drug delivery system has been under development specifically for chronic conditions such as colon and stomach cancer. Cell modelling is conducted to mimic GI tract cell, based on pH characteristics. Light responsive hydrogels can be used in gene delivery, drug delivery, and biomedical sensors.

Market Dynamics

Medical grade hydrogel is gaining significant traction as the novel carrier, which can be used in various products targeted for different indications. Currently medical grade hydrogel has major application in wound dressings, plastic surgery, cosmetics, orthopedics, and immunotherapy. Increasing research on utility and capability of medical grade hydrogel is expected to propel growth of the medical grade hydrogel market. Hydrogels is currently widely used as material for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Therefore, increasing number of reconstructive surgery is expected to drive growth of market. Extensive research is being conducted on hydrogels for their application in novel drug delivery systems such as controlled release delivery and sustained release delivery to improve the prospect of hydrogels as novel excipient and carrier.

Increasing adoption of immunotherapy to treat various disease such as asthma and Crohn’s disease are expected to fuel growth of the medical grade hydrogel market. A nanovector composed of peptide-based nanofibrous hydrogel can condense DNA to result in strong immune responses against disease such as HIV. HIV is one of the major cause of deaths globally. According to UNAIDS factsheet, in 2016, around 36.7 million were suffering from HIV worldwide. Hydrogels are majorly used in proteomics and electrophoresis as replacement to other types of polymers. Smart hydrogels and tissue engineering are future research areas for hydrogel, which would aid in medical application and drive growth for medical grade hydrogel market.
