Hydrogel is a water insoluble polymer that can retain water around 95% in gel form. The ability of hydrogel to hold significant amount of water describes the moderate hydrophilic character of polymer chains. It is manufactured by using sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, acrylate polymers, and different polymers. Hydrogel are majorly used in hygiene products like sanitary pads, diaper etc. Hydrogels are also used in variety of biomedical applications like wound healing, bone regeneration etc due to biocompatibility & also due to similarity of properties of natural tissue. Rising demand for feminine hygiene products is likely tol drive the hydrogel market during the forecast period. Rising hygiene awareness & ever-increasing infant, ageing population will drive the hygiene industry. As hygiene & hydrogel market are interconnected, rise in demand of hygiene market will also drive the market for hydrogel. Increasing adoption of hydrogel in contact lens...
