Market Overview

A hydrogel is a cross-linked, three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers that can absorb and hold onto 99% of its weight in water while remaining structurally intact. Significant trends are being observed in the US hydrogel market, mostly due to developments in biomedical applications. The ageing population and the rising incidence of chronic wounds are two major market factors driving the demand for hydrogels in therapeutic applications and medical dressings. The creation of novel hydrogel materials with improved moisture retention and antibacterial qualities is becoming more and more important to meet the demands of healthcare practitioners for better treatment alternatives. The continuous research into hydrogel-based medicine delivery technologies is creating opportunities in the US hydrogel industry. Strong research capacity, large investments in biomedical innovation, and advanced manufacturing capabilities are the key drivers of the hydrogel industry in the United States. Medical facilities and research universities in the United States are advancing the use of hydrogel in wound healing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. These cutting-edge hydrogels can be commercialised due to the US Food and Drug Administration's regulatory environment, which encourages innovation in medical technology, in collaboration with academia and the US federal government. Researchers at Stanford University presented a new method of drug delivery based on hydrogel, whereby patients can receive a one-time injection every four months, instead of daily/weekly injections of drugs for managing diabetes and weight (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Victoza). The new method of drug delivery aims to help patients manage their chronic disease with less inconvenience and greater compliance.

Market Segmentation

The United States Hydrogel Market Share is classified into product type and form.

• The synthetic hydrogel segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States hydrogel market is segmented by product type into synthetic hydrogel, natural hydrogel, and hybrid hydrogel. Among these, the synthetic hydrogel segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by its usage in cutting-edge medical applications because of its biocompatibility and controlled swelling behaviour, including medication delivery devices, injectable gels, and contact lenses. Their use is also being aided by developments in polymer chemistry and the expansion of the healthcare sector.

• The amorphous segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the form, the United States hydrogel market is segmented into amorphous, semi-crystalline, and crystalline. Among these, the amorphous segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Amorphous hydrogels lack a clear crystalline pattern, are extremely flexible, and are non-structured. They are perfect for moisturising, medicine delivery, and wound care since they are frequently soft and transparent, allowing them to adapt to uneven surfaces. Amorphous hydrogels are in high demand because of their versatility in biological applications like tissue engineering and wound treatment.
