Hydrogel Dressing Market, By Product Type (Hydrogel Sheets, Amorphous Hydrogel Dressings, and Impregnated Gauze), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, E-Commerce, and Others), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2034

Hydrogel Dressing Market was valued at US$ 966.2 Million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 0.7% to reach US$ 1530.8 Million by 2034.

Hydrogel Dressing are composed of 90% of water which is suspended in gel made of insoluble hydrophilic polymers that swells up when came in contact with water and made from polyvinylpyrrolidine and polymethacrylate. Hydrogel Dressing are used in treating ulcers, burn and wound.

Growing acute wound population has become major contribution in target market growth. Further, rising prevalence of chronic diseases and geriatric population is likely to propel market growth. Rising accidental and sports injuries is expected to provide lucrative opportunities in Hydrogel Dressing market growth over the forecast period.

Growing Chronic Wound Population

Growing chronic wound population has contributed in Hydrogel Dressing market growth. Chronic wound includes, diabetic foot ulcer, infected wounds, burns of various origins and leg & pressure ulcers. Modern wound dressings such as Hydrogel has positive degradation properties such as thermal insulation, maintaining gas exchange and moist environment, safety, presence of antibacterial properties which makes them a perfect choice in application of chronic wound which, in turn drive the Hydrogel Dressing market growth.

According to PMC (PubMed Central), in March 2021, in United States around 2.5% of population has chronic wound due to growing geriatric population, obesity and diabetes across globe. This percent is expected to increase due to rising prevalence of chronic diseases.

Restrains:

However, hydrogels are not suitable for wet wounds as it is not able to absorb large amount of fluids and thus, get infected which hampered market growth. Further, low mechanical strength of hydrogel restrain the Hydrogel Dressing market growth over the forecast period.

Hydrogel Dressing Market is segmented based on Product Type, Distribution Channel and Region.

Recent Development:

• In January 2022, Researchers at University of Wolverhampton, developed new environment friendly hydrogel dressing for chronic wound. New launched hydrogel dressing is biodegradable made with natural materials such as curcumin and silver which supports healing process.
• In June 2022, Researchers at Brown University developed new hydrogel dressing which releases antibiotics when it detects presence of bacteria. New launched hydrogel is designed to degrade polymers when it encounter an enzyme beta-lactamases produced by pathogenic bacteria.
• In July 2019, Researchers at Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University developed an AAD (active adhesive dressings), made from hydrogel which speed up wound healing and also has wide applications in soft robotics and regenerative medicines.
