Global Hydrogel Dressing Market: Overview

Hydrogel dressings are semi-occlusive and composed of insoluble hydrophilic polymers with 90 percent of water. During the inflammatory and debridement phases of wound healing, hydrogel dressings are considered to be best indicated for use on clean wounds. They are used to aid in autolytic debridement, rehydrate eschar, and hydrate wounds. When a fluid donation is important, hydrogel dressing is crucial in any wound care treatment.

Global Hydrogel Dressing Market: Growth Factors

The global hydrogel dressing market is growing at a speedy rate. Factors such as the growing prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers, increase in burn injuries & accidental cases, and rise in adoption of hydrogel dressing for wound care are propelling the growth of the global market. A moist environment is provided by the hydrogels to absorb some exudate and for cell migration. It has a soothing and cooling effect on the skin which is very essential in painful wounds and burns. Hydrogel dressing is extensively used on sloughy & dry wounds with nil to low exudate.

Pressure ulcers, cavity wounds, leg ulcers, graft & donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, and lacerations & abrasions are some of the conditions that are healed by hydrogel dressing. In addition to this, they are also used for the management of shingles and chickenpox. Owing to all these beneficial features of hydrogel dressing, they are widely adopted for wound care.

This is fueling the growth of the global hydrogel dressing market. In addition to this, growing investment in R&D activities and growing healthcare infrastructure are the factors that are fostering the growth of the global market. Moreover, factors such as the rise in the number of local manufacturers and the rise in healthcare expenditure are also augmenting the growth of the market.

Furthermore, technological advancements for the development of advanced hydrogel dressings will generate ample opportunities for the growth of the global hydrogel dressing market during the forecast period. However, the poor mechanical stability of hydrogel dressings in a swollen state may affect the adoption rate of the hydrogel dressing thereby hampering the growth of the global hydrogel dressing market.

Amid COVID-19 pandemic conditions, the demand for hydrogel dressing is expected to remain stable. However, the growing emphasis on COVID-19-related therapeutics has affected the sale of hydrogel dressing to some extent. Besides, many governments' strict lockdowns have resulted in restrictions on transportation and manufacturing activity, which slowed down the market growth in 2020. However, with the slowdown in the COVID-19 infection rate and lockdown, the global hydrogel dressing market is expected to bounce back and register healthy growth over the forecast period.
