Global Hydrogel Dressing Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Dressing Type (Amorphous Hydrogel Dressings, Sheet Hydrogel Dressings, and Impregnated Hydrogel Dressings), By Application (Acute Wounds and Chronic Wounds), and By End-User (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), Forecast (2022-2028)

The hydrogel dressing market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period (2022-2028). For the past 60 years, hydrogel dressings have been used to treat both acute and chronic wounds. Synthetic polymers, such as polyvinyl pyrrolidine and methacrylate, are used to make these dressings. They are mostly made up of water, with a foundation of glycerin or aloe. Hydrogel dressings provide a cooling effect at the wound site, resulting in pain relief, wound debridement, granulation re-epithelization, and wound fluid exchange management. Hydrogel dressings keep wounds wet and promote healing. They are used to treat full- and partial-thickness wounds, radiation damage, acute burns, dry wounds, and a variety of other conditions. The major factors driving the growth of the market include improving healthcare infrastructures, advancements in remote monitoring technologies of wound care products, and supportive government initiatives with the objective of improving awareness about timely diagnosis and treatment of wounds, especially among diabetic patients.

The global hydrogel dressing market is segmented based on dressing type, application, and end-user. Based on dressing type, the market is sub-segmented into amorphous hydrogel dressings, sheet hydrogel dressings, and impregnated hydrogel dressings. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into acute wounds and chronic wounds. Based on end-user, the market is sub-segmented into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Among these end-users, the hospital segment is expected to propel the growth of the market due to the availability of skilled physicians and good infrastructure with proper treatment facilities.

The market players are also contributing significantly to the market growth by adopting various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in October 2021, NEXGEL, Inc. announced positive results from its validation study, demonstrating the antimicrobial properties of its SilverSeal product line. The silver-impregnated hydrogel-based product was found to be up to 99% effective in reducing common bacteria, fungus, and yeasts that can be present after a superficial skin injury.
